About Calmian
What is Calmian?
Calmian is an AI wellness companion for iPhone and iPad. You can talk things through by voice or text in Talk It Out, hear the companion in a familiar voice with My Voice, steady yourself with short guided activities, keep a journal, and follow your mood over time in Insights.
Can I use Calmian instead of therapy?
No. Calmian is a supportive companion, not a therapist, counselor or medical service. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
Am I talking to a real person?
No. Conversations in Calmian are generated by artificial intelligence. AI responses can be wrong or incomplete, so please do not rely on Calmian alone for important decisions about your health or wellbeing.
What should I do in a crisis?
Calmian is not an emergency service and is not monitored by people. If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line right away. The app shows the crisis line and emergency number for the country it believes you are in.
Who can use Calmian?
Calmian is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to use it.
Which devices and languages are supported?
Calmian runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later, and is available in English, Deutsch, Türkçe, Español, Français.
Subscriptions and My Voice
How do Talk It Out subscriptions work?
Weekly, monthly and annual subscriptions include voice minutes for spoken calls: 30 minutes a week on the weekly plan, or 120 minutes a month on the monthly and annual plans. Typed conversations have no minute limit. Unused minutes do not carry over, and a single call can last up to 30 minutes. Every account can try one free 3-minute spoken conversation before subscribing.
How do I cancel a subscription or ask for a refund?
Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends in your Apple ID settings (Settings > your name > Subscriptions). Refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We never see or store your payment details.
How does My Voice work?
You record a voice sample of 10 to 60 seconds, and Calmian creates a synthetic voice from it so the companion can reply in that voice. Sessions are booked in one-hour slots, allow up to 40 minutes of conversation, and are paid with session packs. Cancel or reschedule at least 15 minutes before the start, or the session is deducted. One free 3-minute My Voice trial is available per account.
Whose voice can I record?
Only your own, or the voice of an adult who has given you clear permission and understands that a synthetic copy will be created. You can delete your voice at any time in My Voice.
Privacy and your data
Is my data secure?
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell it or share it with advertisers. Conversations are processed by OpenAI to generate replies, journal voice notes stay only on the device that recorded them, and you can delete your account and data at any time.
Who processes my conversations?
OpenAI generates replies and transcribes speech. Under OpenAI's API data policy, this data is not used to train its models and may be kept for up to 30 days to detect abuse. Your account is hosted on Google Firebase. The full list is in the Privacy Policy.
What does Conversation Memory do?
When it is on, Calmian saves a transcript and a short AI summary of each session so later conversations can remember what matters to you. They are removed after 30 days. You can turn saving off or delete individual summaries in Profile > Conversation Memory.
Why does Calmian ask for my location?
Only to show the right crisis line and emergency number for your country. It is optional. If you allow it, the app keeps just your country code on your device for one day and never uploads it. Without it, Calmian uses the region set on your device.
How do I get a copy of my data?
Email privacy@calmian.app from the address on your account and we will send you a copy of the data we hold.
How do I delete my account?
Open Profile in the app and choose Delete Account. This deletes your profile, journal, moods, conversations, summaries and voice samples, and unlinks your Apple sign-in. Journal voice notes on that device are removed as well.
