AI creates more viable directions than you can hold in your head.
Canopy captures forks the moment they happen—preserving intent, reasoning, and next steps so you can keep working, sync context to GitHub, and return with continuity intact.
Designed for the moment the thought breaks
Canopy works because it lives where work happens.
- Zero context switching — capture a branch instantly via hotkey
- No premature decisions — park ideas without resolving them
- Recall when it matters — resume with full reasoning, not fragments
Operational flow from capture to implementation
Keep capture, context storage, and coding in one path.
Use the Canopy desktop app hotkey to capture a branch while working.
Branches are stored in a Canopy project where you can park, reactivate, and hydrate.
Connect a repository and sync to write project-scoped Canopy files and branch screenshots.
In your IDE, reference the synced project Canopy file and screenshots before coding.
AI accelerates divergence faster than teams can evaluate it.
The issue is continuity. When the thread breaks, decisions lose their reasoning.
AI surfaces multiple viable paths at once. The challenge is not choosing — it is preserving why you chose when you need to return later.
What is missing is a layer that keeps decision continuity, not more idea generation.
Canopy holds branches and intent beside your existing tools. Containment, not a destination app.
How Canopy fits into your work
You're deep in a thread when a new direction appears.
Capture the branch instantly without leaving your flow.
Stay on the work that matters while the branch waits.
Automatically recall branches in your IDE.
