Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Bloom is a native Android Org-mode app that edits plain .org files in a user-chosen folder, acting as a mobile companion for Emacs users. It stands out for its non-destructive custom org parser that guarantees byte-identical round-trips, org-capture style templates, home-screen widgets, and Orgzly-compatible search backed by SQLite FTS5. Solid engineering and detailed documentation make it a credible file-first alternative to proprietary note apps.

Target audience: Emacs/org-mode users, mobile knowledge workers, privacy-conscious note-takers
