Bloom

What is Bloom?

Bloom is a thoughtfully designed tool for managing screen-time distractions. It combines a sleek, stainless-steel NFC keycard with a mobile app to block designated apps and websites. To activate focus mode, tap your phone with the Bloom card. Distractions remain inaccessible until you tap again—creating real-world friction to support digital discipline.

How does Bloom work?

First, choose which apps, websites, or content categories you want to block. Then, set schedules and break limits. When it’s time to focus, tap the Bloom card against your phone to initiate the block. The card acts as a “key”—if you’re tempted by distractions, it requires effort to retrieve the card and regain access, adding mindful deliberation to every session. The app also offers break allowances, emergency exits (limited to three per session), optional Strict Mode (which prevents app uninstallation during focus), usage analytics, and streak tracking.

Bloom works across iOS and Android, supports schedules for start/end times, and keeps screen-time data private on-device. No subscription—just a one-time purchase for the card and full app access.

Why is Bloom helpful for attention?

Digital temptations thrive on convenience—Bloom flips that script. By embedding physical friction in the routine, it disrupts impulsive app use. Rather than swiping past block warnings, users must deliberately decide to break focus. This empowers you to align your screen habits with your intentions, reduce mindless scrolling, and build sustained attention routines.
