Founder story

Built by a Skydiver.

BreakOff did not start as a business plan. It started as one simple question: could the Apple Watch pressure sensor capture useful altitude data during a skydive?

Where it started

A pressure sensor became an idea.

I’m Anubhav Sethi, the skydiver behind BreakOff. I started skydiving in October 2023, and I’m now a C-licence skydiver with 600+ jumps and a coach rating.

At first, BreakOff was just curiosity: does the Apple Watch have a pressure sensor that can actually track altitude? Once I started thinking about it properly, the question became much bigger.

What would a skydiver actually want from an app before, during and after a jump day?

Designed around the way skydivers actually jump.

The idea grew from altitude tracking into something more useful: a watch-first jump tracker, automatic logbook, gear reminders and a cleaner way to review your skydiving progression.

BreakOff is not trying to replace your altimeter, audible, AAD, training or judgement. It is a companion app for logging, reviewing and understanding your jumps better.

That safety-first thinking matters to me because skydiving is not just another sport. It is a discipline built on checks, habits, currency and progression.

Training culture

The mindset comes from more than skydiving.

I’m also a PADI Staff Instructor, so structured training, checklists, safety culture and progression have been part of how I think for a long time.

That background shaped the way I look at BreakOff. The app should feel simple on a busy jump day, but still capture the kind of information that helps a skydiver improve over time.

Data and progression

Built with an endurance mindset.

I’m also an endurance cyclist, and that has probably influenced BreakOff more than I first realised.

Cycling teaches you that data is useful only when it helps you make better decisions. BreakOff is being built with the same idea: not more noise, just better jump records, cleaner review and useful progression over time.
