Beginner's guide

How Bloom works

A calm, step-by-step walkthrough. No tech skills needed — if you can tap a square, you can use Bloom.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Tap Sign in at the top right. Enter your email and pick a password (at least 6 characters). No email confirmation needed — you're straight in.

    • Use an email you check often, in case you ever forget your password.
  2. 2

    Open your calendar

    After signing in, you'll land on Calendar. Each square is one day. Today is highlighted. Move between months with the arrows at the top of the calendar.

  3. 3

    Log a period day

    Tap the day your period started. A panel slides in. Tap 'Not a period day' once so it turns into 'Period day', then pick a flow: light, medium, heavy or spotting. Tap Save.

    • Log each day of bleeding, not just the first day — that's how Bloom learns your rhythm.
    • You can go back and add past days at any time.
  4. 4

    Add symptoms and mood

    On any day (period or not) tap symptoms like cramps, headache or bloating, and pick a mood. Add a short note if you want to remember something. Tap Save.

  5. 5

    Read the calendar colours

    A filled pink dot = a period day you logged. A dashed circle = a predicted future period. A soft peach circle = your fertile window. An underline = a day you logged something other than a period.

  6. 6

    See your insights

    Tap Insights in the top menu. You'll see your average cycle length, next expected period, fertile window and patterns in your symptoms — all worked out from what you've logged.

    • Log at least 2 full periods before insights become accurate.
  7. 7

    Ask the AI anything

    On the Insights page, type a question like 'Why am I so tired this week?' or 'When is my next period?'. Bloom answers using your own logs, and shows exactly which days it used.

  8. 8

    Share with a doctor or partner

    Tap Share at the top of Insights. Choose Doctor or Partner, then send the link on WhatsApp or copy it. The link works for 7 days and shows a clean summary — no login needed for them.

    • Nothing you log is shared until you tap Share yourself.
  9. 9

    Turn on gentle reminders

    Tap Settings → Reminders. Switch on the ones you want (period approaching, PMS window, log nudge). They pop up in your browser only — no emails, no spam.

Common questions

I tapped the wrong day. How do I undo it?
Scroll down on the Calendar page to "Logged entries", find the day and tap the pencil to edit or the bin to delete.
Can other people see my data?
No. Your logs are private to your account. A share link only exists if you create one, and it expires after 7 days.
What if I forget to log a day?
No problem. Open the calendar, tap that past day and log it. Bloom will update your predictions.
Do I need to pay?
No. Bloom is free to use.
