You can connect the Calm app to your iPhone or iPad's Apple Health app to automatically track your listening sessions as Mindfulness Minutes.
Important Note Before You Begin: These instructions are specifically for the primary Calm app. If you are looking to sync the standalone Calm Sleep app, please see our other guide here: Connecting Health Data to Calm Sleep
How to Enable Apple Health Syncing
To connect the Calm app to Apple Health, follow these steps:
Open the Calm app and tap Profile in the bottom right corner.
Tap the Settings (Gear icon ⚙️) in the upper left corner.
Locate the 'Apple Health' setting and toggle it to the ON position.
Follow the on-screen Apple Health prompts to allow Calm to write Mindfulness data.
Once connected, your completed sessions will appear under the Mindfulness category inside your Apple Health app.
What Content Counts as Mindfulness Minutes?
Please note that background Scenes do not count as Mindfulness minutes in Apple Health. Only active, guided sessions (such as meditations and Sleep Stories) are recorded to your Health app.
Using Calm with an Apple Watch
If you use the Calm app on your Apple Watch, your sessions can also be tracked and synced. For more information on how to set up and use Calm on your wearable device, please see our Apple Watch guide here: How to Use the Calm App on Apple Watch
Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Apple Health toggle disappear from my Calm settings?
This is normal! Once Calm is successfully connected to the Health app, the 'Apple Health' toggle will be removed from your Calm settings menu. If you need to manage your permissions or disconnect Calm in the future, you must do so directly inside your Apple Health app (Open Apple Health > Tap your Profile picture > Select Apps > Select Calm)."
Is Calm's Apple Health integration supported on iPad?
Yes! Apple Health syncing is supported on iPad running iPadOS 17 or later.
