How to Create and Manage Custom Playlists

Our Playlists feature allows you to create customizable playlists composed of your favorite Calm content. At this time, custom Playlists can include a mix of Meditations, Sleep Stories, and Music tracks.

How do I create a custom Playlist?

Playlists can be created directly from a supported audio session: 

1. Start your Meditation, Sleep Story or Music track to open the player screen.
2. Next, tap the Playlist button next to the ‘share’ icon.
3. Here, you will have the option to create a new playlist. Enter a title for your new Playlist and tap 'Save Playlist'.
   • If you already have a Playlist created, you will see an option to add your current session to this playlist, or to create a new playlist.

Why can't I see the Playlist button on my current session?

Currently, there are a few content types within the app that do not support this feature. These content types are:

• Movement - Daily Move and Calm Body sessions
• Timed Meditations
• Manual Sessions
• Soundscapes
• Breathing Exercises
• Taptivities - Daily Interactive sessions

How do I add sessions to my custom Playlist?

To add a session to your custom Playlist, simply start your Meditation, Sleep Story or Music track to open the player screen. Next, tap the Playlist button, next to the ‘share’ icon. You will then have the option to add the current session to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.

How do I remove sessions from my custom Playlist?

Sessions can be removed directly from the Player screen:

1. If the session is already playing, tap the Player bar to expand the Player screen.
2. Tap the Playlist button (next to the 'share' icon).
3. Here, you will see a green check mark next to all Playlists containing the current session. Tap the green check mark to remove the session from the Playlist you are editing. This change will update automatically. 

If the session isn't playing yet, you can navigate to Profile > Library > My Playlists and then tap 'See all' to view your custom Playlist library. Select the Playlist you want to edit, tap the session you wish to remove, and follow the steps above to complete the removal.

How do I delete a Playlist? 

To delete a Playlist entirely, navigate to Profile > Library > My Playlists and then tap 'See all' to view your custom Playlist library. Here, open the Playlist you wish to delete. Tap the 3 dots button in the top right-hand corner of your screen, and a 'Remove Playlist' button will show. Click the ‘X’ next to ‘Remove Playlist’ to delete your custom Playlist. Please note, that once a Playlist is deleted it cannot be recovered. 

Where can I find all of my custom Playlists?

You can view all of your custom Playlists in the Profile tab of the app. Once here, select the 'Library' button at the top of the page, and scroll down to see 'My Playlists'. Next, tap 'See all' to view your custom Playlists library.
