IcePlunge timer screen, weekly minutes chart and sessions log

How it works

1

Pick a duration and start

Tap a preset (30s, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m) or set your own. Pick the exposure type — cold shower, ice bath, cryo, cold-water swim, or post-sauna contrast. Start the dial.

2

Rate how it felt after

Once you're warm and dry, rate your mood and energy on a 1-5 scale. Optionally snap a photo of your thermometer or tub setup. Skip the bits you don't care about.

3

Watch the weekly chart fill

Your week's minutes show against the Søberg 11-minute target line. Trends show mood, energy, and the longest retention hold from breathing practice over time.

Features

Circular countdown timer

Big, distraction-free dial with preset durations and custom support. Vibrates and chimes when you hit your target. Keep going past it if you want.

Five exposure types

Cold Shower, Ice Bath, Cryo, Cold-Water Swim / Open Water, and Post-Sauna Contrast. Each session logs with the right context.

Weekly-minutes target chart

Your week against the research-backed 11-minute target line. Tap into Stats for daily minutes, mood and energy trends, and your longest retention hold.

Dry-land breathing prep

Optional 3-round breathing practice with paced breaths, a retention-hold timer ("longest hold" is a badge of honour), and a recovery inhale. Persistent "DO NOT do this in or near water" reminder on every screen.

Optional water-temp logging

°C or °F per session. Toggle in Settings. We never make you fill it in if you don't want to.

Mood + energy + sleep capture

Rate how you felt after on a 1-5 scale. We schedule a gentle next-morning prompt for sleep quality so you can see how cold sessions correlate with sleep over time.

Photo timeline

Snap your thermometer reading or your tub setup, not a selfie. Builds into a chronological grid over months and years.

Streak + lifetime stats

Daily streak with DST-safe local-day boundaries. Total cold-exposure minutes lifetime. Weeks you hit the Søberg target in the last 12.

Reminders default off

No nagging. If you want a daily reminder, you pick the time and we ask for notification permission then — not on first launch.

Medical-conditions gate

Onboarding flags cardiovascular, blood-pressure, circulation, thyroid, epilepsy and pregnancy conditions, and requires a "yes, I've consulted a doctor" affirmation before continuing.

All data on your device

Sessions, photos, ratings, streak — everything stays local. The app talks to the network only for ads (free tier), in-app purchases, and anonymous crash reports.

Android-first, offline-first

Designed for the phone in your hand. Works without an account, without a login, without an internet connection during a plunge.

Pricing

Try every feature for 14 days with no card. After that, pick what fits. Your past sessions, photos and streak stay available regardless of tier — only NEW entries above the free cap require Pro.
