Bloom

Bloom is a habit tracker with a gentler philosophy: every habit you build is a living plant. Check in to water it, keep it up, and it grows from a tiny seed into a full, flourishing bloom. Miss a day? Your plant simply wilts — it never dies, and it perks right back up when you return. No broken-streak shame. No guilt. Just gentle, lasting progress. WHY BLOOM FEELS DIFFERENT Most habit apps punish you for being human. Bloom is built around the opposite idea — that kindness and consistency beat pressure every time. No leaderboards, no comparison. The only person you're growing alongside is yesterday's you. YOUR LIVING GARDEN Watch every habit grow through five stages — seed, sprout, bud, bloom, and flourishing — based on your consistency. Your whole garden shifts with the time of day and comes alive as you care for it. It's the most beautiful reason to keep showing up. BUILD ANY HABIT • Simple check-off habits (meditate, take vitamins) • Count-based habits (8 glasses of water, 20 pages) • Timed habits with a built-in timer (stretch, deep work) • "Leave behind" habits that count the days you've stayed free of something • Flexible schedules: every day, specific weekdays, X times per week or month, or every few days STREAKS WITHOUT FEAR Sick day? Traveling? A skip with a reason protects your streak, and monthly streak freezes quietly cover the days life gets in the way. Milestones are celebrated with a shower of petals — and comebacks are celebrated loudest of all. SEE WHAT HELPS YOU GROW Beautiful stats, calendar heatmaps, and completion trends show your progress at a glance. Optional insights reveal how your habits connect — and how they shape your mood. GENTLE, NEVER NAGGING Warm, rotating reminders nudge you at just the right moment — never the same guilt-trip twice. A soft evening summary shows what's left, and quiet hours keep your evenings calm. MADE FOR YOUR iPHONE • Start a timed habit and watch the countdown live in the Dynamic Island • Home Screen widgets show today's progress at a glance • Gorgeous light (Morning Bloom) and dark (Midnight Garden) themes MOOD, CONNECTED An optional once-a-day mood check-in helps you notice how your habits and your wellbeing feed each other — no pressure, just awareness. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything lives on your device. No account required, ever. Sign in only if you want your garden safely backed up and synced across devices. No ads. No selling your data. Your habits are yours — export them anytime. Plant your first habit today, and watch something beautiful grow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bloom at none against Forma's 1. Bloom also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
