Before you get in
A few good questions.
Can I book through KUUME?
No. «Book» opens the venue’s own booking page, or its website when we have no booking link. You book and pay the venue, not us.
Has KUUME checked every place?
Not yet. Most places are listed from public sources and say «not yet checked by KUUME». We check them one by one. If something is wrong, every place has a link to tell us.
I already use sauna. Why an app?
For a different kind of session: a composed rhythm, music when it suits the place, and clear guidance through the pauses. Use as much or as little of it as you like.
What is a ritual?
Our word for a guided sauna session: a beginning, a sequence of heat, cooling and rest, and time to finish. Downshift is a simple place to start.
Does my phone go in the sauna?
No. Keep it on dry land, outside the heat, and check the next step between rounds. Play sound out loud only where the venue allows it and the people around you agree. Text and a timer work just as well.
Do I have to take a cold dip?
No. Some rituals are built around cold water, and others stay on dry land. Choose one that suits you. You can skip the dip, and you can always stop or leave.
What does it cost?
Nothing. KUUME is free, with no subscriptions, ads or in-app purchases. The app isn’t in the app stores yet.
Have a ritual to share?
We’re making the first ones with invited sauna masters and hosts. Write to us.
KUUME on your phone
