Bloom is a 75 day challenge tracker and habit tracker in one, built for the 75 soft challenge, Winter Arc, That Girl and every glow up challenge in between. Pick your challenge, do your daily rituals, keep the streak, and do it with an accountability partner who notices when you go quiet. You don't need another empty checklist. You need the plan, and someone who checks. PICK YOUR CHALLENGE Glow Up 75, Winter Arc, That Girl Era, Main Character 30, Soft Life Reset, Strong in 21, Rich Girl Era and more. Every challenge arrives with its own daily rituals, so you're never staring at a blank habit tracker wondering what to track. Want your own? Build a custom challenge, anywhere from 21 to 75 days. TRACK YOUR DAILY ROUTINE Water, workout, reading, skincare, sleep, journalling: tick off each ritual as you do it. Your daily routine tracker doubles as a plant that grows on the days you show up. KEEP YOUR STREAK Shields absorb missed days, one to three depending on the challenge's length. A single bad day doesn't cost you the streak or the journey, because that's the day most people quit their 75 day challenge. DO IT WITH AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER Share your 6-character code and you're paired. Two streaks side by side: she sees your day, you see hers. Accountability that isn't a group chat you mute. DAILY CHECK-INS An AI companion asks whether the routine got done and nudges you when you go quiet. Choose the personality that suits you. PROGRESS PHOTOS Save a photo against any day and watch 75 days of yourself line up in one grid. Photos stay on your phone. Bloom never uploads them. SEE THE WHOLE JOURNEY A calendar of every day you showed up, from day 1 to the last one. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Today's rituals and your day count, on your home screen, in your colors. TRY IT FREE After setup, choose how you start: Bloom+ with a 3-day free trial, including unlimited chat with your partner, or a single Challenge Pass for one challenge, with no subscription at all. WHO BLOOM IS FOR Anyone starting a 75 soft challenge, a 75 day challenge, a winter arc, a that girl routine or a glow up challenge, or just trying to make a daily routine stick: gym, skincare, study, sleep, water, journalling, screen time. In English, Deutsch and Français. 75 days. One challenge. Someone who checks. Support: riekapps@gmail.com Privacy: https://riekapps.com/bloom/privacy-policy
