Removing Canopy Shield from a device that is protected under an Accountability Partner, must be approved by the Accountability Partner.
On your protected computer, locate the Canopy icon
macOS: Top-right menu bar
Windows: System tray (bottom-right)
Click the Canopy icon to open the menu.
Select Uninstall.
When prompted, click Send Request.
This sends a removal request to your Accountability partner.
Your Accountability will receive the request and can choose to approve or deny it.
Click the Canopy icon again.
Select Uninstall once more.
Canopy Shield will now uninstall successfully.
Removal Prevention remains active.
Canopy cannot be removed.
You will receive a notification that the request was declined.
If your Accountability Partner does not respond, or if removal is required regardless of the response, please contact Canopy Support.
Support can review the situation and assist responsibly when needed.
Approval only allows removal — it does not uninstall the app automatically.
Removing Canopy from your computer does not cancel your subscription.
Subscription changes must be managed separately through your account.
