## About

Wellness app offering guided meditation, sleep stories, and relaxation exercises

## Activity summary

Calm is restricted in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 showed the site and account creation work normally, but the payment step fails with an error loading the payment form, so no subscription can be completed. A volunteer emailed the support team in February 2026 requesting a compliance review, and the company replied only with an automated ticket acknowledgment.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-29 — Investigated. Community testing from Syria found that Calm's website and signup flow load normally, but the payment step fails. After creating an account and reaching the Calm Premium plan selection at calm.com/signup-flow, the payment section returned the error «We couldn't load the payment form. Please try again.» and no payment method could be selected. Browsing and account creation themselves were unaffected.

- 2026-02-26 — Company Responded. Calm's support team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from feedback@calm.com. The response acknowledged receipt and created a support ticket, noting that the team is experiencing higher-than-usual volume but is committed to responding as quickly as possible. No timeline or specific action regarding the Syria access request was provided. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-02-26 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Calm's support team at support@calm.com requesting a compliance review to restore access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC and EU sanctions lift with supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, and highlighted that several other platforms have already resumed services.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
