Canopy for Plex
Safe streaming for families
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your Plex library, built for families.
Canopy for Plex gives your family a beautiful, distraction-free interface to watch the movies and shows you already own — without giving them access to everything in your library.
A better viewing experience:
- Simple, full-screen video player with big, easy-to-tap controls
- Continue Watching — picks up right where they left off
- Favorites — save their go-to shows
- Age-appropriate browsing with no hidden surprises
Parents stay in control:
- PIN-protected parental controls — change settings only when you're ready
- Filter your library by content rating so only approved content appears
- Download videos for offline viewing — perfect for travel or no-Wi-Fi zones
- Screen time controls to set daily limits
Works with your existing Plex setup:
Canopy connects directly to your Plex Media Server. No extra subscriptions. No new content to buy. Just a safer way for your family to watch what you already have.
Requires an existing Plex Media Server. Plex Pass not required.
Ratings & Reviews
Multi-language titles now play in the right language.
Fixed
• Movies and shows with several audio tracks now start in your language, instead of whichever track happened to be first in the file
• Choosing a different audio language in the player now actually switches the audio
• Your language choice is remembered, so the next episode starts the same way
