Bloom update: new HRT tools, emotional support features, and a full medication database

I’ve been deep in developing Bloom lately, and constantly having new ideas, so this update brings some of the biggest improvements so far.

Bloom

This release strengthens the core tools and adds a brand‑new searchable HRT medication database.

  1. Smarter, more flexible HRT tools

Bloom’s HRT section now reflects how people actually manage their regimens.

Medication regimen templates for patches, injections, pills, and gel

Custom reminders for dose times, patch changes, injections, and labs

Injection site rotation tracker

Lab result logging with charts

Side‑effect tracking

  1. Journaling & emotional support that adapts to your energy

Transition is emotional and nonlinear, so Bloom’s journaling tools stay gentle and low‑pressure.

Dysphoria/euphoria tags

Transition milestone tracking

Guided prompts, including a low‑energy mode for tough days

  1. Privacy & safety features that assume real‑world risks

Bloom is built for people who can’t always be out or safe.

Quick‑exit button

Optional PIN/biometric lock

Discreet mode to rename or hide the app

  1. New: A searchable HRT medication database

You can now open Medication Database from the sidebar (look for the database icon) to browse clear, accessible info on common HRT medications.

What’s included:

15+ medications

Search by name or purpose

Filters: Estrogen, Anti‑Androgen, Progestin, Testosterone, Other

Each entry includes:

Generic & brand names

Primary use

Administration routes

Common dosage ranges

Side effects & warnings

Key considerations

Prescription status

Covers estradiol (all forms), spironolactone, bicalutamide, progesterone, testosterone (injections, gel, patch), Lupron, and more. A medical disclaimer reminds users to consult their providers.

Want to try Bloom or share feedback?

If any of this speaks to you, I’d love for you to check Bloom out and tell me what you think. It’s still evolving, and community feedback genuinely shapes what I build next. Whether you have ideas, critiques, or thoughts — I would love to hear them.
