About

Canopy Flight

Features
Read full description

Canopy is the paragliding logbook you open after you land. Log every flight — record it live with your iPhone's GPS and barometer, or import tracks from your flight computer (IGC, GPX, and TCX supported). Then relive it: Canopy replays your flight over a real 3D terrain map in Apple Maps, with your track color-coded by climb rate so you can see exactly where the lift was. FLIGHT RECORDING • Record flights live using GPS + barometer for accurate altitude, speed, and duration • Your track is preserved even if a recording is interrupted UNIVERSAL IMPORTS • Import IGC, GPX, and TCX files via AirDrop or the Files app • Works with XCTrack, FlySkyHy, Flymaster, Oudie, Garmin, and other flight computers 3D FLIGHT REPLAY • Review your track over real 3D terrain in Apple Maps • Color-coded by climb rate: strong lift, light lift, glide, and sink • Play, pause, and scrub with a live readout of speed, altitude, sink rate, and glide ratio STATISTICS & CHARTS • Distance, duration, max/avg altitude, climb/sink rates, glide ratio, ascent/descent • Interactive altitude, speed, and climb-rate charts YOUR LOGBOOK • Flights grouped by month, searchable, with favorites and tags • Manage your gliders, harnesses, and flying sites • Precision track trimming to clean up GPS noise at takeoff/landing • Export your full logbook as CSV, or share individual flights as TCX PRIVATE BY DESIGN Canopy is 100% offline-first. No accounts, no cloud sync, no trackers — your data stays on your iPhone unless you choose to export or share it. Canopy isn't a flight computer — it's built to complement one. Fly with the instrument you trust, then open Canopy on the ground to log, replay, and understand your flying.
