A quiet, private journal

Each day, one petal.

slowbloom is an end-to-end-encrypted journal that grows into a flower as you write. Honest with yourself, unreadable to everyone else.

Tap a petal to read it — tap the centre to change the bloom

Entries are encrypted in your browser with a key only you hold. The server stores ciphertext it can never read.

Every entry becomes a petal. Keep writing and your flower grows fuller — a quiet picture of your weeks.

Drop in a photo and it’s encrypted alongside the words. The server can’t open your pictures any more than your text.

More to grow into

Seal a letter to your future self and watch it grow in your garden until it blooms — months or years from now.

Opt in to add a few friends by a flowery name and share a gentle weekly streak. They see that you wrote, never what.

An optional, EU-based helper for prompts and reflections. Off by default, never sent a word unless you ask.

Daisy, rose, tulip, sunflower, or cherry blossom — pick the bloom your writing grows into, a new one each month.

It takes a minute to start, and only you will ever read it.
