Skydiving altimeter for your Garmin watch

It’s giving altitude 🪂

A barometric backup that reacts the instant you leave the plane – a big AGL readout, automatic zeroing, a DZ arrow, and an automatic jump logbook.

Made for the sky

The altitude a skydiver needs, on the watch you already wear

Consumer altimeters are built to be smooth. Skydiving needs the opposite — a number that reacts the instant you leave the plane.

AltiFenix reads the raw pressure sensor and auto-zeros to the ground, tracking the fall in real time — a live, honest AGL from exit to landing.

Everything on your wrist

Built for the way you actually jump

Every screen below is the real app, running on a fēnix 8.

Large 4.20 km altitude readout, locked, in freefall

The number, big

AGL in the L&B Viso format — kilometers up high, meters down low, switching automatically at 1,000 m. Readable at a glance under stress.

Altitude shown in feet

Meters or feet

Read it your way — the same jump in metric or imperial, set once and forgotten. That 4.20 km reads 13.8 up top, feet all the way down.

Ground screen zeroed to 0

Zeroes itself

No fiddling on the load. AltiFenix finds ground level automatically and holds it — even if you forget to open the app before takeoff.

Drop Zone menu

Auto-DZ by GPS

It picks your drop zone from your location automatically, so every jump is logged under the right DZ name.

Landing offset badge, OFS +300 m, on the readout

DZ offset

Landing area higher or lower than takeoff? Dial in an offset and the readout shows true AGL for the landing area — with a clear OFS badge so you never forget it's on.

Altitude alerts menu

Altitude alerts

Vibration alarms you set per phase — climb, freefall, canopy. A pulse on the wrist at break-off, at your hard deck, wherever you want one.

Jump logbook

Automatic logbook

Every jump logs itself: exit and deployment altitude, freefall time, canopy time, and a running lifetime count — no buttons to press.

Currency screen: last jump, jumps today, this year, and lifetime total

Currency, ready to flash

The exact numbers a manifest desk asks for at registration — jumps today, this year, and lifetime, plus your last-jump date. One button on the ground; no paper logbook to dig through.

Next Jump # entry, set to 2064

Next Jump #

Already have thousands of jumps? Set your next jump number once and the logbook picks up exactly where your paper log left off — your lifetime total stays true from jump one.

Freefall trace graph

Freefall trace graph

Scrub the whole descent after the jump — altitude and vertical speed over time, exit to deployment, right on the watch.

Settings with wingsuit mode

Wingsuit-aware

A dedicated wingsuit mode with its own detection, so a mellow flocking exit still logs as the flight it was — not a missed skydive.

Canopy descent with rate

Descent rate under canopy

Once you’re open, the readout adds your vertical speed — spot a fast spiral or a long spot at a glance on final.

In-air screen with compass bezel, DZ arrow, offset and descent rate

One glance in the air

Where’s home? Which way am I facing?

The in-air screen layers the awareness you want without ever crowding the altitude.

DZ arrow + distance. A pointer to your drop zone, with how far out you are — so you always know where to fly.
Compass bezel. A north-referenced ring around the readout, with live heading.

And the small things that matter

Details you only notice when they save you

Auto input-lockButtons and touch lock themselves the moment you’re airborne, so nothing changes mid-jump. A triple-tap unlocks.
Bright modeA high-visibility readout for a sunlit sky or a night jump.

Not a primary altimeter

AltiFenix is a backup and awareness aid. Always jump a certified visual altimeter, an audible, and an AAD. Barometric readings can lag or be wrong — the responsibility for your dive stays yours.

Why you side-load it

Garmin doesn’t allow skydiving apps in the Connect IQ store, so AltiFenix is installed directly — independent, and answerable only to the jumpers who use it. Setup takes a couple of minutes over USB; the guide walks you through it.

From a skydiver, for skydivers

Built by someone who jumps it

I'm Alex Nemish, a wingsuit pilot. I built AltiFenix because I wanted an honest altitude number on the watch I already wear. It's the app I jump with myself.
