Make the sauna yours. Build your own theme with your own sounds, colors and symbol, and share it with a friend. NEW - Custom themes: give your theme a name and a tip, pick a gradient and a symbol, then add your own ambience and round sounds. iCloud carries it to your iPhone and Apple Watch. - Share a theme: export it as a file and send it to a friend. They open it and it goes straight into their app. - Redesigned widgets: Quick Start begins a sauna or plunge from the Home Screen and counts down live mid-round. This Week keeps your sessions and streak on the Lock Screen. Last Session brings the same ritual back with one tap. - Saunum LEIL heater: connect it over Wi-Fi to see cabin temperature and heater status. Tap Find Heater on Network and the app finds it for you. IMPROVED - New achievement badges, drawn in the style of the app icon. - The 12-week streak now shows how many sessions each week held. - iPhone and Apple Watch stay in step more reliably. If the Watch stops responding during a session, the session screen tells you. - Built for iOS 27.

COLD PLUNGE ON YOUR WATCH, WITH WATER LOCK ON Improved - Cold plunge on Apple Watch now starts with a setup screen. Turn the crown to pick how long you want to hold, tap start, and Water Lock comes on with the timer so a wet screen cannot tap things for you. - The Watch runs the plunge clock itself, so your time stays right when your iPhone is in a locker, and the plunge still saves to your history afterwards. - Cold plunges show up in history where they happened, each with its own water temperature, hold time and heart rate. Two new charts track how often you plunge and how cold the water has been. - Share cards work for sessions that were only a cold plunge, with your coldest water or longest hold as the headline number. Fixed - Finished sessions reach history reliably, and never show up twice.

HEART RATE, LIVE ON YOUR WRIST. A new Apple Watch chart follows your beats through every sauna round and cold plunge, with round stats and a look back at past sessions. New • Heart rate page on Apple Watch: a live chart of the session as it happens, your current stats at a glance, and recent sessions to compare against. Improved • The Watch session screen is cleaner and easier to read mid-round. • Rounds and cold plunges now share one timeline on iPhone, so you can see the whole session in order instead of two separate lists. • Charts mark your cold plunges alongside sauna heat, on iPhone and Watch, with smoother lines that are easier to read. • Ending a session is quicker - a simple confirmation instead of extra taps.

GUIDED RITUALS are here. Pick Finnish Classic or Evening Wind-Down and let the app carry you through every round - gentle chimes, haptics, and hydration cues, completely hands-free. Every ritual you finish is tracked in your history with phase breakdowns, plus new achievements to celebrate your progress. Also in this update: • Redesigned session controls - quick presets and hold-to-repeat steppers for round and plunge times • Start rituals from your Apple Watch or with Siri • Polished share cards, temperature unit consistency, and accessibility improvements
