A box breathing & 4-7-8 timer that respects your time and privacy. Use guided techniques for calm, better sleep, stress relief, and focus—with a haptic breath pacer, smart reminders, custom routines, and optional Apple Health integration. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR EVERY MOMENT Each pattern includes a clear explanation of why it works and when to use it: • Box Breathing — focus and grounding using the tactical breathing rhythm practiced by first responders and athletes • 4-7-8 Relaxation — a long-exhale technique to help you fall asleep and unwind after a difficult day • Deep Calm — a 4-2-6 mental reset for anxious moments and quick pauses • Coherent Breathing — a balanced 5-in, 5-out rhythm for everyday practice • Extended Exhale — a longer exhale designed to ease anxiety, panic, and stress loops • Resonance Breathing — a precise pace within the HRV biofeedback range • More patterns for sleep, energy, relaxation, and deep focus A HAPTIC BREATH PACER A single animated breathing ring guides each inhale, hold, and exhale. Close your eyes and follow voice cues or gentle haptic taps. Breo keeps your screen awake during sessions. Pause, resume, end, or extend your session whenever you need. YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR WAY • Save your favorite patterns for quick access • Set reminders for weekdays, weekends, or any combination • Create custom breathing patterns with your own timings • See your recent practice and total minutes of calm • Optionally save completed sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes PRIVACY FIRST Your practice history is stored locally on your device. Breo doesn’t collect analytics, usage data, or breathing history, and it works without an account. If you choose to connect Apple Health, Breo requests write-only access to save completed breathing sessions as Mindful Minutes. Breo does not read your other Health data. UNLOCK MORE The free version includes core patterns with full functionality. Upgrade once—no subscription or recurring fees—to unlock more breathing patterns, the custom pattern builder, and deeper session customization.
Cold Plunge

Cold plunges only work when you actually keep doing them. Cold Plunge Tracker turns a scattered habit into a streak you can see, time, and build on — one dip at a time. Fully offline and no account needed, whether you plunge in a tub, an ice bath, a chest freezer, a cold shower, or at the lake with no signal. Motivation fades. A visible streak doesn't. This is a practice tracker for the cold-exposure routine you already do — or want to start — built on one idea: consistency beats intensity. You get a timer for the moment you're in the water, a fast log for the second you climb out, and a streak that quietly pulls you back tomorrow. It logs what you did. It does not diagnose, treat, or promise any health outcome, and it is not medical advice. TIME YOUR PLUNGE • Count-up and count-down timer with audio and haptic cues, so you never have to watch the screen • Big, glanceable display you can read through shivers and steam • On-screen safety reminders while the timer runs LOG EVERY SESSION IN SECONDS • Record water temperature (°C or °F), duration, and how it felt on a simple 1–5 scale • Pick your method: cold shower, ice bath or tub, open water and lake, or cryo • Tag sauna and breathwork done in the same session • Add optional notes on conditions, setup, and how you recovered • Unlimited entries, stored on your device — yours, private, and offline BUILD THE STREAK • Current and longest streak, up front • Milestone badges — first plunge, 3-day, 7-day, 14-day and 30-day streaks, plus volume goals like 10, 50, and 100 dips and 60 cold-minutes • Running totals for dips and cold-minutes • A gentle, no-pressure nudge if a streak lapses — every plunge counts, and the next one restarts the momentum FOLLOW A STRUCTURED PROTOCOL • Free starter ladders: a beginner contrast-shower ramp and a standard 2-minute plunge • Every protocol is planned week by week and leads warm and short, never with aggressive targets • Track which week you're on and log directly against it COLD PLUNGE PRO Upgrade when you want deeper structure, history, and insight: • AI protocol generator — answer a few questions for a personalized, conservative temperature-and-duration plan that adapts and re-progresses from your own logs • Full protocol library — contrast-shower onboarding, morning alertness, post-workout timing, progressive tolerance blocks, breath-then-dip, sauna-and-ice rounds, and an advanced ice block • Progression insights — temperature trend, duration trend, weekly cold-minutes chart, and a consistency heatmap that shows your habit at a glance • Sauna and breathwork companion logging surfaced in your history • Export your full log • No ads Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your store account settings. The free timer, unlimited log, streak, and starter protocols stay fully usable without Pro. A NOTE ON SAFETY — PLEASE READ Cold exposure carries real risks, including the cold-shock response, cardiac stress, and hypothermia. Cold Plunge Tracker is a practice-tracking tool, not medical advice. Consult a physician before starting cold exposure — especially if you have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, are pregnant, or have any circulatory or respiratory condition. Start warm, progress slowly, and get out if you feel dizzy, numb, or short of breath. Never plunge alone in open water. Your sessions, protocols, and settings live on your device. The optional AI generator sends only your short intake to build a plan — never your session log. Time the dip. Build the streak. Progress the ladder. — Privacy Policy: https://coddykit.com/terms/privacy-policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
