Bloom has a free version that gives you the core tools to start tracking family life, your wellbeing and the small admin that piles up — with no credit card required and no time limit. It's designed as a gentle introduction: enough to feel the benefit, with room to grow when you're ready.
What you get on Bloom Free
Family Log — log & calendar view The heart of Bloom. Record which parent the children spent the night with using the simple midnight rule. View your care calendar and see patterns emerge over weeks and months. Export to PDF or CSV is a premium feature — on the free plan you keep the full log and calendar view for your own records.
My Diary — basic journal & calendar view A private space to write about your day, your feelings, or anything you want to remember. Entries are timestamped and organised in a calendar view so you can scroll back and see how far you've come. It's your personal journal, not shared with anyone.
Mood trackers Tiny daily check-ins for you and your kids. Tap a mood, add a sentence if you want, and watch patterns build over time. Mood tracking is one of the most loved parts of Bloom — and it's included free.
Life Admin — basic calendar & limited tracking Keep appointments, bills and tasks in one calm view. The free version gives you a basic calendar and limited tracking so the week ahead is always visible. Upgrade for deeper finance tools, debt pay-off tracking and shared co-parenting expense splits.
Save up to 10 favourites Bookmark the articles, resources and support services you return to most. Ten favourites is plenty to build your personal go-to library inside Bloom.
Daily check-ins & mood tracking Beyond the mood tracker, free users get daily wellbeing prompts — small nudges to notice how you're travelling. These take under ten seconds and create a valuable picture over time.
Help Near You — find local support services A built-in directory of support services near you — counsellors, legal aid, family support centres, helplines and more. Search by location and service type, and save the ones that matter to your favourites.
