Buy a Canary. Own a Canary. coming soon

Hardware kits, not a service: real boards, printed enclosures, pre-flashed firmware. $0/month forever — there is no account, no app store, and nothing that expires.

When batches open, kits are built to order weekly — orders in by Sunday night ship the following week.

Print-it-yourself is free, forever

Every STL, OpenSCAD source, BOM, and a flash-from-browser path are open (Apache-2.0). Kits sell convenience, never access.

Sold honestly

Only devices with released firmware are sold. The Watch and Dash displays are still in development — waitlist here, try their real firmware in the Lab today.

Small-batch, by design

This is a workshop, not a warehouse. Batches are capped so every kit is tested before it ships; if a batch is full, the next one opens within a week.

Shipping & returns

Flat-rate US shipping at checkout (international coming later). Dead-on-arrival hardware is replaced, no questions. Unopened kits: 30-day returns. The fine print lives in Terms of Sale.

Buying for a school, nonprofit, or company?

The software is free to run at any scale, forever — you only ever pay for hardware, support, or attestation. The whole who-pays-what promise lives in one canonical place: LICENSING.md. Show it to procurement. Deploying for safety or ops at work? See For Industry; for anything else, talk to a human.

Why we only ship the plastic (for now)

A boxed device with a radio inside needs its own FCC authorization before it can be sold — even when the board inside is certified. We haven't paid for that testing yet, so we don't sell it: kits and bundles are shown as the roadmap, printed parts are what ships. You can still build the whole thing today — print or buy the case, buy the board anywhere, and flash it free from your browser. Building your own for personal use is your own project, not a product we sold. The full reasoning, rules cited: compliance doc 29.
