Bloomly is an iPhone career journal that helps ambitious professionals capture work accomplishments and turn them into performance-review reports, brag docs, resume bullets, and interview stories.

How can I capture work in Bloomly?

Type or speak an entry, forward a praise email or shipped announcement to your private Bloomly address, share screenshots, links, PDFs, and files from another app, upload from the web, connect selected GitHub activity, or import individual Google Drive files through Apple’s Files picker. Everything lands in the same private career record.

How does Bloomly generate performance reports?

Bloomly turns your journal entries and artifacts into polished performance summaries automatically. You choose a date range and cadence (weekly, mid-month, semi-annual, or annual) and Bloomly generates a report with highlights, themes, and talking points. Reports also draw on the working context built from everything you've captured — projects, themes, and ongoing threads — so they know the backstory behind a quarter, not just what happened inside the date range.

How does Connected Work work?

Connect selected GitHub repositories in Settings and assign them to a Role. Bloomly turns your activity into private artifacts without reading source code or diff patches. To add Google Drive files, select them through Apple’s Files picker. Bloomly imports only those files, without background scanning or ongoing Drive account access. These are Pro features; disconnect GitHub or delete imported artifacts whenever you want.

Can I keep my day job and founder work separate?

Yes. Create a Role for each work-life, then assign each connected repository or imported file to the right Role. The resulting artifacts, reports, goals, and history stay organized under that Role instead of blending your job, startup, or side project together.

Is my data private and secure?

Your journal is a private record, not a social feed or manager dashboard. Data is transmitted over HTTPS, Connected Work credentials are encrypted server-side, and Bloomly never sells your personal information. You can disconnect providers, delete artifacts, export your record, or delete your account and data at any time.

Do I get a free trial?

Unlimited typed journaling is free, including one Role, manual tags, streaks, and the calendar heatmap. Eligible new subscribers who choose the annual Pro plan receive a 7-day free trial. The weekly plan has no free trial and is charged immediately.

What if I change my mind?

You can cancel through your Apple ID settings at any time. The App Store shows the terms and cancellation timing for your annual trial. Canceling a subscription does not delete your journal.

What should I lead with in my performance review?

Lead with the work and its impact

Lead with the Guided Setup redesign, Maya. You used Elena Park’s usability findings to cut setup from seven steps to three, brought Marcus Lee’s engineering team through the scope change before freeze, and moved D7 activation from 54% to 68%. Dana Whitfield’s feedback confirms that you drove the launch end to end—not just the roadmap item.

How does Guided Setup show I’ve grown since the checkout launch?

A shift in how you owned the work

In the Spring checkout launch, your record shows strong execution against an agreed plan. On Guided Setup, you challenged the original approach with evidence, aligned Elena and Marcus around a smaller bet, and kept ownership through the activation result. That progression matches the strategic judgment and cross-functional leadership in your Senior PM rubric.

Captured Dana’s recognition that Maya drove the Guided Setup recovery end to end: bringing Design and Engineering to a shared scope, making the tradeoff clear, and staying accountable through launch. This preserves feedback about the contribution behind the shipped feature, not just the fact that it shipped.

Illustrative report

Performance summary

Your strongest thread this period is turning an ambiguous onboarding problem into a focused release with a measurable result. Guided Setup moved from a seven-step concept to a three-step experience, shipped before launch freeze, and improved D7 activation from 54% to 68% in the sample dashboard. The work also captures how you made the decision: using research, narrowing scope with peers, and staying accountable after delivery.

Product judgment. The launch brief and decision entry show why the smaller flow was a deliberate scope choice. You preserved the research-backed changes needed for launch and deferred the rest, giving Engineering a clearer target without losing the onboarding objective.

Cross-functional leadership. You connected Elena’s usability findings with Marcus’s delivery constraints. Dana’s feedback credits the end-to-end alignment, adding evidence of influence and coordination that the merged pull request alone cannot show.

Review narrative

I led the Guided Setup redesign from a disputed seven-step concept to a focused three-step launch. I used Elena’s research to challenge the original scope, worked with Marcus’s engineering team to agree on a smaller first release, and kept the work moving through launch freeze. After delivery, I followed the activation result rather than treating shipment as the finish line. D7 activation rose from 54% to 68%; Dana’s feedback recognized the cross-functional ownership behind the launch.

Growth read

Compared with the Spring checkout launch described in your reflection, this record shows a move from executing agreed scope toward shaping the direction of the work. You used evidence to make a tradeoff, aligned peers around that choice, and kept ownership through the result. That is a concrete example to discuss against your Senior PM expectations; it is not a promotion decision on its own.

Growth opportunity

Make the decision process easier to repeat. For the next launch, agree on the success metric and scope criteria before implementation, record what was deferred, and schedule the post-launch readout. This would make your judgment easier for teammates to follow and give your next review a clearer link between the decision, delivery, and outcome.

Top wins

Bloomly · sample answer

Your private Senior PM record already links the Pricing & Packaging brief, Noor Shah’s research, Devon Brooks’s launch feedback, the 11% annual-plan lift, and your earlier checkout work. Bloomly sees the pattern: you moved from executing an agreed checkout plan to using customer evidence to set packaging direction, align Finance and Engineering through tradeoffs, and own the result after launch.
