An average of what you logged
The Hot and Cold screen reading fifty degrees today with a thermometer beside it, a line of temperature exposure across the last fortnight, and a history alternating between saunas around ninety degrees and cold plunges around ten.
Ninety degrees at ten past six, ten degrees at twenty to seven.

How it works

  1. Both ends of the scale

    A sauna at ninety and the plunge after it at ten share a list on the same evening, half an hour apart.

  2. What it averages out to

    Forty nine degrees across five logged days, best at fifty one. Averaging a sauna and an ice bath gives you a strange number, and an honest one.

  3. Timestamped

    Each entry keeps its time, which is the only thing that puts a sauna and the plunge that followed it in the right order.

Asked about Hot & Cold

What is the Hot & Cold module in Cadence?

Both ends of the thermometer, logged by temperature and time. A sauna at ninety and the plunge after it at ten share a list on the same evening, half an hour apart.

Can I switch Hot & Cold off?

Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Hot & Cold, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.

Does Hot & Cold sync between the Mac and the iPhone?

Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Hot & Cold keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.

Keep Hot & Cold. Ignore the other twenty five.
