Our take

Saturn is shaking up the social media landscape with a unique, calendar-based app designed for high schoolers to track their schedules, interact with classmates, and access key information. By combining messaging and social features with a specialized calendar tailored to hectic school routines, Saturn has experienced rapid growth and is now active in over 17,0000 schools across the US.

The app's focus on helping students stay organized and connected has resonated strongly, with features that support rotation calendars, block schedules, and even lunch waves. Plus, Saturn's functionality extends to clubs, teams, and student councils, making it a valuable tool for managing group activities.

Looking ahead, Saturn is expanding its reach to college students, allowing users to take their calendars with them after high school and making the app a seamless part of their academic experience.
