From install to first jump.

1. First setup on iPhone

1. Install BreakOff from the App Store on your iPhone.
2. Open the Watch app on iPhone and confirm BreakOff is installed on your Apple Watch.
3. Open BreakOff on iPhone and complete onboarding.
4. Choose feet or metres, then enter your existing jump count so future numbering starts correctly.
5. Review the safety disclaimer. BreakOff must not be used as altitude-awareness equipment.
6. Grant permissions for the features you want to use: location, motion/fitness, notifications, Health, Photos and iCloud where applicable.
7. Try BreakOff Pro free for 1 week if you want to test the full Pro workflow. Subscriptions and cancellation are managed through Apple.

2. Add gear and gear counts

1. Go to the Gear area on iPhone.
2. Select Own Gear if you want BreakOff to track your rig and component jump counts. Use Rental when you are not jumping your own setup.
3. Add your main canopy, container, reserve and AAD.
4. Enter useful details such as reserve repack date, AAD service date, current lineset, canopy size and existing jumps on each component.
5. Mark the gear you are currently jumping as active.
6. Before saving a tracked or manual jump, review the gear used. BreakOff uses the saved gear context to keep component counts useful.
7. If a gear item is deleted or changed, confirm the active rig still reflects what you are actually jumping.

3. Your first Watch-tracked jump

1. Charge your Apple Watch and wear it securely before gearing up.
2. Open BreakOff on Apple Watch before boarding or on the ride to altitude.
3. Tap Jump or use the Arm Jump complication if you have added it to your watch face.
4. Wait for the altimeter readiness check. Do not force the jump flow if the Watch reports unavailable or stale sensor data.
5. Confirm or adjust break-off and deployment settings before exit if needed.
6. You can leave your iPhone behind for the whole jump.
7. During the skydive, use your certified altimeter, audible, AAD, training and normal procedures for safety-critical decisions.
8. After landing, review the Watch summary and let the jump sync back to iPhone.

4. Review the logbook after landing

1. Open BreakOff on iPhone after the Watch has had time to sync.
2. Open the new jump entry and review exit altitude, deployment altitude, freefall time, canopy time, GPS track and altitude profile where available.
3. Add jump type, dropzone, aircraft, group size, notes and linked video/photo context.
4. Confirm gear used before saving final changes, especially if you changed rigs during the day.
5. Use share cards, PDF or CSV export when you want a record outside the app.
6. If a value looks wrong, edit the logbook entry after landing rather than trying to correct anything during the skydive.

5. Backup, restore and export

• Keep iCloud enabled if you want Apple-account-based sync, backup and restore support.
• Use BreakOff backup tools before changing devices or deleting/reinstalling the app.
• Use PDF export for readable logbook records and CSV export for spreadsheet-style review.
• Keep your own external backup of important skydiving records. BreakOff helps, but you should still own your records.

6. Quick troubleshooting

• Watch jump did not appear on iPhone: keep iPhone and Watch near each other, open BreakOff on both, and give WatchConnectivity time to transfer.
• Location or map missing: check location permission and Apple Watch location availability.
• Photos save fails: check Photos permission, especially add-only access.
• Subscription not active: use Restore Purchases and confirm the Apple ID used for the purchase.
• Gear counts look wrong: review the gear attached to the jump and adjust the component's existing count if needed.
• Something still feels off: send a support request with app version, iPhone model, Watch model, iOS/watchOS versions and what happened.
