From the beta

Parents are already breathing easier.

I used to check the air once in the morning and hope for the best. Now Canary watches my daughter’s school and tells me when it’s worth changing our plans.
Maya R. — parent of two, Eagle Rock, CA
The alert came before pickup, when the air near school got rough. It gave me one less thing to carry in my head on an already busy day.
Jordan L. — Los Angeles parent
Canary makes the number make sense. I can see whether it’s a normal outdoor day or an inhaler-in-the-backpack day.
