Hello everyone 👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
Today’s Bloom update is a small one. This update makes the app feel more grounded, more intentional, and more aligned with the values Bloom was built on: privacy, clarity, and gentle support for people navigating their HRT journey.
Here’s what changed.
Bloom
🌼 1. A More Helpful Help Page
Bloom has grown a lot over the past year — TrackMyHRT, the Journal, Cycle Tracker, Voice Trainer, HRT Tools, and more. That’s a lot of moving parts, especially for new users who might already be overwhelmed. and i want to improve navigating bloom as much as i can.
So I rebuilt the Help page.
It now includes a full walkthrough of each section of the app, what it’s for, and how to use it. Instead of a simple overview, it’s now a guided, friendly tutorial that helps users feel oriented and supported from the moment they open Bloom.
This is a big step toward making Bloom a dependable, trust worthy tool.
🌸 2. Clearer Messaging About Who Bloom Is For
Bloom has always been designed with people on HRT journeys in mind — but the app didn’t always say that clearly.
This update refreshes the welcome message and other key text throughout the app to reflect Bloom’s true purpose:
a supportive, private space for people tracking their HRT, their cycles, their voice, and their emotional journey.
It still welcomes everyone, but it now speaks directly to the people it was built for. That clarity matters.
🔐 3. Removing the PIN Lock (And Why)
This was an oversight mainly but i am looking into it
Bloom used to include an optional PIN lock feature. After revisiting it, I realized there was no safe, privacy‑respecting way to support PIN recovery without requiring accounts, cloud storage, or personal data — all things Bloom intentionally avoids.
So I removed it completely.
Discreet Mode and Quick Exit remain as the primary privacy tools, and they continue to work without storing or transmitting any personal information. This keeps Bloom aligned with its core belief: your data stays with you, and only you.
💊 4. Multi‑Medication Support for HRT Regimens
This is the biggest functional upgrade in this update.
HRT regimens in Bloom can now include multiple medications instead of just one. That means a single regimen can reflect real‑world setups like:
• Estradiol
• Spironolactone
• Progesterone
…all grouped together under one routine.
This required updates across the app:
• A new database structure that supports medication lists
• A redesigned Regimens UI for adding/editing/removing individual meds
• Built‑in templates for common HRT medications
• Updated backend logic to handle the new data model
This makes TrackMyHRT far more accurate and flexible — and it opens the door for future features around dose tracking, reminders, and long‑term use.
🌿In Closing
This update is all about alignment — making Bloom clearer in its purpose, safer in its design, and more supportive in the ways that matter most.
As always, Bloom remains fully local, fully private, and built with care for the people who may find it useful.
If you’re using Bloom and have thoughts, ideas, or accessibility needs, I’d love to hear from you. Your feedback shapes the future of this project more than anything else. I'm still working on figuring out a way to do detailed tutorial and update videos on my YT channel, I still cant stand my own voice.
