Kalda is the sleep and mental wellbeing app made for LGBTQIA+ people. Drift off to original Sleep Stories written by queer authors and read by real narrators, then build calmer days with courses created by qualified therapists. Fall asleep somewhere that feels like home.
We built Kalda so every LGBTQIA+ person across identities, ages, and intersections can access evidence-based care whenever, wherever.
_______
Sleep Stories Written For You
Most bedtime stories were never written with us in mind. Ours are. Every Kalda Sleep Story is written by a queer author and read by a human narrator, never generated by a machine. They are long, gently paced and low on drama, so your mind has somewhere soft to land.
Explore different worlds you would like to drift off to and we'll suggest stories for your first few nights, and set a bedtime reminder so winding down becomes a habit you keep rather than a fight you lose.
Made for trouble falling asleep, a racing mind at night, insomnia, stress, and anyone who wants a kinder way to end the day.

Courses Created By Therapists, Made For Queer Lives
Kalda began as a mental health app, and that heart is still here. Our video courses are written by clinical psychologists and therapists and taught by lived-experience folks in the community, grounded in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT and ACT. All overseen by our clinical lead, an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist. Each course runs across seven short sessions you can watch in bed, on the bus or whenever you have ten minutes to yourself.
Explore courses on Understanding Anxiety, Overcoming Anxiety, Overcoming Depression, Reduce Overthinking, Building Self-Esteem, Building Self-Love, Managing Relationships, Overcoming Loneliness, Neurodiversity, Managing Gender Dysphoria, Exploring Gender and Identity, Being Non-Binary, Finding Your Sexuality, Embracing Bisexuality and Overcoming Queer Imposter Syndrome.
_______
Also In The App
A private journal, so you can get the day out of your head before you sleep. Guided meditations for mindfulness, listening, movement, gratitude and self-care. Gentle progress tracking that celebrates minutes rested and sessions completed with levels and badges, never guilt.

Made With Care, Not Hype
Kalda is built in the UK by a small team working with queer writers, narrators, therapists, and facilitators. We never sell your data. There are no waiting lists and no referrals: a good night's sleep and real support are two taps away.

Nice concept, but you cannot sign in with the email option and it won’t let you update your profile information. The app seems a little glitchy.

Bad User Interface
BAM80SD
Cannot minimize screen to continue past the 3 pages introduction. I can swipe left or right but attempts to scroll up or down have no effect and I can not access any other part of app.
