What content will be available on Apple Podcasts? What’s the difference between Calm content on Apple Podcasts and on the Calm app?

A wide selection of Calm’s Sleep Stories, meditations and mindfulness tools on Apple Podcasts are available through a variety of unique shows. We offer a large selection of free content to encourage sampling across our main content categories, though any Calm content marked “Subscription”will require a Calm subscription to gain access.

By downloading the Calm app, users can access Calm’s full range of premium content, features, and benefits, including 50,000+ hours of unique content, interactive tools like our Breathe Bubbles, personalized recommendations plus motivating features like reminders and streaks to help you maintain your progress.

I can’t find certain pieces of content on Apple Podcasts that are available on the Calm app.

For access to Calm’s entire content library, you’ll need to download the Calm mobile app or visit calm.com/app, while having an active Calm Premium subscription. 

I’ve linked my existing Calm account to Apple Podcasts but my content is still locked.

The first thing to do is make sure you are signed in to your Calm account using the same login credentials you used to activate your Calm account.

1. In the Calm app, tap Profile in the bottom right corner, select Settings in the upper left corner, and swipe up to confirm what email was used to create your account on the bottom of the screen.
2. Once you’ve confirmed you’ve located the account associated with your Calm Premium subscription, 
   • Existing Calm subscribers via App Store: Calm subscription must be Active subscription under your iOS settings. 
     • Apple users may have a masked email, or a Private Relay used during setup. Be sure to select the Apple sign in option when presented
   • Existing Calm subscribers via Web or Android: Make sure to link the account associated with your Calm Premium subscription

Please note, your iOS device must be updated to the latest version. Please see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204

If you have any further trouble accessing Calm's Premium content, please write to us here and provide a screenshot of the locked content as well as the confirmation page showing you purchased a Calm Premium subscription, along with the email address on your Calm account.

Can I link my Calm account with more than one Apple ID?

No, Calm subscribers can only link their Calm account to a single Apple ID.

How does my billing work for a Calm subscription redeemed via Apple Podcasts?

Your billing will be managed by Apple, as the purchases will be made through their App Store. 

What happens if I don't have a Calm Premium subscription anymore?

You will no longer have access to exclusive content on Apple Podcasts, but will still be able to listen to the free Calm content.
