Frequently Asked Questions

ChillLog is built specifically for cold therapy practitioners who want protocol-based accountability, not just a timer. Unlike general wellness apps, ChillLog combines guided Wim Hof and beginner ramp protocols with streak tracking so you stay consistent. It is the only cold plunge tracker designed around session structure and habit formation.

ChillLog has a free tier that includes 3 sessions per week, a basic timer, and one preset protocol. A 7-day free trial of Pro is included at signup. Pro unlocks unlimited sessions, all protocol templates, streak protection, and custom reminders for $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

Yes. ChillLog includes a pre-built Wim Hof protocol template alongside a beginner ramp from 2 to 5 minutes and fully custom protocols you can configure yourself. It is the only cold plunge app that guides you through your session step by step rather than just running a stopwatch.

No. ChillLog stores all session data locally on your device using an offline-first database, so your logs are always available and never depend on a server. You can export your full history at any time. The apps users have complained about losing data were built without local storage — ChillLog was designed specifically to avoid that failure.

ChillLog tracks your daily and weekly cold plunge streaks automatically after each logged session. You can set custom push reminders to keep your schedule on track. Pro users get streak protection, which allows one missed day without breaking the streak so a single off-day does not erase weeks of momentum.

Tap once to start the session timer, then tap again when you are done. You can log water temperature, location, and optional notes before saving. The entire logging flow is designed to work while you are cold and wet, with no friction between finishing your plunge and recording it.

GoPolar is basic and lacks protocol templates. UltraPlunge is hardware-focused with a steep learning curve. Other options either lose data or offer nothing beyond a stopwatch. ChillLog combines simple onboarding, guided protocols, streak accountability, and data export in one clean app — no hardware required, no complicated setup.

Yes. ChillLog is fully offline-first. All session data is stored locally on your device and the app does not require an internet connection to log sessions, view history, or track streaks. A connection is only needed for waitlist signup and referral features.

Yes. In addition to pre-built Wim Hof and beginner ramp protocols, ChillLog Pro lets you create fully custom protocols with your own duration targets and progression rules. Custom protocols are available immediately after upgrading to Pro.

Yes. ChillLog lets you export your full session history at any time. This is a direct response to the most common complaint about existing cold therapy apps — the inability to get your own data out. Your logs belong to you, and you can export them whenever you want.

Yes. ChillLog logs any cold exposure session regardless of method — cold shower, ice bath, cold plunge tub, or open water. You can note the water temperature and session type in the optional fields on each log entry. All session types count toward your streaks.

Streak protection is a Pro feature that prevents one missed day from resetting your cold plunge streak. If you miss a single session, your streak stays intact. It does not allow multiple consecutive misses — it is designed for real life, not as an excuse to skip consistently.

ChillLog uses three mechanisms to build the habit: guided protocol templates that tell you exactly how long to stay in, streak tracking that makes consistency visible over time, and customizable push reminders that prompt you before you talk yourself out of it. Community data suggests the majority of cold therapy beginners quit in the first month — ChillLog is designed to close that gap.

ChillLog is launching iOS-first. Android availability has not been confirmed for the initial release. You can join the waitlist to be notified when ChillLog launches and to indicate your platform preference.

ChillLog stores your session logs locally on your device — water temperature, duration, notes, and location if you choose to add it. This data is never sold to third parties. The privacy policy is published on the Verto Studios website, and you can delete your data at any time from within the app.
