Questions, answered.
A Canopy Pal is a small smart tag that stakes into the soil of your pot. Each Pal has a passive NFC chip inside, so you can tap it with your phone to open that plant in Canopy.
Part plant buddy, part smart tag, each Pal gives your plant a little personality while making care easier to remember and easier to track.
Canopy Pals use NFC, the same kind of short-range technology behind tap-to-pay. The chip inside the Pal is passive, which means it does not need a battery, charging, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi to work.
When you hold your iPhone near the Pal, your phone briefly powers the chip and opens the right plant in Canopy.
Canopy runs on iPhone with iOS. Tap-to-open tech for Canopy Pals works on any iPhone that supports background NFC tag reading (iPhone XS and newer).

No. You can use Canopy as a plant journal and care tracker without a Pal. You can add plants manually, log care, add photos, and start building your plant history right in the app.
Canopy Pals make the habit easier. Instead of opening the app, searching for the right plant, and remembering to log care later, you tap the Pal in the pot and jump straight to that plant. It turns care into a simple, physical ritual: see the plant, tap the Pal, log the moment.
