The app features hundreds of calming exercises, helpful breathing techniques, and sleep stories narrated by celebrities like Matthew McConaughey or Harry Styles. Calm’s app is relatively simple to navigate and has a lot of meditation options, but fewer courses geared toward beginners and fewer courses overall, with less compelling sequencing.
