Read full description

Bloom is a calm, private diary for tracking gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Log your blood sugar, blood pressure, and meals in seconds — and see your progress at a glance. Everything you record stays on your phone. There's no account to create, nothing to sign in to, and nothing is ever uploaded to a server. Your health data is yours alone. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Blood sugar readings — fasting, after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner • Blood pressure • Meals and notes, so you can spot what affects your numbers • Your doctor's own target ranges (Bloom never invents targets — you enter the ones your provider gives you) SEE YOUR TRENDS • Weekly trend charts for each reading type • 7-day averages and in-range summaries • A clear daily checklist so you never miss a reading GENTLE, HELPFUL REMINDERS • Optional daily reminders for each reading time • A little encouragement as you build your logging streak BUILT FOR PRIVACY • 100% on-device storage — your data never leaves your phone • No account, no ads, no tracking, no third parties • Export your full log any time to back it up or share with your care team • Erase everything instantly whenever you want ACCESSIBLE • Adjustable text size • Light and dark mode A NOTE ON MEDICAL ADVICE Bloom is a personal diary, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, does not interpret your readings, and does not suggest target values. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance, and contact them right away if a reading concerns you or you feel unwell. Made with care for anyone navigating gestational diabetes.
