Find your app's URL

Canary opens this URL and explores your app like a real user, so it has to be a running deploy that's reachable from the public internet — your production site or a preview/staging deploy. A localhost URL won't work.

Pick your host

Anything else (or your production URL)

Any reachable http(s) URL works — production, staging, or a preview deploy from any host (Render, Railway, AWS, your own server). Paste it into the “URL to scan” field. The one requirement: Canary's scanner reaches it over the public internet, so localhost and VPN-only URLs won't work.

Got your URL? Head back to onboarding and paste it into Point Canary at your app.
