A prompt to build your own version of Calm

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Calm-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want sleep stories, guided meditations and relaxing music before bed. The main screen should show three clear categories and a small library of tracks with artwork, titles and lengths. Tapping a track opens an audio player with play, pause, a progress bar and a sleep timer. Support listening with the screen locked. Let me tap a heart to save a track and find it in Favorites, stored on my device. Use deep navy, muted lavender and warm cream, with large text and quiet, uncluttered screens. Include realistic sample track data and placeholder audio for the first build.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Calm won't have

Calm gives people a large library of professionally recorded meditations, celebrity sleep stories and exclusive music that a homemade app would not include.

  • Calm's original Sleep Stories
  • Celebrity narrator recordings
  • Exclusive music catalog
  • Calm's expert meditation courses
