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 By downloading Parachute Backup, you agree to Apple's Terms of Use (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) and our Privacy Policy (https://parachuteapps.com/privacy).

Ever opened a Reddit link from a search result and found it in a language you never asked for? Reddit sometimes applies automatic language settings to pages — and Original Post stops it. Enable the extension once in Safari, and Reddit stays in whatever language you actually want. -- See Reddit in its original language -- The default mode strips automatic language settings from Reddit links before the page loads. No more German threads when you searched in English. No more Spanish results when you're browsing in French. Reddit shows you content the way it was written. -- Or pick the language you want -- Prefer to read Reddit in a specific language? Set it once in the app and the extension enforces it on every visit — automatically, without you having to do anything else. Keep in mind: not every Reddit post or community supports every language. If you've set a preferred language and a particular post doesn't support it, Reddit will fall back to its original language. That's Reddit's own behavior — but it's good to know so it doesn't catch you off guard. -- Private by design -- Original Post never reads your Reddit content, never sends data anywhere, and requires no account or login. It works entirely within Safari on your device. Download it free and take back control of how Reddit looks in your browser.
