Becord - The Next Generation of Recording Tool (get insight from AI!) I'm full of doubts about my life: I don't know how many glasses of water I drink a day and how many times I go to the restroom. I don't remember how often I get mouth ulcers and how often I argue with my family. Those things do happen, no matter how frequent it is-- multiple times a day, once in a few days or even once in months. In the past, some apps could record and analyze one specific thing (such as drinking water) but could not do anything else, and they were too complicated and heavy. Becord allows you to track every big and small things in your life. You can record them when they happen and check the frequency, statistical analysis and historical records, etc. "Multiple Tracking Item Types" Tracking everything in four different ways: Normal tracking, option tracking, numerical tracking and time range tracking. "Easy Recording" Simply tap the tracking item to complete a recording and customize gestures. "Block Diagram" Referring to the well-known "Commit Log" in the technology industry, we use small squares so you can intuitively view the frequency and the trend of incidents in the past month, quarter or even a year. "Data Chart" See different sides of things with pie charts, column charts, etc. At the same time, Becord also has basic self-cultivation in "making a trustworthy APP". "Super small memory usage" The size is only 2M, which is smaller than a picture. "Confidential" Becord does not send requests to any third-party servers except to iCloud, and Becord itself does not collect any data, all your data is kept locally and in your iCloud documents "No Ads" No advertisement is built in because Becord neither shares any data to third parties nor makes network requests outside of iCloud. "Manageable Data " You can import and export record source data anytime and anywhere. Your data only belong to yourself. Mouth ulcers used to trouble me a lot. I was wondering how often I had them and how long they would last. At the time there was no tool that allowed me to record it, and this is why I started to develop Becord.

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.
