Question 1

What is Bloom?

Accepted Answer

Bloom is a career journaling app for iOS that helps professionals log daily wins, generate performance reports, and surface smart insights — whether you're preparing for a review, updating your resume, or getting ready for an interview.

Question 2

What is career journaling?

Accepted Answer

Career journaling is the practice of regularly logging your professional accomplishments, projects, feedback, and wins. It helps you build a detailed record for performance reviews, negotiations, interviews, and resume updates — so you never have to scramble for details.

Question 3

How does Bloom generate performance reports?

Accepted Answer

Bloom turns your journal entries into polished performance summaries automatically. You choose a date range and cadence — weekly, mid-month, semi-annual, or annual — and Bloom generates a report with highlights, themes, and talking points you can use in reviews, interviews, or negotiations.

Question 4

What is Period Recap?

Accepted Answer

Period Recap is a multi-card narrative deck Bloom builds at the half-year and year-end. Swipe through your wins, your personality archetype, the growth themes that defined the period, your biggest goals, the challenges you worked through, and a competency map of where you grew most.

Question 5

Can I export reports as PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open any report and use the share sheet to export a polished PDF. Reports also include a Delta Strip showing what's changed since your last cadence and a Year Heatmap that turns every day into a single chronological grid.

Question 6

Can Bloom post to LinkedIn or X?

Accepted Answer

No. Bloom drafts ready-to-post content from your recent entries, but you publish — every draft opens the LinkedIn or X composer pre-filled, and you stay in control of what goes out. You can pick a cadence per platform (off, weekly, biweekly, or monthly) for feed suggestions, or draft one on demand.

Question 7

Does Bloom have dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open Settings → Appearance and pick Light, Dark, or System.

Question 8

Can I use voice to create journal entries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tap the microphone and speak naturally — Bloom transcribes your entry, and you can append additional voice clips to a single entry as the day unfolds.

Question 9

Is my data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced to our encrypted cloud database. All data is transmitted over HTTPS, API keys are stored server-side only, and we never sell or share your personal information. You can delete your account and all data at any time.

Question 10

How much does Bloom cost?

Bloom is free to start. Typed journal entries are unlimited, and Bloom automatically tags your first ten entries by category, skills, and challenge type. Bloom Pro unlocks voice journaling, Reflect, performance reports, Period Recap, LinkedIn and X drafts, salary lookup, and continued automatic tagging — from $12.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 7-day free trial.

Question 11
