Beat procrastination with AI micro-steps
TinyStart breaks any task into tiny starts, runs adaptive focus cycles, and nudges you with science-backed prompts.
Tiny starts, instantly
Type a task, get 1–3 minute starter steps. No overthinking.
Adaptive focus cycles
Timers that flex to your energy using data from your sessions.
Live Activities
Lock-screen timers, haptics, and gentle nudges while you work.
Backed by behavioral science
Implementation intentions
TinyStart helps you set clear, actionable plans for when and how you'll tackle tasks. By prompting you to specify the next tiny step and when you'll do it, the app leverages proven strategies to make re-entry into work easier and more automatic.
Behavioral activation
Instead of waiting for motivation, TinyStart nudges you to take immediate, low-effort actions. This approach is rooted in clinical psychology and helps break the cycle of avoidance, making it easier to get started even when you feel stuck.
Timeboxing & the Zeigarnik effect
By encouraging short, focused work sessions (timeboxing), TinyStart taps into the Zeigarnik effect—our tendency to remember unfinished tasks. This builds momentum and makes it easier to keep going, even after a tiny start.
