For Product Designers

For product designers who sketch features before they build them.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns a whiteboard photo into a structured summary and action plan in ten seconds. For product designers, it's the missing step between a great ideation session and an actual Figma file — a clean artifact that captures what you decided before you start building.

What hurts today

Concept exploration sessions produce six different sketched directions on a board and zero written record of what you decided to pursue and why
Feature design sessions with PMs generate shared understanding in the room and misalignment two days later when the Figma comes out
Design review feedback gets delivered verbally and written on the board — and then half of it doesn't make it into the revision list
Handoff docs get written from memory instead of from the actual source — the whiteboard where the decisions were made
Component decision sessions for design systems produce verbal consensus that evaporates before the token is named
Cross-functional alignment sessions — design, PM, eng all at the board — generate clear decisions that somehow every team member remembers differently

How BoardSnap helps

Snap a feature exploration session and get a written summary of each concept direction plus a clear action list of what to prototype and what to kill
Design review boards become structured feedback lists — critique items categorized by design area, flagged as open for revision
Cross-functional whiteboard sessions produce a shared written record everyone in the room signed off on — no post-meeting misalignment
Design system decision boards capture the rationale — why this component was built this way, what alternatives were rejected, what's still open
Brand-aware AI writes summaries in your product's design language — your component names, your design principles, your vocabulary
Pin your design principles or design system overview so every future board chat already knows the constraints you're working within

A day with BoardSnap

Feature kickoff
You, the PM, and the engineer at the board. Sketch the problem, the constraints, and three possible directions. Snap. Everyone leaves with the same written summary — the divergence begins in execution, not in understanding.
Concept exploration
Six rough sketches of potential solutions. Labels and annotations on each. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured description of each direction plus action items for the concepts worth prototyping.
Design critique
Annotations, arrows, and feedback bullets on the board around the printed design. Snap. The revision list generates automatically — open items for each feedback point, organized by design area.
Handoff prep
Sketch the interaction logic, state transitions, and edge cases. Snap. Use the summary as the basis for your handoff spec — the written description complements your Figma annotations.
Design system session
Map the component hierarchy, the token decisions, and the open questions. Snap. BoardSnap captures the reasoning alongside the decisions — not just what you decided, but why.

Features that matter for product designers

Brand-aware AI

Paste your product's design system URL or your Figma component library page. BoardSnap AI learns your component names, design principles, and product language — summaries reference your actual design vocabulary.

Sketch and annotation reading

BoardSnap AI reads annotated layouts, sketched wireframes, and feedback arrows alongside written text. It produces integrated summaries that describe both the visual structure and the written content of the board.

Pinned context

Pin your design principles, current sprint goals, or design system overview. BoardSnap AI's chat uses this context when you ask follow-up questions against a board — no re-explaining the design constraints.

Projects per product area

Separate projects for different features, products, or clients. Each project has isolated board history and pinned context — your checkout redesign boards don't bleed into your onboarding redesign boards.

Auto-generated subtasks

High-level action items like 'prototype the second concept' become concrete subtasks: create the flow, build the interactive component, schedule the test session. BoardSnap breaks the work down so you can scope it.

Frequently asked

Can BoardSnap help with design handoffs to developers?

BoardSnap produces structured written descriptions of interaction logic, state transitions, and design decisions from whiteboard sessions. This complements your Figma file — the 'why' that annotations alone don't always capture.

How does it handle a board with both wireframe sketches and written feedback?

BoardSnap AI reads mixed content — sketched layouts with annotations, feedback bullets alongside drawn components, and spatial relationships between elements. It integrates the visual and written content into a single structured summary.

Is BoardSnap useful for design systems work specifically?

Yes — component hierarchy diagrams, token decision matrices, and naming discussions are exactly the kind of structured whiteboard content BoardSnap handles well. The 'why we decided this' context is what design systems most often lack, and BoardSnap captures it.

Can I use BoardSnap to document cross-functional alignment sessions?

Yes. Snap the board at the end of a design + PM + engineering whiteboard session. Everyone gets the same structured summary — shared understanding is documented at the source, not reconstructed from separate notes.

What's the workflow for using BoardSnap alongside Figma?

Sketch → snap → get structured summary → use summary to write Figma annotations, spec text, and handoff notes. BoardSnap sits before Figma in the workflow, capturing the reasoning that Figma files rarely contain.
