A premium ritual for real home saunas
This is the sauna app for people with real home saunas. It goes far beyond a sauna timer or sauna tracker.
Built around the flow of a real sauna session
From the first round to long-term streaks, everything stays calm, private, and Apple-native.
Guided rounds with the atmosphere you want
Choose from 17 professionally curated ambient themes or stay in Silent Mode. Gentle audio cues guide each round, cooling break, and finish without turning the session into a noisy workout timer.
Private session history that stays useful
During the round, stay present. Afterward, review time, heart rate, streaks, achievements, and optional Apple Health / Mindful Minutes sync in a private history that stays on your devices.
Apple Home scenes for lights, fans, and climate
Start a session and let Apple Home (HomeKit) dim lights, run fans, and trigger scenes around the sauna. If you use HomeKit climate sensors, live temperature and humidity can appear during the session too.
More than a sauna timer: a logbook for the room itself
Track stove maintenance, stone replacements, wood treatments, and cleaning schedules in one private journal. Know exactly when your sauna last had attention and when it needs it next.
- Log maintenance dates, work done, and notes
- Keep separate records for multiple sauna profiles
- Private streaks and milestones that stay motivating
- Share session cards only when you want to
Keep the phone outside
Start, pause, resume, and end sauna sessions right from your wrist. See heart rate live during every round, and check climate readings from connected HomeKit sensors without walking out.
- Full session control from Apple Watch
- Live heart rate and round progress on your wrist
- Optional temperature and humidity from HomeKit climate sensors
- Sessions sync back to iPhone automatically

How Sauna Assistant compares
Phone timers count down. Recovery trackers log data. Sauna Assistant guides the whole ritual.
Questions from home sauna owners
What people usually want to know before they buy once and keep it.
Does it control my sauna lights automatically?
Yes! Sauna Assistant integrates with Apple Home (HomeKit) to create fully automated experiences. Set up scenes for your smart lights, fans, and other devices once. Then every session automatically adjusts your environment without touching a switch. Different lighting for sauna rounds vs. cool-down periods—it's like having your own spa attendant.
Is this a subscription or one-time purchase?
$19.99. Once. Forever. No recurring fees, no hidden costs. Buy once and enjoy all current and future features forever. We believe in simple, honest pricing.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Your wellness journey is yours alone. Sauna Assistant requires no third-party accounts and zero data tracking. All your session history, streaks, and settings stay completely private and seamlessly sync across your devices using your own secure Apple iCloud.
What if I want to use my own music?
Sauna Assistant includes 17 professionally curated ambient themes, and we add new themes with app updates. We also offer Silent Mode so you can bring your own music or enjoy peaceful quiet. You still get intelligent round timing, smart home controls, and session tracking—just without our audio themes.
Do I need to bring my phone into the sauna?
No. Your phone connects to your sauna's multimedia system (Bluetooth/AirPlay) and controls HomeKit lights wirelessly, so it can conveniently stay outside. With the new Apple Watch companion, you can start, pause, resume, and end sessions — and monitor your heart rate — directly from your wrist. You can also control your session via Live Activities on your Mac or iPad.
