About

Yearbloom

Read full description

Where did the year go? When every week looks like the last, your brain has nothing to hold onto, so time collapses. The science is clear: we measure a life in firsts, not in days. New, novel moments are what make a stretch of time feel long, full, and yours. Yearbloom is a gentle answer to that quiet panic. Once on your chosen rhythm, Yearbloom hands you one small, hand-picked mission, a nudge toward something new. Say yes to the invitation you’d normally skip. Take the long way home. Learn a stranger’s name. Nothing huge, nothing that eats your day. Just one first, on purpose. When you live it, you keep it. A photo, a line, a rating. A small keepsake that takes ten seconds and lasts all year. Then Yearbloom gives it back to you. Every month, your moments return as a cinematic recap, the story of a month you actually felt. Watch how you grew. See where your life got wider. WHAT MAKES YEARBLOOM DIFFERENT • Missions written by humans, not generated by AI. Curated, warm, and safe. • Choose your pace: weekly, a couple a week, or every few days. Never a guilt-trip. • No streaks that shame you, no endless feed, no noise. • Your moments are private and always yours to keep. Yearbloom isn’t another productivity app. It’s a quieter one, built to make this year impossible to forget. 7 days free. Then $39.99/year, $5.99/month, or $99 for a lifetime.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlashInvaders at none against Yearbloom's 3. FlashInvaders also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Yearbloom's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
