The Sauna Tracker App Origins
We built Sauna Tracker because the existing solutions we subpar and we needed to subscribe to a monthly plan to unlock the most basic features. For example most apps lock your session history or streaks behind a monthly subscription, Sauna Tracker does not do that and you don't need a subscription, everything is included for a one time purchase price!
