Time-based social network and calendar app

About Saturn

Saturn Technologies Inc. has created a time-based social network specifically designed for students.

This app is tailored for high school and college students, making time management more interactive and engaging. Unlike other calendar apps, Saturn emphasizes collaboration and social interaction, which sets it apart in the educational technology market. The company operates on a freemium model, offering basic features for free while providing premium options for a fee. With recent funding of $44 million, Saturn aims to enhance its app, grow its user base, and explore new markets, all while making scheduling a more enjoyable experience for students.
