About Calm

Calm is an app for meditation, sleep and relaxation. It offers guided sessions for in-the-moment relief from stress and anxiety, sleep content designed to help you fall and stay asleep, and soundscapes for unwinding after a busy day.

It also includes guided material for building a daily mindfulness practice. The app is proprietary and account based, and it can be tried for free before a subscription. It suits people who want ready-made audio sessions for sleep and stress rather than a tracker or a data-focused tool.

Strengths

  • Large library of guided meditations and sleep content
  • Soundscapes for relaxing or falling asleep
  • Covers stress relief, sleep and daily mindfulness in one app

Limitations

  • Much of the content requires a paid subscription
  • Proprietary service that needs an account
