Calm launches standalone iOS app for sleep support

Calm has launched a new standalone iOS app called Calm Sleep, aimed at providing personalized support to help users improve their sleep quality. The app begins with a short onboarding questionnaire to create a tailored sleep plan that includes recommended content and daily tasks focused on improving digital hygiene, exercise, stress reduction, and the sleep environment. A unique “sleep readiness” bar visually tracks users’ progress throughout the day, encouraging better habits. Additionally, Calm Sleep integrates with wearables via Apple HealthKit to help users act on their sleep data. At launch, Calm Sleep offers new exclusive Sleep Stories from notable personalities like radio host Delilah and actor Andrew Scott, alongside a vast existing library of over 300 hours of sleep content and 500 Sleep Stories. New content will be exclusive to Calm Sleep for four weeks before becoming available on the main Calm app. Calm, which pioneered Sleep Stories a decade ago, has seen these stories played over 1 billion times, underscoring its leadership in the sleep content space.
