A fuller year, one moment at a time.

Your life didn’t speed up. It stopped leaving marks. Yearbloom hands you one small, memorable thing to live, then keeps it, until your ordinary weeks become a year you can actually feel.

Every mission written by people, grounded in the science of memory. No AI.

Good evening, Maya.
Small, new, and worth keeping. That’s the whole idea.

The quiet problem

Where did the year go?

Modern days are built for efficiency, and the brain obliges: most of what we do runs on autopilot. Days that repeat leave almost no trace, so memory files them as one. In hindsight, a whole month can feel like a weekend.

The fix isn’t doing more. It’s doing something new, on purpose, and keeping it.

~88%

of daily actions are run by habit, most triggered automatically by your surroundings, not by choice. Autopilot is the default state of an adult day.

firsts

not days, are the unit memory uses to measure time. A year rich in firsts feels long; a year of repeats evaporates.

How it works

Three small moves, on repeat.

No feed. No streak to protect. No blank page to fill. Just a gentle loop that leaves marks on your year.

Six sides of a life

A year with color in every corner.

Missions are drawn across six life areas, so growth doesn’t all pull in one direction. You tell Yearbloom where you feel thin; it leans there gently.

Social

The small brave hellos, the friendships you keep meaning to tend.

A mission might be“Give one honest compliment to a stranger today.”

Body

Moving, resting, being in your body instead of just carrying it.

A mission might be“Take the long way home and notice five things.”

Mind

Curiosity for its own sake, the things you keep meaning to learn.

A mission might be“Learn to say one full sentence in a new language.”

Adventure

The new street, the unfamiliar dish, the small leap out of the usual.

A mission might be“Order the dish you can’t pronounce.”

Craft

Making something with your hands, however small or imperfect.

A mission might be“Sketch the view from your window, badly.”

Meaning

Kindness, gratitude, the moments that quietly matter most.

A mission might be“Tell someone exactly why you’re grateful for them.”
Why it works

Built on how memory keeps time.

Time perception isn’t a clock in your head, it’s rebuilt from memory. Repetition quietly fades; novelty lays down a denser, richer trace. So months full of new, felt moments last longer in hindsight, the “holiday paradox.” Yearbloom uses that one lever, on purpose.

Deliberate novelty, kept small

One new, slightly-uncomfortable prompt, calibrated to you and under a minute. Enough to leave a mark, never enough to feel like a chore.

Near-zero friction to keep it

Capture costs seconds, not minutes. Approve a moment, don’t write an essay. The blank page is what kills every journaling habit.

Forgiving momentum, no guilt

No streaks that reset to zero, no nagging, no feed. The reward is the memory and the recap, never a score to protect.

What you get to keep

Small moments, stacked into a life.

Not more days. Fuller ones. Everything you live gathers into a warm archive that’s yours forever, colored by the parts of life it came from.

“

I turned thirty and realised I couldn’t remember most of my twenties. Not because nothing happened, but because so many weeks looked alike that my memory quietly filed them as one. That scared me. Yearbloom is the thing I wish I’d had: a small, kind nudge to go live one new thing, and a warm place to keep it. No streaks to guilt you, no feed to lose an evening to. Just proof, week by week, that you were here, and you were living.

FAQ

Good questions.

Everything else before your first mission.

At the pace you choose: weekly, a couple a week, or every few days. Rare enough to feel special, frequent enough to add up. Change it anytime in settings.
Swap it, no guilt, and you’ll get another from the same comfort level. Missing one is fine too; nothing resets.
No. Every mission is hand-written by our team. We match them to your life with simple rules, but a person wrote each one you’ll ever see.
The opposite. No daily pressure, no feed, no nagging. Just a gentle nudge and a warm place to keep what you lived.
Your first 7 days are free, everything unlocked. After that it’s $39.99/year (about $3.33 a month), $5.99/month, or $99.99 once for lifetime. Cancel anytime; your archive is always yours.
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. The app follows your device language by default, and every mission is translated by hand, not machine. You can switch anytime in settings.

You’ll never get this year back. Make it one you remember.

