Make room for rest in a busy workday.
Light Calm is for people who spend their days at a screen, between meetings or finding it hard to stop. Take a minute away from the screen, pause in the afternoon or wind down after work with a small action that fits your day. Available on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Choose a break that fits now. Set the time you have, whether you need to stay seated and whether you prefer silence. Get a suggestion with text guidance, optional voice or silent mode. Pause or finish early whenever you need to.
Let work end, even with tasks unfinished. Leave a next step in your own work tools, then start a three-minute wind-down. There is no need to enter work details or maintain another task list.
When stopping feels difficult, try a small step. Drawing on cognitive behavioral principles, Light Calm invites you to explore a barrier, choose or rewrite a concern, take a short break and observe what happened. No change or an unclear result is valid too. Skip the reflection and rest directly, or pause today's plan when time or caregiving responsibilities leave no room.
Learn what suits you. Optionally record how a break felt, or why you finished early. Your weekly review brings together actual records and small experiments to help you consider keeping, shortening or pausing a break. There are no daily streaks to maintain.
Different routines call for different pauses. Explore guidance and small tasks for desk work, demanding conversations, late work, shifts, caregiving and stepping away from information before bed. There is no requirement to fall asleep.
Start from your wrist. Take a one-minute screen break or a three-minute work wind-down on Apple Watch. Choose whether to sync breaks, feelings and plans with iPhone. Manage notifications with a main switch and settings for individual actions.
With Apple Health permission, view sleep summaries, sleep stages and available heart rate and heart rate variability data for personal observation. Core breaks work without sign-in, a watch or health access.
For help choosing, submit a question and request an AI suggestion. Cloud AI requires sign-in, internet access and confirmation of the content before each request. Only your question and generic action candidates are sent. Health data, personal history and experiment records are not sent automatically.
Personal records stay on your device by default and can be exported or deleted. Concerns and observations from small experiments stay on this device, are not sent to cloud AI or your watch, and can be deleted individually.
Download free to try selected actions, available durations up to five minutes, voice and silent guidance, reminders, personal records and small experiments. A one-time purchase unlocks the full action library, ten- to thirty-minute durations for supported actions, and rain and water sounds. There is no automatic renewal. Unlimited cloud AI use is not included.
Light Calm offers everyday rest and self-help exercises. It does not replace sleep or professional mental health support, provide medical diagnosis or treatment, or offer a complete course of CBT therapy. Choose actions that suit you and stop if you feel uncomfortable.
