Bloom

Bloom turns your phone into a brew bar. Connect an Acaia scale over Bluetooth and it reads your pour in real time — weight, flow rate, and every target — so you can keep your eyes on the kettle instead of the numbers. LIVE SCALE, NOT JUST A TIMER • Connects to Acaia Lunar and Pearl over Bluetooth • The gauge fills as you pour, and taps you when you hit each target • No scale? Every recipe falls back to a plain timer GUIDED BREWS • Nine built-in methods: V60, Chemex, Kalita Wave, AeroPress, French press, moka pot and more • Every step calls its pour weight, its time, and its water temperature • Setup tutorials tailored to each brewer — a Chemex is not a V60, and Bloom knows it BRING YOUR OWN RECIPES • Photograph a roaster's card or open a PDF — Bloom reads it and builds the method • Works in Arabic and English, entirely on your device • Full editor: ratio lock, servings scaling, per-pour targets and temperatures REMEMBERS EVERY CUP • Save each brew with its time, yield, rating and notes • Find out whether Tuesday's 1:15 really did beat Wednesday's 1:14 COMMUNITY • Browse and rate recipes shared by other people • Publish your own, or keep them to yourself ARABIC, PROPERLY Bloom is fully localised in Arabic with right-to-left layout — not an afterthought. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. Your recipes stay on your device.
