## What is ParaBuddy?

You just had a great flight. ParaBuddy helps you capture it, relive it, and keep it - beautifully.

ParaBuddy is a paragliding flight recorder made for iPhone and Apple Watch. Take off and it records automatically. Land, and your flight comes back to life as a cinematic 3D replay over real terrain.

RECORD EVERY FLIGHT, EFFORTLESSLY
- Automatic takeoff and landing detection, no buttons to fumble with
- GPS track, barometric altitude, climb and sink rate, and ground speed
- Keeps recording in the background, screen off, wrist down

RELIVE IT IN 3D
- Your flight path floats at true altitude over real 3D terrain
- Color-coded by climb, sink, or speed
- Cinematic playback with a moving marker and chase camera
- Altitude and vario charts across the whole flight

FLY FROM YOUR WRIST (APPLE WATCH)
- A true standalone recorder, leave your phone in your harness
- Live altitude, vario, and speed at a glance
- Haptic vario so you can feel lift without looking down
- Flights sync to your iPhone automatically

YOUR FLIGHTBOOK
- Every flight saved with place, stats, and notes
- A beautiful take-off map of everywhere you have flown
- Export GPX and IGC anytime
- Import your existing flights from Wingman

ParaBuddy is made for the joy of flying, not the paperwork. Whether you fly every weekend or you are chasing your first hundred hours, it turns every flight into something you will want to look at again.

Blue skies. See you up there.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-11

Important fix: automatic takeoff detection could miss your launch, so the flight was never recorded. That is fixed - automatic start and automatic landing both work again.

Your Apple Watch now records your heart rate while you fly. See average and peak heart rate for each flight, colour your track by heart rate or by roughness, and follow how your launch heart rate changes across the season. Finished flights are saved to Health as workouts, including the route.

You can now watch a flight from the pilot's point of view: open a flight, tap the map for fullscreen, and set the camera to first person.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-30

You can now support ParaBuddy with an optional tip - there is still no subscription and no ads, and a tip unlocks nothing. We also fixed a bug that could clear your name, country and gear from your profile, made flight downloads much faster, and flight dates now read in your own language.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-30

Airspaces and obstacles are now on the map for route planning, in Explore and while flying, with a new Layers button and a satellite or terrain switch. In Switzerland we also show cableways and power lines. Plus more accurate flight altitude and smoother, faster maps.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-23

No release notes.