Terms & Privacy

Last updated July 12, 2026

The short version: your first 7 days are free, your moments belong to you, and we collect as little as we can. The full version is below, in plain language.

01 The agreement

By downloading or using Yearbloom, you agree to these terms. Yearbloom is offered by the Yearbloom team as a personal reflection and memory app. If you don’t agree with something here, please don’t use the app.

You need to be at least 13 years old to use Yearbloom. If you’re between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you should have a parent or guardian read this with you.

02 Your account

You sign in with a magic link or a social login. You’re responsible for keeping access to your email or connected account secure. Let us know quickly if you think someone else has access to your account.

03 What Yearbloom costs

Yearbloom starts with a 7-day free trial, everything unlocked. After the trial it’s a subscription: $39.99/year, $5.99/month, or a one-time $99.99 lifetime. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled, and you can cancel anytime from your Apple account settings. Whatever you’ve saved stays yours to keep and view.

04 Your content is yours

The moments, photos, notes and voice memos you add are your content. You own them. We don’t claim any ownership, and we don’t sell them or use them to train advertising models.

  • You can export or delete your content at any time.
  • Deleting your account removes your moments from our systems within 30 days.
  • We only access individual content when you explicitly ask for support.

05 The missions

Missions are gentle suggestions written by our team. They’re meant for everyday reflection and small, safe steps outside your routine. Use your judgment. Yearbloom is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or professional advice, and you’re responsible for your own safety and choices when acting on a mission.

06 Being decent

Please don’t use Yearbloom to harm yourself or others, to break the law, or to interfere with the app for other people. We may suspend accounts that do.

07 Privacy, in plain terms

We believe the best data policy is to collect less. Here’s what we do and don’t do.

What we collect

  • Your email or social login identifier, to sign you in.
  • The moments and settings you create, so the app works and syncs.
  • Your language preference, so the app, emails and missions arrive in the language you chose.
  • Basic, anonymized usage signals to fix bugs and improve the app.
  • Your device’s push token, if you turn notifications on, so we can send them.
  • Your App Store purchase identifiers, if you buy Yearbloom+, so your purchase stays attached to your account across devices and reinstalls.
  • Your IP address, briefly, when you ask for a sign-in link or send us a message. It is counted, not stored against you, and it is deleted within a couple of days. It is the only thing standing between our sign-in email and anyone who wants to abuse it.
  • If you accept them on the website, Meta’s advertising cookies, so we can tell which ads brought people here.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t sell your personal data. Ever.
  • We don’t let advertisers see your moments, photos, notes or voice memos.
  • We don’t read your private moments unless you ask us to for support.

Your photos and notes are stored encrypted, and sync is protected in transit. You stay in control of what you keep and what you delete.

08 Email we send you

Once you have an account, Yearbloom emails you a sign-in link whenever you ask for one, plus a short set of messages about your own missions and your monthly recap. Each of those carries a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can switch every kind off in Settings. Sign-in links are the exception, because they only ever arrive in the moment you asked to sign in.

We never buy, rent, scrape or import mailing lists, and we never sell or share your address. Addresses that bounce or report us as spam are suppressed automatically and never hear from us again.

09 Who else touches your data

We do not run our own datacentre, so a few companies process parts of Yearbloom on our behalf. They are contractually bound to handle it only for us, and none of them may use it for their own purposes.

All of them process data in the United States. If you are writing to us from outside it, that means your data crosses a border to reach us.

  • Amazon Web Services, which stores your account, your moments and your media.
  • SendGrid (Twilio), which delivers every email we send you.
  • Apple, which handles sign-in with Apple, push notifications, and any purchase you make.
  • Meta, only if you accept advertising cookies on this website. Nothing about your moments is ever sent there.

10 Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can do most of this yourself in the app, or email us and we’ll help. We honor requests under the GDPR, the CCPA, and Brazil’s LGPD.

11 Changes

If we update these terms in a meaningful way, we’ll let you know in the app or by email before the changes take effect. Continuing to use Yearbloom after that means you accept the update.

Questions about anything here? We’re real people and happy to answer. Reach us at hello@yearbloom.app or open the contact form.
