Why recommend the Bloom app blocker? – Calverley

Secondly, few people are aware of the benefits of app blockers. Many of us are increasingly spending far too much time on our smartphones, doom-scrolling through social media or checking work emails and messages late into the night, at weekends or when we should be relaxing. While we love our phones, they can have a negative impact on our wellbeing – there are plenty of expert reports that evidence this.

The Bloom app blocker is a simple keycard and app that allows you to set your preferences to block distractions during leisure time or during the working day. Once set up, you simply tap the card on your phone to block or unblock selected apps and social media. You can leave the card at home (beyond temptation) or pop it in your wallet or bag. It’s worth noting that the app allows you to take short breaks if you discover you need urgent access to an app that you’ve blocked.

What type of clients is Bloom ideal for? To date, we’ve found that the product has been embraced in high-pressure sectors such as technology, professional services and financial services. Many of these large organisations have proactive wellbeing programmes to ensure their employees enjoy a good work-life balance. This means your target clients can include HR professionals as well as marketing and event managers.
