About Contrast: Sauna & Plunge Log
Contrast times your sauna, hot bath and cold plunge rounds — and the rest in between — so you can see exactly how long you spent where, and how your heart responded. WITH AN APPLE WATCH • On an Apple Watch Ultra or Series 10 (any watch with a water temperature sensor), getting into water starts a round on its own. Cold or hot is read from the temperature. • Heart rate for every round, with the average, min and max. • Water temperature live on your wrist, and time in each temperature range. • Water Lock comes on when you get in, so splashes don't tap the screen. • Other Apple Watch models work too: pick each round by hand. • Walk off without tapping End and the session closes itself after a long rest, timed from when you actually stopped. ON YOUR IPHONE • A calendar of your sessions — day, week or month — with each day as a ring split into hot, cold and rest. • Per-session breakdown: rounds, heart rate over the session, water temperature, time in each temperature range, and heart rate zones. Pinch to zoom the charts. • No watch? Time a session on your iPhone as you go, or log a past one: when it started, each round, and the temperatures if you know them. • Hold a session to pick several to archive or combine; swipe to archive one. APPLE HEALTH Every session is saved to Health as a Cooldown workout with its heart rate and water temperatures. Contrast also keeps its own copy of each session on your iPhone, so a workout deleted from Health stays in your history and can be saved back. Nothing leaves your devices or your own iCloud account. Settings and edits sync between your phone and watch through iCloud. ANALYSIS • Sessions and your nights: how your HRV, deep sleep, REM, total sleep, breathing rate, wrist temperature and next-morning resting heart rate compare after a session with your other nights, each against your own usual • Broken down by hot and cold, heat only or cold only, evening sessions, ending on cold, and training days with a session against training alone • How much: whether more minutes of heat or cold go with better nights • When you do it: after waking, after a workout or before bed, on a 24-hour clock, and which workouts come before • Over the months: weekly sessions next to HRV, resting heart rate and VO2 max • How your body is adapting: cold settle and cold shock at the same water temperature, heat strain at the same heat, a heat adaptation estimate, and heart rate by water temperature • Your habit: this week's heat and cold, 12 weeks at a glance, and sauna and hot-bath frequency set against long-term Finnish and Japanese studies Everything is worked out on your iPhone from your Apple Health data. Every metric shows how it's measured, its limits, and how strong the evidence is. They describe your data; they aren't a diagnosis. CONTRAST PRO Free: all watch tracking, every session saved to Apple Health, logging by hand, your last 7 days of history, your weekly sauna, cold and heat next to published research, and an explanation of every metric. Pro: your full history, the heart rate and water temperature charts, time in each temperature range, heart rate zones, sauna temperature, combining or archiving sessions, and the Analysis tab beyond your weekly amounts. Contrast Pro is a yearly subscription (new subscribers pay a reduced price for the first month), a monthly subscription (new subscribers get a 1-week free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices for your region are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

Talk to your doctor before starting cold exposure or sauna use.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated October 13, 2026
On the watch • The app opens to this week's heat and cold as two rings against your weekly goal, with a large Start underneath. • During a session, swipe right for Hot, Cold, Rest and End, where the Workout app keeps its controls. • Temperatures carry a degree sign and heart rates a small heart, so each number says what it is. • The countdown after getting out of the water now starts at 1 minute. Change it in Settings › Watch. • Getting in the water starts the next session from the summary screen too, and when the watch opened Contrast already under water. On iPhone • Achievements: 43 to earn and 1,000 points in all, in the Analysis tab. They count sessions, variety and the weekly amounts the research describes. None asks for colder water or a longer plunge than a published study used. • Choose what a round is in Settings › Watch: each hot or cold, or a hot and a cold together. • The introduction shows how to put Contrast on your Apple Watch and how to set it to open when the watch goes under water.
