Good to know

Questions, answered.

Does Sauna manage my calendar like Motion?

Sauna can schedule and reschedule by connecting your calendar, but its real job is doing the work, not auto-planning your day. For dedicated AI scheduling and project management, Motion is built for that.

Can Sauna actually do the tasks, not just plan them?

Yes. It researches, drafts, and acts across your tools to finish the work, and anything that writes waits for your approval.

Is my data safe?

Sauna reads only what you connect, and acts only after you approve. Your workspace and its memory are yours, not training data.
