Some nights arrive in one piece. Many don't. Mama Bloom: Sleep Tracker is a private diary for your own rest — not a baby's — and it never gives your night a score. A night shift, a baby, pain, worry, or someone who needs you can break sleep into chapters, and most sleep apps grade that reality like a failed exam. This one doesn't grade it at all. Born from a mother's interrupted nights, built for anyone whose sleep arrives in pieces: new parents, caregivers, shift workers, light sleepers, anyone awake at 3 a.m. who would rather understand the night than be marked down for it. HOW A MORNING WORKS • First, say how restored you feel — before a single number appears. • Night Accord sets your feeling beside what Apple Health recorded. Neither outranks the other. • Rest Mosaic lays your whole 24 hours out in chapters, so naps and split sleep stay visible as rest rather than failure. • Patterns shows what is changing — duration and timing as context, never as a verdict. • Wind Down is four quiet minutes with soft breathing haptics and a gentle ambience you can set to Silence. No voice, no narration, nothing to browse. • Quiet Week hides the nightly numbers when you need distance, without deleting a thing. WHAT IT ISN'T No score. No streaks. No alarm. No microphone. No sleep-story library. And nothing here records anyone else's sleep, a baby's included — this is a diary for your own nights. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No analytics. No ads. No cloud. Your nights, reflections, and notes stay on your device. Apple Health access is read-only and optional — you can write sleep in by hand instead, with no wearable at all. Export and deletion are always free. HONEST ABOUT THE EVIDENCE Every recorded night names its source and how much of the night the data actually covers. Mama Bloom speaks in associations — what turns up together in your own record — never in diagnoses or promises. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE The foundation is free: Apple Health import, manual sleep chapters, your complete history, morning reflections, your first complete 14-night practice, Wind Down, Quiet Week, export, and deletion. Mama Bloom Lifetime is a single purchase — never a subscription — and it opens the Living Almanac (28-night, 90-night, and all-time chapters), a set of practices that adapt to your real life, private on-device summaries, and designed PDF almanacs. Family Sharing included. Restore anytime. An Apple Watch app shows your latest night and runs Wind Down on the wrist. Any wearable that writes sleep to Apple Health appears with its source named. Mama Bloom is a consumer wellness app. It does not diagnose or treat anything and is not a substitute for professional care. If sleep troubles you, or the trouble persists, please speak with a qualified clinician.
