The Kalda mobile app is in beta. This post is a quick update on what’s in it, who it’s for, and how it sits alongside the web library and the £99 lifetime pass.
What’s in the beta?
The mobile app currently includes:
- Our courses: queer-affirming mental wellbeing courses, designed for mobile-friendly module lengths
- Daily reflections: short prompts to land in your day
- Daily video affirmations: short video pieces from queer voices
- Meditations: practices you can do on the go, anywhere
The combination is designed for fitting Kalda into a real day rather than asking you to sit down for an hour-long course. Five minutes in the morning, ten minutes before bed, a meditation on the bus.
Who is the app for?
The same people Kalda has always been for: LGBTQIA+ people looking for queer-affirming mental wellbeing support, on their own time, at their own pace.
The mobile format suits particular use cases especially well:
- Daily practice. Short consistent engagement compounds. The app makes daily Kalda use practical.
- In-the-moment tools. Meditations and affirmations when you need them, where you are.
- Privacy. Some people prefer doing mental health work on a personal device rather than a shared computer.
- Mobility. Reflections and meditations work as well on a train as on a sofa.
The web library remains the best home for longer-form engagement with a specific course.
How much does it cost?
The mobile app has a monthly and an annual subscription. Specific pricing is shown in the app stores and during onboarding.
For people who want long-term access without subscribing, the £99 lifetime pass on kalda.co remains the most cost-effective option. It gives you forever access to the full web course library.
If £99 is out of reach, we have a pay-what-you-can option for any of our pricing. Just email us and we’ll be happy to help. Accessibility includes financial accessibility, and we don’t want money to be the reason someone doesn’t get queer-affirming mental health support.
How do I get access?
The app is available on iOS and Android. Search “Kalda” in the App Store or Google Play, or follow the link on kalda.co to download.
Why a mobile app?
A few reasons we made the call:
Where people actually engage. Most queer people read, reflect, and use mental health tools on their phones. Meeting people where they are matters.
Daily practice. Mental health work benefits compound with consistency. The phone format makes short daily engagement realistic in a way the web doesn’t always.
In-the-moment access. Affirmations, meditations, and grounding tools are most useful when you can pull them up immediately. Mobile makes that genuinely possible.
What’s coming next
We’re working on bringing more of the web course library across to mobile, expanding the daily content, and refining the experience based on beta feedback. If there’s something specific you’d love to see, tell us. The beta is the moment when shaping the product is easiest, and we genuinely use the feedback.
