Track your weight without ever seeing the number. Bloom was made for new moms who feel scared of the scale. After pregnancy, the number can feel heavy every single morning, even on days when things are actually going well. You still want to pay attention to your body. You just don't want to see the number. So Bloom hides it. HOW IT WORKS Step on your scale and point your phone at the display. Bloom reads the weight with your camera, saves it, and never shows it to you. Instead, you see what really matters: the direction you're heading over time. • Is the trend gently moving down, holding steady, or moving up? • Is that in line with what you're aiming for right now? • Bloom smooths out water, salt and sleep swings, so one bad morning never feels like a setback. FEEL GOOD ABOUT SHOWING UP • Daily streaks with a weekly check-in goal • Grow through levels, from Seed to Evergreen • Unlock badges like Early Bird, Perfect Week and In Full Bloom • A little celebration every time you check in • Blossom, your mascot, cheers you on along the way MADE TO BE GENTLE • No numbers on screen, ever, unless you choose to turn them on • Kind, non-judgmental wording, even when the trend goes the other way • Log how you feel with each check-in and see how your mood changes over time • Trouble scanning? Type the reading in blind: you only see dots YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account needed • Syncs with Apple Health if you want it to • Works in kilograms and pounds • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets BLOOM UNLIMITED Bloom is free to use with one scan a day and your 7-day trend. Bloom Unlimited adds: • 30 and 90-day trends • Unlimited scans • Streak Shield: one missed day a week never breaks your streak • Deeper insights into what your trend means, including your weekly rhythm • Premium theme colors and iCloud backup Choose a yearly or 3-month subscription, both with a free trial for new subscribers, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends.

Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

About

ZenTimer

Read full description

Taking a moment to close your eyes in the midst of a busy day. Meditation provides a valuable space to clear an information-overloaded mind and regain inner peace. ZenTimer is an incredibly simple meditation app designed to seamlessly integrate that quiet time into your daily life. Start by setting a target time, but there is no pressure to strictly stick to it. Finish early if you are satisfied, or keep going if it feels right. Meditating in pure silence is meaningful enough on its own. However, on days when it feels "too noisy in your head," try turning on the ambient sound. We provide a unique meditation soundscape centered on the 528Hz Solfeggio frequency, fusing singing bowl harmonics, ambient drones, and the breath of nature. Blending scientifically-guided Theta wave induction with traditional harmonic therapy, it is more than just background music—it is a "space" to align your consciousness. Distractions fade away with the sound’s fade-in, and a pleasant silence settles into your body with the fade-out. ■ Sound Features ・528Hz Solfeggio Frequency (including harmonic series) ・Tibetan Bowl Harmonics (1 / 2.756 / 5.404 ratio) ・Space Ambient Pad (Am harmonic chord structure) ・Binaural Beats θ wave 6Hz (when using headphones) ・Brown Noise ambient style Find your calm, starting from just one minute a day. Change the quality of your day with quiet time spent simply counting.
