MEET PIP. CURRENTLY EXCLUSIVE TO IPHONE DUO Intelly 8.0 introduces Pip, an expressive shower companion. On iPhone Duo, Pip fills the session view while your active time and estimated liters stay in sight. Pip and your shower essentials share a focused view designed for iPhone Duo. Pip takes a look at the time, rests during pauses and celebrates a saved Green shower. Know your shower time. Understand your water use. Make your next shower a little more mindful. Intelly helps you track showers, review estimated water use and work toward weekly Green goals. Start a session on your iPhone, and on-device sound recognition listens for running water to guide the timer and automatic pauses. YOUR SHOWER, AT A GLANCE Follow your session time, estimated liters and Green status in a clear, focused view. Review saved showers in your history and calendar, then explore statistics by period to see how your habits change. A LITTLE HELP FROM SIRI Start, pause, resume, stop and save your shower session with Siri. Ask to see your water use, open your history or suggest a weekly goal. Find supported phrases in Settings, in English and Italian. Try: “Start a shower with Intelly.” PLAN A GREEN WEEK Aim to keep each recorded shower under 9 minutes, Intelly's Green threshold. Add an optional weekly water budget or a shorter duration target. Review the criteria before saving and follow your progress from the showers you record. ADVICE YOU CAN ACT ON Choose a topic and a period to get practical guidance alongside your saved statistics. On supported devices and in supported languages, the coach can use Apple Intelligence to personalize advice. Built-in advice remains available when Apple Intelligence is unavailable. FROM YOUR WRIST Use Intelly on Apple Watch to track a shower and review your sessions on iPhone. MADE FOR EVERYDAY CHECK-INS A focused Home, clearer shower details, organized statistics and a weekly calendar help you find the numbers that matter without digging through your history. A few things to know: water use is estimated, not measured by a connected water meter. Green is Intelly's duration-based indicator, not an environmental certification. Intelly controls the tracking session, not your faucet. iPhone sound detection requires microphone permission and an active session. Siri must be enabled and may open or ask you to unlock the app. A week without recorded showers does not count as a completed goal. Start with your next shower.
Cold Shower Timer

Cold Shower Timer turns every cold shower, ice bath or plunge into one clear number: how long it takes your heart rate to settle. The cold hits as a spike. Your Apple Watch shows it live, and the moment your heart rate calms and holds steady, the watch marks it: Settled. Week by week, that moment tends to come sooner. ON YOUR WRIST • Big presets for wet fingers: 1, 2 or 3 minutes, or Next, which adds 15 seconds to your last session • Live heart rate during the cold, with your peak • The Settled moment, marked with its own haptic • Optional breathing haptics (in 4, out 6) and a tick every 30 seconds • Works without your phone, and saves each session to Health as a workout ON YOUR IPHONE • Today: the heart rate curve of your last session with the Settled marker • Your week at a glance: sessions, cold minutes, streak • A phone timer for days without the watch, including contrast shower rounds COLD SHOWER PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Adaptation: your time to Settled week by week, plus patterns such as mornings versus evenings • Full history with water temperature • Custom protocols and contrast shower intervals • Watch complication and Smart Stack card Your sessions stay on your devices. Usage analytics are off unless you turn them on. Cold Shower Timer is a timer and a log, not medical advice. If you have a heart condition, ask your doctor before cold exposure.
