About Canary — Home Scanner
Point your camera at any room or product. Canary identifies what's there, tells you what's worth knowing, and quietly keeps track Scan any room in 30 seconds Canary recognizes household items — cookware, cleaning products, personal care, plastics, plants — and gives you a plain-English read on each one. No alarm language. Just what's there and what it means. Home Systems Set reminders for the things homes actually need: HVAC filters, water filters, appliance warranties, smoke detector batteries. Canary sends a quiet reminder when something's due — early enough to do something about it. Built for your household Add the people and pets in your home. If you have a toddler, birds, a dog, or you're expecting, Canary surfaces what's most relevant to your specific household. Builds over time Every room you scan adds to a picture of your home. What's changed, what needs attention, what you've improved. We don't run ads. We don't sell your home data. No brand pays us to recommend their products — some shopping links are affiliate links, and if you buy through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Photos are analyzed in the moment — we don't keep your full images. A small thumbnail stays in your scan history so you can look back, and you can delete it anytime. For informational purposes only. —Marc
What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated June 16, 2026
Two big things in this update: Appliance scanning is now free. Point your camera at a filter, appliance, or smoke detector and Canary tracks when it's due — without using your room scans. Setting up your home shouldn't cost you anything. Canary now knows clean vs. replace. A washable range-hood filter says "clean," a disposable one says "replace" — so you're never told to throw out a part you can rinse. Plus a calmer, quieter look — softer colors and plainer language throughout — and smoother scrolling and keyboards across the app. —Marc
