Features & Capabilities

Build your cold habit with guided timers, breathwork, structured programs, and HRV Recovery Scores (Apple Watch optional). Your bench coach for ice & heat.

First Plunge is your personal coach for cold plunge, sauna, and contrast therapy — built for beginners, with guided timers, breathwork, and structured programs.

Works great with or without an Apple Watch: pair one to unlock HRV-based Recovery Scores, or use the full timer and program experience on iPhone alone.

IMPORTANT — HEALTH & SAFETY First Plunge is a wellness and fitness tool, not a medical device, and does not provide medical advice. Cold water immersion and heat exposure carry health risks. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have any medical condition or are pregnant. Never practice cold immersion alone where loss of consciousness could be dangerous. You use the app entirely at your own risk.
