Emergencies happen. It’s a fact of life. And even though you can’t control when they happen, you can control how prepared you are. When the time comes for help, you don’t want something that’s “good enough”. You want the best tool you can get. Meet Parachute
Parachute lets you broadcast your video, audio and location to your friends and loved ones in the event of an emergency

What’s New
Version 4.46
‣ Parachute is now ready for iOS 16!
----- Recent Updates (parachute.live/new) -----
Introducing Superlock
‣ Superlock locks down Parachute during an emergency, so an unauthorized person who grabs your phone will not be able to stop the recording
‣ Parachute is, once again, the first in the world to offer this advanced and powerful feature
‣ Superlock is for people who use Parachute in situations where there is risk of their phone being taken away from them by an attacker, police officer or other unauthorized person
‣ Superlock keeps your phone locked while continuing to record and live-stream your video, audio and location undisrupted
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/superlock
Parachute would like to acknowledge Daniel for their assistance with Superlock
Introducing Checkup
‣ Checkup is a powerful new Parachute add-on that checks up on you every 12 hours and alerts your friends and loved ones if you don’t mark yourself safe
‣ Your friends and loved ones receive life-saving information, like your last known location and your emergency notes
‣ With Checkup turned on, every time you launch Parachute it automatically marks you safe and saves a breadcrumb with your location
‣ Location breadcrumbs are a privacy-preserving way to keep a life-saving location trail that helps others retrace your steps, but, unlike apps designed to share your location 24x7, Parachute only shares this location trail if you miss your checkup
‣ Checkup keeps a rolling trail of your location breadcrumbs for the past 10 days, while deleting any older breadcrumbs
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/checkup
Introducing Multi-Camera Video: A World First for iOS
‣ Capture video from both the front and back cameras simultaneously with the Multi-Camera add-on
‣ The Multi-Camera add-on is open to all Parachute members running iOS 13.0 or newer on iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/multi-camera
Introducing Parachute Micro at just US$2.99/year
We are always working to make Parachute more accessible to everyone around the world. We are excited to introduce our newest and most affordable membership ever, Parachute Micro Yearly, designed for light use. With Parachute Micro Yearly, you can activate Parachute up to 3 times a year, with up to 10 emergency alerts per incident
Ultra Wide Camera
‣ Parachute now uses the ultra wide camera on the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, so you can capture even more of the scene on video. This expands the camera’s field of view to 120 degrees, revealing parts of the scene that would have been off camera with the standard wide camera
Get Notified
‣ You now have the option to receive a push notification when your early access request is approved
‣ Just tap on the add-on you would like to request early access for and then choose to get a push notification when you have been approved
‣ We will be launching many new features in the coming months, so this is the best way to stay in the loop

Ratings and Reviews
A must have!
My son found this for me since I am alone a lot and I have a non-epileptic seizure disorder due to a brain condition. I used to use an SOS app which was useful for what I needed at the time, however it had quite a delay. This app however my son said, from the time I hit the button and the app notified my emergency contacts and my daughter got to me was only 34 seconds!
From someone who deals with regular seizures the rapid response time of this app is highly appreciated! Definitely a must have for not just loved ones who may be left alone but this would really come in incredibly helpful in any emergency situation, and is definitely worth the $9.99 a month for the unlimited for me!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for being with me on all those runs when I was trying to become a better Cross-country runner out on those city trails. Cool that you kept the loyal day one’s on this update to 4.0 instead of booting them. I can keep going solo, even now I’m just doing runs for fun.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for your kind words!! And for being an early user of Parachute! Best wishes from New York!
False alerts
I had two false alarms.
I thought 12 to 18 hours was enough time to check in on the app.
First false alarm, I guess I forgot to check in or it’s faulty because I couldn’t believe I forgot to check in since I’m always on the phone, I could have sworn I did check in… oh well.
Second time was an accident but I’m not sure how since the phone was in my pocket and parachute was activated and recording. You need a long press to activate it and I know I definitely did not long press it since I was working with my hands at the moment.
I love the idea but not if these false alarms keep happening no one will take it seriously if I’m ever in real danger.
