Your jump. Your record. Your progression. Record on Apple Watch or the free BreakOff app for supported Garmin watches. Keep one logbook and debrief on iPhone or Mac. RECORD FROM YOUR WRIST Arm Apple Watch before boarding. BreakOff detects climb, freefall, canopy and landing, retaining altitude, timing, GPS and heart rate where available. It syncs to iPhone; the phone can stay on the ground. Garmin transfer is manual: export original FITs from Garmin Connect, then import up to six through Logbook +. Saving imports requires Logbook or Pro; full analysis requires Pro. There is no automatic Garmin cloud transfer. DEBRIEF WITH PRO Explore Overview, Freefall, Opening, Canopy and Landing. Link altitude, horizontal/vertical and supported combined speed, ground glide, descent angle, direction, turns and recorded heart rate. Review opening timing, height loss and supported Watch wrist-motion evidence. Inspect intervals or review flight markers while preserving the original recording. Pink spans are display-only estimates; unsupported readings stay unavailable. Replay paths in 3D and overhead/side views, adjust playback, and distinguish recorded from labelled smoothed views. Compare two to four exact jumps by phase, source and canopy. Link local video; files are not automatically copied between devices. YOUR LOGBOOK AND GEAR Search/filter, add manual entries, correct summaries, record aircraft/gear and export PDF/CSV. Individual/group QR sign-off does not replace your association or dropzone's verification. With Pro, save multiple named rigs; track main canopies, linesets, containers, reserves and AADs with distinct histories. Gear context and deliberate corrections preserve past uses; unknown history stays unknown. Canopy Passport brings linked jumps, service history and supported trends together. Review Stats, profile/dropzone notes, due dates and optional local reminders. Reminders do not certify currency or equipment condition. Choose a landing target on iPhone for straight-line distance and available direction on Watch. The compass and independent distance units provide context, not a route or safe-return prediction. MAC COMPANION Use Mac for larger linked charts, selected-jump comparison, FIT review and printable logbooks. Mac common-logbook changes go to the updated iPhone for validation and confirmed sync. Public browser access for your published iCloud logbook will be announced at breakoffapp.com. CHOOSE YOUR PLAN Free: newest ten saved/published jumps, basic summaries and supported 2D GPS. Older records remain preserved. Logbook: unlimited history, native manual entries/imports/corrections, QR sign-off, backup/recovery and exports. Pro: Logbook plus supported analysis, comparison, 3D, heart-rate charts, Stats, gear/linesets, Canopy Passport and advanced Watch features. Existing Pro subscribers keep Pro. Monthly/yearly auto-renewable plans apply. Apple shows local prices, trial eligibility and renewal terms before purchase. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. BACKUP AND LIMITS Pending Watch recordings, Recording Inbox originals and linked videos have separate native evidence workflows; a publication is not a full original-evidence backup. Analysis sharing excludes exact coordinates by default; choose location inclusion deliberately. Tracker and logbook only. Not an altimeter or safety device. Sensors/GPS can be incomplete. Always fly your certified instruments and follow training/local procedures.

Swoop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Swoop is a logbook and analysis tool for canopy pilots who fly with a FlySight GPS. Upload your FlySight tracks and Swoop turns raw GPS data into a clear picture of your landing: every jump is split into flight phases, plotted on a satellite map, and charted over time so you can see exactly what happened from turn initiation to the end of your rollout. TRACK LIBRARY • All your jumps in one place, with thumbnails of the flight path • Nickname and number your jumps, and delete the ones you don't need PHASE-BY-PHASE ANALYSIS • Automatic detection of exit, opening, surge, turn and rollout • Key numbers for every swoop: entry gate speed, turn height, rotation, rollout altitude, swoop distance, max speed and max vertical speed • Total, horizontal and vertical speed charted against altitude (AGL) • Scrub through the flight and watch the telemetry update in real time • Sort your library by date, speed, swoop distance or rotation to see how you're progressing MAPS & PONDS • Flight paths drawn on satellite imagery • A shared database of swoop ponds and landing areas, so your track is shown relative to the gates UPLOAD FROM ANYWHERE • Upload FlySight CSV files directly from your phone or the web • Your tracks sync between the app and swoop.loggbok.net PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tracks are visible only to you. No ads, no tracking. Swoop is a post-jump review and training tool. It is not a safety device and must not be used for in-flight decisions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swoop at none against BreakOff's 4. Swoop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). BreakOff's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
