Parachute Backup Mobile

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.
