Bloom
pastel planner
A softer way to plan.
Bloom is a soft, pastel personal planner: a calm home desk, a planner for your todos, a pinboard of sticky notes and a calendar. No accounts, no ads, no tracking — everything stays on your device.
What you get
- A calm home desk: today's thought, your day at a glance and gentle stats
- Plan by category with priorities and due dates, and tick things off as you go
- A pinboard of pastel sticky notes — write, pin, and drag them anywhere
- A calendar for planned days, notes and reminders
- Handwritten touches, paper textures and a charm rail that stays out of your way
- Private and offline: nothing leaves your device
What's new
- Reminder times are set on a proper clock dial — drag or tap the hour and minute, with AM/PM and a number-stepper mode
- The header now shows today at a glance — your to-dos and reminders for the day, one tap away from the Calendar
- The dashboard's line under the greeting now changes with the time of day
- A gentle welcome tour greets you on first launch — four short steps to set up your desk, with notifications yours to allow
- The splash screen is always light now (no black screen in dark mode) and the app opens faster
- Moving between screens is smooth — no more flicker — and the frosted menu drawer's picks land instantly
- Quick Add opens the right page for each option: to-dos, notes or reminders
- Reminders look right now: the notification shows Bloom’s flower instead of a blank square, and fresh installs get a heads-up nudge
- The reminder time is set with a new in-app clock — hour, minute and AM/PM in the app’s own pastel style, no more typing “5:30 PM”
- The menu drawer shows the app version in its footer, and it opens and closes smoothly
- Fixed: the date picker in the planner's add/edit sheet spread its last week of days across the full width — every day now sits under its weekday column
- Fixed: on some phones the calendar's last column (Saturday) could vanish — all seven days now fit on every screen density
- The navigation drawer's contents sit below the status bar
- The mini date pickers in the planner and sticky-note sheets got the same layout hardening
- The header stays put while you scroll, and Back returns you to the home desk from any screen
- The Calendar is kinder: tap a to-do to edit it, “+ Note” opens the sticky creator, and quiet days just say “Nothing planned for the day”
- Reminders notify you properly now, and the app asks gently for permission the first time one is saved
- Sticky notes: watch the paper texture as you create, and edit the photo, file and link too
- Planner tidying: no more rows of 0s, Low / Medium / High without colour names, up to 10 categories (20 characters each) and empty ones can be deleted
- Smaller comforts: a sparkle-only Quick Add ✦, and forms that sit clear of the keyboard instead of filling the screen
- Calendar reminders can be edited now — and the + Reminder form opens again
- Sticky notes carry photos and files, and drag with a springy lift and soft edges
- The + Add Note button stays on screen, and the pinboard only grows with your notes
- Fixed: dragging sticky notes, and forms hiding behind the keyboard
- Calmer, smoother motion throughout
- A settings page: your desk stats, a reduced-motion control, date format and reminder notifications
- New charm-rail navigation on the left — it tucks itself away and slides back the moment you touch the screen
- The calendar now starts on Monday, and reminders actually notify you when they're due
- Sticky notes: press and hold to move them anywhere on the pinboard
- Smoother page transitions — and the keyboard no longer nudges the note sheet around
- Bloom is now a full personal planner — a home desk, a planner, a sticky-note pinboard and a calendar
- Ported pixel for pixel from its design: charm tabs, paper textures, handwritten accents and gentle motion throughout
- Everything still stays on your device — no accounts, no ads, no tracking
- Sticky notes! Tap the 📝 bubble for a pastel Post-it workspace — write, pin and drag notes anywhere you like
- The 📝 bubble floats over the app and remembers where you put it
- Sticky notes are handwritten, and your notes have their own page
- Backups carry your sticky notes too — older backups still import
- Bloom keeps itself current: updates arrive through Google Play — urgent fixes right away, everything else quietly in the background
- The flower splash greets you on every launch
- Fixed: the welcome tour is no longer skipped if you close the app mid-way
- Fresh installs start empty — your lists are yours from the first tap
- Rebuilt on React Native with the original pastel design
- Notes module: pinning, colors, search and a two-column grid
- Checkable subtasks, long-press drag reordering, first-launch onboarding
- AMOLED dark mode, and a lighter, roomier layout throughout
- First build of the rebuilt app: parity UI, notes, AMOLED theme, JSON backup
