Bloom update: new HRT tools, emotional support features, and a full medication database
Source: Dev.to
I’ve been deep in developing Bloom lately, and constantly having new ideas, so this update brings some of the biggest improvements so far. This release strengthens the core tools and adds a brand‑new searchable HRT medication database.
Smarter, more flexible HRT tools
- 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
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
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
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

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