Problem
Professionals and teams often meet new contacts at events, conferences, or informal gatherings but lack a fast, reliable way to capture those connections, add contextual notes, and schedule follow‑ups, especially when internet access is limited or unavailable.
Solution
Snowball provides an offline‑first contact management platform that lets users scan business cards, QR codes, or import phone contacts in seconds, with on‑device OCR extracting key details without sending data to the cloud. Users can record voice notes, apply unlimited custom tags, and set two‑tap reminders to ensure timely follow‑up. All captured information is stored locally and synchronizes securely to the cloud only when a network connection is available. Integrated AI drafts personalized outreach messages based on the stored context, while team features enable shared contact pools, role‑based permissions, and activity history for collaborative networking.
Target Audience
Snowball is aimed at sales professionals, founders, recruiters, and any individuals or teams who regularly meet new contacts at conferences, networking events, or spontaneous encounters.
