Hey Product Hunt! I'm Ashton, the solo dev behind Canopy. I built this because I had a problem every Plex parent knows: you've spent years curating a great media library, but there's no safe way to hand it to your kids. My options were either hovering over their shoulder the whole time or accepting they'd eventually find something they shouldn't. Plex has managed users and content ratings, but...
Canopy KidsKids mode for Plex — your library, built for little hands.
Canopy is a Plex client designed from the ground up for kids. Kid-safe browsing filtered by rating, PIN-protected parental controls, built-in screen time limits, offline downloads, continue watching, and favorites. A simple, beautiful interface little hands can actually navigate.
$4.99, one-time. No subscriptions, no ads. Apple TV app coming soon.

Launching tomorrow — what do you want to know?
Canopy Kids goes live on Product Hunt tomorrow and I'm pumped. It's a Plex client built from scratch for kids — simple UI, parental controls, screen time limits, offline downloads, I'm a solo dev and Plex parent who built the app I wished existed. Happy to answer any questions about the app, the tech stack, or what it's like building a niche iOS app as an indie dev. Drop your questions below...
