Shiver - Cold Showers

Shiver turns cold showers into a graduated challenge instead of a dare. Start warm, ease into a cold finish that grows a little every day, and build a streak — all timed hands-free by a huge, eyes-closed-friendly in-shower clock. No ice bath, no chest freezer, just your own shower. HOW IT WORKS Pick a plan and Shiver tells you exactly what to do that day: how long to stay warm, how long to finish cold, and when each phase changes — announced with haptics and a chime so you never have to open your eyes or step out of the spray to check a clock. SIX GRADUATED PLANS - 14-Day Starter (free) — the beginner ramp: a cold finish that grows from 15 seconds to 90 over two weeks - 30-Day Full Cold — the warm-up shrinks away while the cold grows to a full 4 minutes, fully cold by day 13 - Contrast Protocol — 14 days of hot/cold intervals, always ending cold - 11-Minute Week — four sessions a week totalling 11 cold minutes, with rest days built in - 90-Day Ice Ladder — a slow three-month climb from 30 seconds to 5 minutes of cold, with a weekly rest day through week 12 - The Reset — a 7-day comeback ramp for after a broken streak, from 15 seconds back to 2 fully cold minutes SAFETY FIRST Cold exposure is a real physiological stressor, not a stunt. Before your first session Shiver walks you through the cold-shock response, the conditions worth checking with a doctor about first, and the signs that mean stop right away — written in plain language, never buried, always one tap away in Settings. Shiver only ever measures you against your own past sessions, never against anyone else. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED A completed session logs itself — duration, cold time, and plan day — then you add how it felt: mood before and after, and a 1-to-5 snowflake cold rating. Watch it build into a streak and a calendar heatmap. FIND YOUR RHYTHM Daily is never required. Choose 2 to 6 session days a week alongside your daily streak. Rest Mode holds your place when you need a break, and the weekly safety skip stays available. Rest days never add session credit. TIME THAT FITS YOUR SHOWER Choose a short get-ready countdown before the first phase. Optional post-target timing records extra elapsed time in your log only. It never earns streaks, badges or plan credit. Longer is not better; stop whenever you need to. EARN BADGES Eighteen achievement badges for showing up — streaks, sessions, cold minutes, plan milestones. Always visible, so every badge is a goal, never a secret. BACK UP YOUR PROGRESS Everyone can manually save and restore a plaintext JSON backup of sessions, notes, plans, presets and selected settings to a destination they choose.

If you have any concern about whether cold exposure is safe for you, talk to a healthcare professional first.
