How it works

  1. Set your target cold plunge duration.
  2. Start the timer and follow the staged prompts.
  3. See your current stage as the session progresses.

The method

The target duration is split into stages with prompts along the way, giving you a mental checkpoint instead of just a countdown to zero.

FAQ

What are the staged prompts for?

Cold exposure sessions often get harder to sit through as time passes, so staged prompts (like at the 1-minute and 2-minute marks) help you pace and mentally check in without watching the clock constantly.

What target durations are typical?

Many people start around 1-3 minutes and build up over time — always follow guidance appropriate to your own experience and health.

Is this a substitute for medical advice?

No — this is a pacing timer only. Cold exposure carries real risks; consult a doctor before starting if you have any cardiovascular or health concerns.
