Pre-launch · Android first · Testing now

Your garden, planned to the day.

What to plant, where it goes, and when — built from your beds, your seeds and your local weather. Then Canopy keeps up with the season: the rain that fell, the heat that built, the harvest on its way.

Log tasks, diagnose problems from a photo, and forecast every harvest from live weather.

A season at a glance

A salsa garden, dated.

Five crops, one season, every step on its day — in a garden whose last frost is May 1 and first is October 1. Yours moves with your own frost dates.

Design

Draw your garden, bed by bed.

Lay out every bed to scale on a top-down map, over a satellite view of your own yard. Canopy spaces each planting from its plant library, so what you draw is what will fit.

  • Ask for an AI layout and preview it before anything moves
  • Kinds of one crop kept together, sprawlers given their room
  • Rows lined up with your drip tape, so every plant gets water
  • Plantings that should be kept apart are kept apart

Plan

Know the day to sow.

Your seeds and your own frost dates become a dated plan for the season: when to start indoors, when to harden off, when to transplant, and when to expect a harvest.

  • A calendar of every sowing, transplant and harvest window
  • Yearly care for berries, trees and perennials, dated for your climate
  • Hardening off with a daily out-or-in call from the forecast
  • Next season designed bed by bed, with what grew there before in view

Diagnose

Show Canopy the leaf.

Take a photo of a plant that looks wrong. Canopy names the plant and checks it for pests, disease and nutrient problems, and tells you what to do next.

  • Identifies the plant and what is troubling it
  • Treatment advice in plain words
  • Saved to the plant's log with the photo, so you can watch it recover

Forecast

See the harvest coming.

Plants ripen on heat, not on the calendar. Canopy counts the heat units in your own local weather and estimates when each crop will be ready, and updates as the season runs warm or cool.

  • Harvest estimates from growing-degree-days, not seed-packet guesses
  • This season against last, crop by crop and bed by bed
  • Every harvest logged, so you know what each bed really gave

The toolset

Everything else the season asks of you.

One app from the first seed indoors to the last harvest in — each tool reading the same garden.

A bed's crop rotation: the plant families grown there in each of the last three seasons

Crop rotation

Every bed remembers the plant families grown there, and warns you before the same family goes back in.

The garden log: searchable, filtered by time, entry and bed, with a photo check of carnations at the top

The Log

Everything you do in the garden, with photos — searchable, filterable, and tied to the plant and bed it happened in.

Weather

Your local forecast and frost alerts — and with Pro, your own backyard weather station.

Canopy Insights: the season in numbers — started, harvested, watered, fed — and this season against last

Insights

This season against last: harvest by crop and by bed, and water given against rain fallen.

Water & Feed

A watering plan for each zone that knows it rained, and a feed schedule worked out from your own fertilizer and soil test. You run the water; Canopy tells you how much and when.

Hardening off

A day-by-day schedule for moving seedlings outdoors, with a call each day on whether they go out, from the forecast.

Tags & labels

Write an NFC tag or print a QR label for a plant or a seed packet. Tap or scan it in the garden and its page opens.

Ask Canopy

Ask about your own garden — your beds, your plants, your weather — and get an answer that knows them.

Seeds & supplies

What you have on the shelf, what you used, and a shopping list built from the plan.

Built for your garden

Not a generic calendar. Yours.

Your frost dates

Every date in the plan is built from the last and first frost where you garden — not a zone map's average.

Your weather

Rain, heat and frost come from a forecast for your own location, and from your backyard station if you have one.

Either hemisphere

A season that starts in September is a season, not an error. The calendar turns where you are.

Feet or metres

Beds, spacing, rain and temperatures in the units you use.

Try it now, no account needed: give your frost dates and see your season.

Your garden is free. Pro is Canopy doing the thinking.

Every new account gets Pro's planning features free for its first 60 days, no card needed. After that, everything you entered stays yours and stays editable, and any tag you've written still opens its page.

Questions

Before you join.

Can I get it now?+

Canopy AI is in a closed test on Android ahead of its Google Play release. You can join that test today: see Become a tester at the foot of this page.

Is there an iPhone version?+

Android comes first. There is no iPhone version yet.

Do I need Pro?+

No. Your whole garden — the map, the dated plan, the log, your own watering and feeding programs — is free. Pro is Canopy doing the thinking: re-planning your watering from the rain, working out your feeding, tracking harvests on heat, and more AI. Every new account gets Pro's planning free for its first 60 days.

Will it work where I live?+

Yes. Dates come from your own frost data and weather, in either hemisphere, in feet or metres.

Does it run my irrigation?+

No. Canopy plans how much to water and when, from your forecast and the rain that fell. You run your own system.

What happens to my garden data?+

It's yours. It syncs to your account so a new phone picks up where you left off, and you can delete the account and everything in it at any time. The details are in the privacy policy.
