Why Sauna

Built around your work.

General
Beyond building apps
Sauna isn't a code platform. It researches, drafts, files, and follows up across your work — the tasks that aren't a deployable app.
Memory
It remembers your work
Your projects, people, and decisions, kept across sessions, not scoped to a single build.
Everywhere
Every surface
Web, iMessage, Slack, email, and Superhuman, shared with your team.

In context

It knows your work, and acts on it.

Sauna remembers your projects and the people in them, connects to the tools your team runs, and finishes the task — across the web app, Slack, email, iMessage, and Superhuman.

Questions, answered.

Can Sauna build an app like Replit Agent?

Sauna can write and run code and open pull requests, but it isn't a one-click build-and-host platform. For spinning up and deploying an app, Replit Agent is purpose-built; Sauna is the coworker for everything around it.

What does Sauna do that an app-builder doesn't?

It remembers your work, connects to your real tools, and acts across Slack, email, iMessage, and the web — the ongoing work of your job, not a single app.
