For Mobile Engineers

For mobile engineers who design screen flows before they build them.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns whiteboard photos into structured summaries and action plans in ten seconds — built on the same VisionKit and on-device intelligence that powers the best iPhone apps. For mobile engineers, that means navigation architecture, screen flow diagrams, and platform-specific decisions get documented from the source.

Download on the App Store Free to start. Pro from $9.99/mo or $69.99/yr.

What hurts today

Screen flow and navigation architecture diagrams drawn in a session look different in every engineer's mental model when it comes time to implement
iOS-vs-Android parity discussions at the whiteboard generate clear decisions that get lost between the session and the ticket
App state management sessions — navigation state, session state, offline state — produce clear whiteboard models that get implemented inconsistently
Deep link schema and push notification routing diagrams sketched in a session become the most misremembered part of the architecture
App store submission prep — release checklist, what's shipping, what's cut — happens in a meeting with a whiteboard and gets tracked in four different places
Performance investigation sessions that start with a diagram of where the bottleneck is lose their original diagnostic framing by the time a fix is shipping

How BoardSnap helps

Snap a navigation architecture session and get a written description of the screen hierarchy, deep link schema, and open platform questions — the first draft of your architecture doc
iOS/Android parity decision boards produce a structured comparison of platform-specific choices — what ships the same, what diverges, and why
App state management diagrams produce a written spec of the state model — transitions, persistence strategy, offline behavior — that prevents divergent implementations
Release planning boards produce a structured go/no-go list with subtasks — exactly what needs to happen before the binary goes up
Brand-aware AI writes summaries using your app's terminology — your screen names, your module structure, your platform-specific conventions
Pin your app's architecture overview so every future board chat already knows your navigation pattern, your data layer, and your platform targets

A day with BoardSnap

Navigation architecture
Draw the screen graph — tab bar, modal flows, deep links, push notification destinations. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured description of the navigation architecture with open questions flagged — the source for your navigation spec.
Feature design session
Sketch the feature's screens, the state transitions, and the API calls. Snap. The written description covers the user flow, the data requirements, and the edge cases — ready for your sprint ticket.
Platform decision
Map what's platform-specific — iOS-native components, Android material patterns, shared business logic. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured comparison that becomes the platform strategy section of your architecture doc.
Release planning
Write the release checklist on the board — what's shipping, what's cut, what needs a flag, what needs a test plan. Snap. BoardSnap outputs a structured go/no-go list ready to share with QA and product.
Performance triage
Sketch the call graph, the suspect rendering path, or the memory timeline on the board. Snap. BoardSnap captures the diagnostic framing and the hypotheses as structured action items — the investigation plan you can assign and track.

Features that matter for mobile engineers

Screen flow diagram reading

BoardSnap AI reads screen graph diagrams — nodes for screens, arrows for navigation transitions, labels for triggers and conditions. It produces a written description of the navigation flow that serves as a spec.

Brand-aware AI

Paste your app's documentation URL, your internal wiki, or your SDK reference. BoardSnap AI learns your screen names, your API naming, and your module vocabulary — summaries reference your actual app architecture.

Offline queue

Mobile engineers know offline states better than anyone. BoardSnap queues board captures on-device and syncs when signal returns — because the best whiteboard sessions happen in server rooms and conference basements.

Projects per app or platform

Separate projects for iOS and Android, or for different app features. Each project has isolated board history and pinned context — your tvOS architecture boards don't mix with your iOS navigation boards.

Auto-generated subtasks

High-level implementation items auto-generate into concrete tasks: implement the screen, write the navigation logic, add the deep link handler, write the unit test. Scoped to individual engineering work.

Frequently asked

Can BoardSnap read a screen flow diagram with states and transitions?

Yes. BoardSnap AI reads screen graph diagrams — screen nodes, navigation arrows, transition triggers, and modal/push distinctions. It produces a structured written description of the navigation flow and the transition conditions.

Is BoardSnap itself useful for mobile engineers specifically (beyond the generic use case)?

BoardSnap is built on iOS — it uses Apple's VisionKit for perspective correction and on-device processing. Mobile engineers appreciate the technical craft in the app as much as the utility. It's a good example of what VisionKit can do in production.

Can I use BoardSnap for sprint planning specific to mobile features?

Yes. Mobile sprint planning boards — screens to build, APIs to integrate, platform-specific tasks — produce structured task lists with subtasks when snapped. The output maps well to iOS/Android ticket scoping.

How does the brand-aware AI help for mobile teams?

Paste your app's documentation, your internal architecture wiki, or your SDK guide URL. BoardSnap AI learns your app's screen names, your API naming conventions, and your platform-specific terminology — so summaries reference your actual app, not generic mobile concepts.

What's the best use case for mobile engineers on the free plan?

Free includes one project and 30 boards — enough for a focused feature area or a single app's architecture boards. Pro unlocks unlimited projects and AI chat, which is where the persistent context value is for mobile teams with multiple feature areas.

Built for mobile engineers who ship.

Snap a whiteboard. Ship the action plan. In ten seconds.
