Estimated revenue
A model estimate with a likely range, not a reported figure.
No estimate. Apps outside the grossing charts, and some countries, have no reliable rank-to-revenue curve, so we show nothing rather than a guess.
How this estimate is made
Rank: we take the app's best Top Grossing rank on the latest chart day. Category ranks are converted into an equivalent overall rank, because a #10 in Finance earns far less than a #10 overall.
Curve: that equivalent rank is read off a rank-to-revenue curve anchored on public company revenue and market-data reports for the US iPhone App Store.
Country: the curve is scaled per country (Japan is roughly a third of the US, Türkiye under 1%). Where we have no scale, such as China, there is no estimate.
Range: the likely range widens with country, category and chart depth. It is a plausible span, not a statistical confidence interval.
Not included: ads, payments outside the App Store, and any difference between gross sales and what the developer keeps. Low confidence means indirect data; medium means several independent sources agree.

Parachute is your backup companion for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up your memories — photos, videos, and documents — to storage you control, whether that’s an external drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 Buckets, network drives/NAS, external hard drives and more. With Parachute, you get peace of mind and full ownership of your data, free from lock-in.
Your Data, Your Way
- Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive.
- Preserve originals in full resolution, all adjustment data, and the current edited versions.
- Works with USB drives, NAS/SMB/SFTP mounts, Google Drive, S3 Buckets, OneDrive, external hard drives and more
Key Features
- Backups can be triggered from the main screen to any of your backup destinations
- Automate backups with Shortcuts integration and Schedules
- Privacy-first: transfers handled via Apple’s Files extensions — your credentials never touch our app.
- Supports full-quality media: Live Photos + videos, RAW images, bursts, edits, and slow motion.
Why It Matters
- iCloud sync ≠ backup — deletions, expired storage, or sync errors can mean permanent loss.
- Parachute safeguards your digital life from accidents and disasters.
- Your files are stored in normal folders you can browse and restore from directly — no special tools needed.
One time purchase. No Lock-In.
- One-time purchase unlocks all backup functionality — no recurring fees.
- Your data stays in your storage, not ours.
- No accounts, no telemetry, no background bloat.
FAQ Highlights
Q: Does Parachute ever delete files from iCloud?
A: Never. It’s strictly read-only.
Q: Can I restore without Parachute?
A: Yes. Backups are just normal folders — copy them back with Finder anytime.
Q: What if a file is corrupted in iCloud?
A: Parachute flags any unexportable items so you know exactly what couldn’t be saved.
Q: Can it back up non-iCloud folders?
A: Yes. Add any folder via the iOS/iPadOS file picker

What’s new
Release notes for the latest version, as written by the developer.
- Files with custom access permissions are no longer left out of backups. Their copies in the Destination do not keep these custom permissions, so later backups can still update them.
- Fixed a crash when an S3 endpoint contained spaces or line breaks, for example after pasting it.
