Sauce for Zwift

Overlay dozens of widgets on top of Zwift

Designed and created in Idaho, so you know it's real good

HINT: Zwift needs to be in "windowed" mode

Sane defaults...

but you can pretty much change everything

The main application settings window

Mind the gap

Say hello to real race craft with group gaps

Also has a horizontal mode and zoomed-in view

Interactive Map

I wrote this from scratch and it was a ton of fun

Breath life into your zwift map with pointer controls

A tweaker's delight

Am I allowed to say tweaker still/yet?

Pour a cup of something and dig into this for an hour or two

This is gonna sound crazy

but what if the chat messages didn't just clobber on top of themselves?

Since I'd rather spend my time programming than maintaining goofy websites. Here are the other things worth mentioning..

  • Requirements
    1. Patreon membership
      • Let's be honest, this is pretty niche software. I'm just looking to make an honest wage and at present that means a very small monthly patronage is required.
      • However, here is your free-trial hack. Patreon doesn't bill until the 1st of the month. Subscribe, try Sauce, and cancel before the following 1st and you'll not be charged.
    2. A Zwift account - duh
    3. A second Zwift account - wait, what!?
      • Don't panic
      • This is technical detail and you do NOT need to pay for a second Zwift account.
      • Zwift's network doesn't allow multiple connections with the same login.
      • Sauce has its own connection, so it needs its own "monitor" account too. Because it only "Fan Views", you don't need active billing on this account.
      • You don't need to write all this down. Just Download Sauce and launch it. It will guide you through the process.
  • Mods
    • Short for modifications, they are security sandboxed packages modelled after browser extensions.
    • Code is only executed in a Web Browser context. As such, they only work with web tech like JavaScript, WASM, HTML and CSS.
    • Backend code execution is not allowed.
    • Browse existing Community Mods
    • Build your own from the GitHub Example Mod project
  • API / Web Access
    • Sauce runs an optional web server on your local network.
    • Default access is on port 1080, a la..
      • http://localhost:1080
      • https://localhost:1081 - TLS Encrypted (self signed cert)
    • The web server serves two functions:
      1. Local network access to Sauce Windows from phones, tablets, other same-network computers
      2. REST and WebSocket API for writing your own tools on top of Sauce
  • Data Usage
    • Sauce is a client-side application.
    • All Zwift data is exchanged directly between your computer and Zwift servers. No cloud storage, no proxying of data. It's just you and Zwift.
    • Sauce is built on Electron, which is built on Chromium, so in short, you're running a specialized web browser that understands the Zwift network protocols.
  • Restrict use
