Bring the creator economy to your mobile app

Canopie is a mobile app engine that enables your app to run other apps made by creators, providing the ability to unlock new markets, exponentially increase the user base, and reuse existing assets in innovative ways.

Craft new digital experiences

Designed to exponentially scale

Unlock new markets

Apps focused on one vertical can quickly reach its limits. The creator economy brings “Mini Apps” as a deployable unit to add new ideas, features, and use cases to engage users.

Meet evolving customer needs

Customers want more out of their favourite apps. Have an ever expanding catalogue of Mini Apps so there's always something for everyone.

Build faster

Mini Apps are built with Canopie's SDK, which comes pre-packaged with lots of UI components for creators. Mini Apps are lightweight so they can deployed, updated and launched on the fly -- all without going through the App Store or Play Store.

How it works

Step 1

Organizations add the Canopie engine to the mobile app

The engine is a native mobile library with just 1 line of code. This gives the Super App the ability to run Mini Apps.

Step 2

Creators build Mini Apps

Creators use the Canopie SDK to build Mini Apps. Mini Apps can leverage host App functions securely with the right permission. Things like accelerometers, cameras, and authenticated users are just some examples. Whatever the host decides to expose to Mini Apps can be leveraged. This reusability enables creators to come up with innovative use cases as if everything is an API, drastically reducing development time.

Step 3

Users load the Mini App dynamically

Approved Mini Apps will get a QR code. Users scan the code to load the Mini App on the fly. There's no need to update the Super App.

For Organizations

Reuse assets to focus on innovation

Share the solid foundations and capabilities that the app has today with creators so that they can build upon the shoulders of giants without reinventing the wheel. Financial services, logistics, and one login are examples of things that can be shared so that creators can focus on what makes them unique.

Crowd source developers

Building teams to expand the app is painstakingly slow. Self motivated creators exist everywhere around the world waiting for another platform to capitalize on. Canopie gives creators the tools to produce and the host app the ability scale its people organically.

For Creators

New revenue streams

Creators can unlock new revenue streams for themselves and for the Super App. A win-win relationship.

Tap into what makes the Super App successful

Access the native features, and unique functions provided by the Super App. Don’t re-write features that exist. Super Apps bring their user base and everything those users love about the App. Creators can now leverage these to build new experiences and use cases.

Leverage an expanding widget library

Creators can access Canopie's ever expanding, customizable library of pre-made widgets to build beautiful experiences.

Work smarter, not harder

Leverage a host of widgets from the UI library

Canopie provides a set of pre-built, customizable widgets with developer friendly documentation. These widgets are composable and form the foundation of the Mini App. The look and feel is completely customizable.
