ColdKeeper
The cold-therapy coach that lives in your pocket. Pick a session, tap the giant START button, and ColdKeeper handles the timing, the haptics, the streak and the history — so all you have to do is breathe and stay in.
01 / Who it's for
ColdKeeper is built for people who take cold seriously enough to keep doing it past day three. Wim Hof breathers, contrast-therapy athletes, open-water swimmers, biohackers raised on Huberman and Rogan, and anyone who wants their cold-shower habit to stick. Beginners welcome — the Beginner Ramp is designed for the first four weeks, no ego, no shame.
02 / What's included
Four session types
Ice bath, cold shower, open-water swim, contrast therapy — each with optional water temperature logging and the right defaults so you're not setting up a session in 4 °C water.
Guided protocols
Beginner Ramp— 30 s → 60 s → 2 min over four weeks. The proven on-ramp.
Wim Hof — guided breath rounds plus immersion, timed for you. No more YouTube juggling.
Contrast Therapy — automatic hot/cold alternation, athlete-style recovery.
Custom (Pro) — design your own intervals.
Built for hands you can’t feel
Giant tap targets. Strong haptics. Audio cues that get through a hood and closed eyes. Screen stays awake. No menus, no fiddling, no shrinkage-induced typos when you just want to stop the timer.
Deep history & streaks
Every session logged with date, type, duration, optional temperature. See your streak, total time under the cold, longest plunge, and weekly trend at a glance. The free tier keeps the last 7 days; Pro keeps everything, forever.
03 / ColdKeeper Pro
One-time purchase: $7.99 / 7,99 €. No subscription. No renewal. All future updates included.

04 / Privacy first, by construction
ColdKeeper does not collect data. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash-reporting SDKs, no ads, no accounts. Everything you do stays on your iPhone, or — if you enable Pro and iCloud — in your own private iCloud container, which the developer cannot read.
Read the full privacy policy.
05 / Designed for iOS, end to end
- SwiftUI, built natively for iOS 17+
- SwiftData persistence with CloudKit sync (Pro)
- StoreKit 2 for the in-app purchase

06 / Safety
Cold immersion can be dangerous. ColdKeeper is a wellness and lifestyle app, not a medical device. Consult a physician before starting, especially if you have cardiovascular conditions. Never plunge in open water alone. The app does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.
