How does Bloom work?
Three steps. No willpower required.
The Bloom app showing Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Reddit selected as distractions, with Messages always allowed.
Real friction
What makes Bloom different?
Most screen time apps can be bypassed by pressing “ignore” or “extend.” Bloom is different. It lets you leave the “key” to your distractions behind, adding real friction so you stay focused.

Why Howie partners with Bloom
Howie Mandel
TV icon & mental health advocate
Howie Mandel has spent decades speaking openly about living with ADHD and using his platform to advocate for mental health long before it was mainstream. Now he's teaming up with Bloom to take on the attention struggle millions face every day: screen-time addiction. One tap of a physical card locks your most distracting apps.
“The Bloom app and card was one of the best purchases I could have made for myself. The system of having a separate card is SOOO smart. I would definitely recommend it and the app is VERY user friendly.”

The bloom card is one of the best tools I've used for my screen time. It was easy to set up, works every time, and adds enough friction to stop me from using distracting apps. The physical part makes it way harder to cave in a weak moment. If you actually care about focus or being more present, it's worth it.
“This card is an actual game changer. I was getting 8-10 hours a day on social media. Don't ask me how. Fully addicted. Always reaching for my phone. Productivity and motivation absolutely destroyed. Easily distracted. Life felt gray. I reduced my scrolling to an hour or less a day with this product and life is so much better. I feel alive again. Capable of achieving my goals. My girlfriend is happy because I help out around the house more. I'm happy because my love and attraction for her has tangibly increased. If you're struggling with iPhone addiction, you need this product.”

“I've tried other app blockers that require physically tapping an object to get full accessibility. This is hands down the most user friendly. I like that there are 5 minute breaks. It's long enough to look something up without having to unblock my phone and get distracted for 45 minutes. After just a few days of using it, I don't reach for my phone at the first moment of boredom or feelings that I want to avoid. I'm calmer, more energetic, and significantly more present *even when my phone isn't blocked* bc it's helped me break my screen addiction.”

“I was so sick of knowing I had an addiction to my phone and the internet, I could hear my inner voice yelling to stop as I was sucked into scrolling or picking up my phone first thing in the morning. I'd wish that my phone could just text/make calls, play music/books, take photos and give directions but without the access to anything else. No scrolling, no constant news cycle, no dopamining in the worst way. I would lose hours and hours to it. I now have my phone set up to only allow the things I actually want access to and I can feel my brain coming back into its creative power. This is such a helpful tool. It is pricey but I choose to think of it as a one time purchase medicine to help my brain.”

For parents, students, or anyone who is struggling with screen time in general, I would highly recommend this product!!! It actually works as advertised. Give it a go yourself, try it and see if it works for your lifestyle. It did for mine!
“I have so much time returned to me when I use bloom since the card gives me time to think about my choices. The auto block is particularly useful so that my phone usage automatically changes depending on the day. Amazing for sleep routines!”

“I'm a nursing mom and sometimes when I would nurse my baby to sleep I would get caught doom scrolling and the next thing I knew it had been a couple hours. Well not anymore. I have so much more free time by just not being on my phone. I'm so much more present too.”

Our story
As seen on Shark Tank.
Bloom started in a UCLA dorm room — and somehow made it all the way to Shark Tank.
We were fed up with how much time our phones were stealing. Screen Time and productivity apps didn’t help because we always found a way around them.
Bloom wasn’t meant to be a company. It was just a fix for ourselves and our friends. But when we saw how well it worked, we turned down our internships and drained our savings to build it for real.
Now, Bloom is helping tens of thousands of people reclaim their time.
And we’re just getting started.

FAQ

Still have questions?
Our team replies within 1 business day.
What if I lose my card?
We get it, mistakes happen! You get three emergency exits to instantly unblock all of your apps, and you get an additional one every month.
Why use a physical card?
We found that creating physical distance from our devices was the best way to avoid distractions. Software solutions, like Apple Screen Time, helped but always had a “skip” option, making it easy to override limits. With a physical device, if it’s not close by, you don’t have the “key” to your distractions, so you stay focused.
Can I block apps without my card?
Yes. Tap “Activate Focus” in the app to start a focus session without your card.
Is Bloom available on Android?
Yes! Bloom works on both iPhone and Android.
Is the app free?
Yes! No hidden fees or subscriptions. Your purchase includes lifetime access to every feature in the app.
Can’t I just delete Bloom?
By default, deleting Bloom will unblock all of your apps. You can turn on “strict mode” in settings, which prevents apps from being deleted during a focus session.
What is the difference between the Card and the Pod?
They work the same way with the same app. The Card is slim enough for your wallet. The Pod is a magnetic base that lives in one spot, like your fridge or nightstand, so unlocking means getting up and walking to it. Want both? The Bloom Set pairs one of each for $69.
