Canopy for Plex
Safe streaming for families
$6.99 · Designed for iPad
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.

Easier setup for new families
- Content ratings now show descriptions so you know exactly what G, PG, PG-13,
TV-Y, TV-PG, and other ratings mean
- The PIN step now clearly explains it's for parental controls
Better server connections
- Improved loading screens with helpful messaging while connecting to your
Plex server
- Friendlier error messages that explain servers sometimes need a moment to
wake up
Pull to refresh

you've just added new content to Plex
