Hot Bath Heart Rate Recovery
MaxRecovery Timer is your Apple Watch + iPhone companion for hot-bath wellness, turning the quiet "afterglow" into visible heart-rate data with HRR-based scoring.
■ Choose your hot phase
- Warming room (ondol) — default
- Hot spring (onsen)
- Hot bath / hot tub / jacuzzi
- Hot yoga
- Infrared sauna
- Mild steam bath
- Sauna
- Other / Custom
Each has its own timer presets.
■ Two-phase or three-phase
Default: Hot phase → Rest. Want a brisker reset? Enable the three-phase flow in Settings: Hot phase → Cool-Down → Rest. Cool-Down is your choice — a quick shower, fan, or any short cooling pause. Optional Warm-up and Extra phases can be added inside a set.
■ Hands-free on Apple Watch
Advance phases with Double Tap (Series 9 / Ultra 2+), Digital Crown, or screen tap — even with wet hands. Simple Mode runs continuously, auto-detecting sets from HR peaks.
■ Afterglow Score (HRR-based)
A 0–100 score for how quickly your parasympathetic system reactivates, using heart-rate recovery at 1, 3, and 5 minutes (HRR1 / HRR3 / HRR5) — a well-established marker of autonomic recovery. Per-set HRR is also shown.
■ Flow Quality Score
A 0–100 score from heart-rate spikes during transitions — find the calm days worth repeating.
■ Sleep Score (reference)
A reference value this app computes from three factors in your Apple Health sleep data: duration, bedtime, and interruptions. It is separate from Apple's own Sleep Score.
■ Interactive heart-rate chart
Tap for instant values, pinch to 20×, double-tap to reset. Overlay 60-second and 10-minute moving averages. A toggle hides Warm-up and re-baselines to hot-phase entry.
■ History · Analysis · Venue Map
Drill into past sessions and trends. The Venue Map gathers facilities you've visited and suggests candidates within 500 m via Apple Maps.
■ Plank training (optional add-on)
Enable in Settings → Add-ons. Countdown Mode (1–30 min) fires haptics at goal, then counts bonus time. Count-up runs from 0:00. With MaxRecovery open on Apple Watch, HR streams live via HKWorkoutSession (.coreTraining). Saves to Apple Health as Core Training.
■ Your data stays with you
iCloud sync is included for everyone, Premium or not. Sessions also write to Apple Health as workouts.

■ Important
Not a medical device. All scores and HR values are reference only — not for diagnosis or treatment. Use hot baths at your own risk; consult a physician if you have health concerns. Avoid dehydration, dizziness, and heat-related illness.
