Good app, minor issues
App isn’t showing photo count or size uploaded. Always states zero even though photos are uploading.
Description
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.

Parachute Backup Mobile Reviews
Great App, just needs some tweaks.
App is great, straight forward and easy to use. However, there are a couple of bugs I noticed. 1. The progress bar does not progress when locked or in the dynamic view, the % just stays the same unless you open the app. 2. If i close the app completely, it does not keep the last backup results.
Backup beast
Nice app for performing photos backups. I had used Photosync previously and it was a lot more expensive (monthly subscription). This was a single few dollars and it works and looks great.
Fantastic option for backups
If you are looking for an easy backup solution, this is it. Great design and simple to use.
Good, but…
Overall I think it’s a good app, but right now as someone backing up to usb at least it doesn’t tell me how big the backup will be. So hard to know how large a drive I need to attach
its not working
do not buy this app it doesn’t work at all
Not sure what you’re waiting for…
…you should absolutely download this app. My strategy for backing up my iOS photos and files was haphazard at best. This takes out the guess work. You should pay the Mann (get it?), spend the $4, and download the app.
Exceptional!!
Does exactly what it says it does. No more no less. Straight forward and easy setup for backup to an unRAID share. Highly recommended for those of us that self host.
Great App
Super easy to use, great price and customizable for just about everything you can imagine. Great App!!!!
Simple, Secure and Reliable
I’ve been really enjoying Parachute Backup. The app is super easy to use and the interface feels clean and straightforward, without any unnecessary clutter. It’s also great to see that the developer actually cares about privacy, which is rare these days. Updates come regularly with useful new features, and the developer is clearly active and engaged.
