Your phone takes 4 hours a day. Bloom gives them back. Bloom is an app blocker that turns your screen time into a garden. Put your phone down and your flowers grow. Keep scrolling and they wilt. **HOW IT WORKS** 1. Pick the apps that drain you: social media, games, entertainment, or all of them at once. 2. Set your rule: a fixed schedule, a daily time limit, or a limit on how many times you can open an app. 3. Every day you keep your rules earns you a watering can. 4. Water your garden and watch it grow. Or let it wilt. **WHAT YOU CAN BLOCK** - Individual apps, or entire categories - Social media, games, entertainment, shopping, news - Schedule blocking: mornings, work hours, evenings - Daily time limit per app - Daily limit on how many times you open an app **WHY IT LASTS** Other screen time apps show you numbers.

It is simple, and it changes everything. **WHAT YOU GET BACK** Bloom gardeners cut their screen time by 38% on average in their first month. That is 28 hours a week, and 61 days a year. **YOUR GARDEN** Sunflowers, tulips, lavender and many more. Every week you keep unlocks new plants. Your garden becomes the visible proof of your discipline. **YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU** Bloom is built on Apple's Screen Time API. Your usage data never leaves your phone.
