Free cold plunge timer online
A dead-simple countdown for cold-plunge and cold-shower protocols. Set 1, 2, or 3 minutes, tap Start, and let the loud alarm tell you when to get out. Tickline uses an end-timestamp so the seconds don't slip while your brain is busy managing the cold shock.
Frequently asked questions
How long should I stay in a cold plunge?
Most protocols recommend 1–3 minutes at 10–15°C (50–59°F). Beginners often start at 30–60 seconds and build up.
Does the timer need to be accurate?
Yes — that's why Tickline anchors to a real end-timestamp. Even with wet hands and a fogged screen, the alarm hits at the right second.
Can I set a longer session for a cold shower?
Yes. Enter any duration; 2–3 minutes works for a controlled cold shower, 30–90 seconds for a contrast rinse.
