Calm downloads sleep stories and meditations for offline use into private app storage. Library and streaks sync with a Calm account.
Last updated
Calm splits content from state. Sleep stories, meditations, and music stream from the catalog and download per title for offline use. Streaks, history, and favorites sync through the Calm account.
That makes login the migration and downloads the errand: restore the account first, then re-fetch offline titles. Kids profiles and shared family plans follow the same account. Exact folder names may vary by version, so manage downloads inside the app rather than the filesystem. Sleep timers fade audio out gently at the set hour.

Frequently asked questions
How do I listen offline?
Open the story or session and use the download option for offline listening. Downloads persist until cleared from settings. Airplane mode then plays from local copies without surprises.
Does progress transfer to a new phone?
Yes for library, streaks, and history on login. Downloaded audio rebuilds per title on the new phone. Re-download favorites over WiFi before the first trip; hotel networks throttle precisely when needed.
