Snowballing - Start small
Break tasks into 1-min steps
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snowball is an app designed to help you ease procrastination and difficulty getting started. By combining practical tools with principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it helps you build your own action support system and gradually regain momentum through small, manageable steps—no matter what state you are in.
● What problems can Snowball help with?
When you cannot stop scrolling on your phone, even though there is something important you need to do.
When you have something important to do but do not know where to begin.
When you get stuck, feel overwhelmed, and start wanting to avoid the task.
When you feel too slow or unproductive and begin to doubt whether you are capable.
When you want to achieve a long-term goal but struggle to keep going.
Snowball helps you change the way you see the task, reduce pressure and mental friction, and find one small step you can still take right now—so you can start, continue, and eventually finish.
● What makes Snowball different from similar apps?
Compared with similar apps, Snowball focuses more on the connection between procrastination, difficulty getting started, emotions, and your current state.
Snowball begins with behavioral activation. It uses tools such as task breakdown and SOPs to help you take action immediately, while also helping you understand your own behavioral patterns through features such as state tracking and behavioral experiments.
Snowball is not only designed to help you complete a task once. Through repeated use, it also helps you gradually accept your current state, build real-life evidence, and revise beliefs such as “I cannot do this” or “I am just lazy.”
● What features does Snowball include?
○ Action Activation
Use AI to break difficult tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, making it easier to take the first step.
○ Coping with Difficulties
When you feel stressed, encounter obstacles, or want to avoid the task, Snowball first helps you acknowledge your current emotions, then find one small action you can still take to return to the task.
○ Action Routes
Save repeatable routines that work for you, reduce repeated thinking and decision-making, and make everyday actions easier to start.
○ Behavioral Comparison
Record your state, perceived difficulty, and estimated time before and after taking action. This helps you see the difference between expectation and reality and build real evidence that you are capable.
○ Goal Map
Turn vague long-term goals into clear stages and next actions, so that even after stopping, you can more easily continue again.
● Who is Snowball for?
Snowball is suitable for people who struggle with procrastination, difficulty getting started, perfectionism, low energy, or the feeling that they are not disciplined enough.
You do not need to change yourself all at once. Like rolling a snowball, you only need to accept where you are now, begin with one small step, and gradually regain your ability to take action.
