Bloom — Grow a Garden with Your Focus Bloom turns focus, mindfulness, and sleep into a calm garden you tend over time. Every session you finish blooms into a flower that is entirely its own: its kind, colour, petal form, and rarity are all shaped by your intention, your duration, and the moment you were in. No two flowers are ever alike. Try everything free for 14 days New users get a 14-day full-feature free trial — all flowers, the full garden, every scene. Once the trial ends, choose a subscription or a one-time purchase to keep going. To focus is to plant When you want to settle in and concentrate, plant a seed in Bloom, name what you're focusing on, and begin. Stay with it and the seed grows, until at last it blooms. Every flower stays in your garden for good — a real record of each stretch of time you gave your all. A gentle cost If you leave a session early, the flower doesn't simply vanish. It withers into a soft grey bud and remains in your garden all the same. It doesn't punish you. It just quietly remembers that this was where you stopped. More than focus alone Beyond deep focus, you can grow different flowers through mindful breathing and good sleep. Three ways to grow, three families of blooms, all gathering into a garden that is yours alone. Flowers are earned, never bought. Bloom never sells a single flower. Rare, epic, and legendary blooms are unlocked with coins earned from focus, mindfulness, and sleep — as are garden scenes, pot tiers, and how many pots you have. A subscription unlocks the ability to keep planting, not which flower you plant. The most striking flowers stay a reward for effort. Features Procedurally generated flowers — every one unique, never repeated Three modes: focus, mindful breathing, and sleep, each growing its own family of flowers A coin economy: unlock rare, epic, and legendary flowers through your own effort — coins can't be bought. Tend your garden your way: expand from 9 pots to 36, change pot tiers, switch between 6 garden scenes Share a garden with up to 8 friends, pooling focus hours together — reach 150 hours as a team to unlock an achievement flower that can't be bought. Focus insights: heatmaps, time-of-day distribution, and rarity composition, so you can see how far you've come Soft, spare design with an immersive dark mode that never gets in your way Every flower you've grown and your full garden history is never deleted, in any state. Bloom Plus Subscribe or buy once after the trial to keep using everything, and to unlock your full garden history, all garden scenes, and premium share cards. Bloom never rushes you and never interrupts. It quietly turns every stretch of time you give in earnest into a living garden — one that keeps growing, and is wholly your own. Start now, and plant your first flower. About pricing This app includes a 14-day full-feature free trial.
