User reviews

Let’s you get on with your life

Great bit of kit. It forces you to fight through boredom and get onto more productive things in life

Game Changer

For years, I depended on my unreliable willpower to engage with social media less before bed and first thing in the morning. The discipline never stuck like I wanted it to. Bloom has been exactly what I needed to make the changes I desired. Would definitely recommend!

Love it

Only had it for a few days and already seeing major benefits

Love the schedule feature

UPDATE:
This has changed my life. Willpower was never enough for me so this has been a game changer. I am so much more productive and happy!

I’ve been using this for two days now, but I’ve had the device for almost two months and just hadn’t got myself to be discliplined enough to use it each day. I finally got on the app and set a schedule so that I couldn’t just ‘forget’ to tap my card each morning. What a game changer!!! It’s been humbling to see how badly my mind wants to just grab my phone and preoccupy every possible extra second with stupid social media. Love love love this product and will encourage others to get one as well!!!

Love the idea, could use way better UI

I absolutely love the idea of this card, but there are just a few very odd UI experiences. It’s honestly not super user friendly on how to setup and to schedule different time blocks. I don’t love that you have to first pick a category, and then pick the apps to block or not block, go pick a time slot and select a given category. I want to be able to just select time blocks and what apps to block. Kind of an annoying double workflow.

FAQ

What does Bloom do?

Bloom is a productivity app designed to help you conquer screen time. It uses an NFC keycard to block distracting apps and websites, requiring you to tap the card to your phone to access them. This physical control method aims to improve focus and reduce phone usage.

How does the NFC keycard work?

You select the apps or websites you find most distracting within the Bloom app. To block these distractions, you tap your Bloom NFC keycard to your phone. To unblock them, you tap the card again. This physical action creates a barrier to accessing your chosen distractions.

What are the key features of Bloom?

Key features include the ability to choose and block distracting apps, set personalized schedules for focus periods, manage the frequency and duration of breaks, and enable a strict mode that prevents app deletion. It also offers emergency exits to unblock apps without the card up to three times.

Is Bloom compatible with my device?

The app description implies compatibility with NFC-enabled phones, as the core functionality relies on tapping an NFC keycard. Specific operating system requirements or device compatibility lists are not detailed in the provided information, but NFC capability is essential.

How can Bloom help with digital detox?

Bloom offers a unique physical solution for digital detox by making access to distracting apps require a deliberate physical action with the NFC keycard. This, combined with features like scheduled focus periods and break limits, encourages more mindful phone usage and helps users spend more time on other activities.
