For Solo Founders

For solo founders who are the whole team.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns a whiteboard photo into a structured summary and action plan in ten seconds. For solo founders, it's the thinking partner who never leaves the room — every strategy session, every product decision, every investor prep board gets documented the moment you cap the marker.

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

What hurts today

You're the CEO, the PM, the designer, and the developer — nobody is taking notes while you're thinking out loud at the whiteboard
Your best ideas happen at 11pm at a whiteboard in your home office, and by morning the nuance is gone
Every week you revisit decisions you made two weeks ago at a board that no longer exists — re-doing the thinking instead of executing on it
Investor prep sessions where you're working through the narrative alone produce clear whiteboard thinking that you can't reconstruct when you're building the deck
The context switching tax is real — switching from product thinking to marketing thinking to fundraising thinking means you need crisp written records or each context starts from scratch
You have no one to blame when the board gets erased and the decision with it

How BoardSnap helps

Snap your solo strategy session and get a structured written summary — decision, rationale, next steps — before you close the laptop
Every board you've snapped lives in the project — you can ask 'what did I decide about pricing three weeks ago?' and get an answer
Brand-aware AI learns your product the moment you paste your URL — every summary reads like it was written by someone who knows your business as well as you do
Investor prep boards produce a written pitch narrative outline you can build the deck from without reconstructing your thinking from memory
Pinned context means every new session already knows where you are — your current strategy, your constraints, your quarterly bets
Offline queue handles late nights, travel, and anywhere else a solo founder thinks and builds

A day with BoardSnap

Morning strategy
Before you open Slack, spend 20 minutes at the whiteboard on the week's hardest problem. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured plan — the decisions you made and the tasks you need to execute — before you start the day.
Product decision
You're deciding between two product directions. Draw the trade-offs — user impact, technical complexity, strategic fit — on the board. Snap. The written summary captures your reasoning at the decision point, not the outcome you're reversing in two weeks.
Customer insight processing
After a customer call, sketch what you heard — the pains, the workarounds, the exact phrases. Snap. BoardSnap organizes the insights into a structured summary — the ICP intel that shapes your next landing page and product priorities.
Investor prep
Build the pitch structure alone at the board — the story, the framing, the hard questions. Snap. BoardSnap produces a written pitch outline that serves as your practice script and the brief your designer executes from.
Weekly review
Map what got done, what's blocked, and what next week looks like. Snap. BoardSnap produces a weekly summary — the founder's equivalent of a team standup, except the team is just you and the record is real.

Features that matter for solo founders

Brand-aware AI

Paste your product URL on day one. BoardSnap AI reads everything — your product copy, your value proposition, your customer language — and writes every future summary in your product's voice. The AI knows your business.

Pinned context

Pin your company strategy, your current OKRs, or your north-star metric. Every new board session already knows where you are — the AI chat gives advice grounded in your actual situation, not generic startup advice.

Projects

Separate projects for product, fundraising, and marketing. Each project has isolated board history and context — no noise between the investor narrative work and the product architecture thinking.

Offline queue

Solo founders build everywhere — home offices, coffee shops, airports. BoardSnap queues every capture on-device and processes when signal returns. The 11pm thinking session gets documented at 11pm, not reconstructed in the morning.

AI chat per project

Ask questions across your entire board history: 'what did I decide about the pricing model?' 'what were the risks I identified in the fundraising strategy session?' The AI synthesizes your own thinking back to you.

Frequently asked

Is BoardSnap useful as a solo thinking tool, not just for meetings?

Yes — and for solo founders, the solo session use case is often more valuable than the meeting capture use case. The board session where you're working through a hard problem alone, at midnight, is exactly the session that most benefits from a clean written record. Snap when you've reached a decision or a clear stopping point.

How does the AI chat work for a solo founder reviewing past decisions?

Every board you've snapped is stored in the project. Ask BoardSnap AI questions against the full project history: 'what were the risks I flagged in my pricing strategy session?' 'what did I decide about the target customer three weeks ago?' It's the memory system solo founders don't otherwise have.

Can it help with the loneliness of solo decision-making?

Genuinely, yes. BoardSnap AI's chat function against your board history lets you pressure-test your thinking — ask follow-up questions, explore the risks you identified, check your reasoning against what you wrote down when the thinking was fresh. It's not a co-founder, but it's a rigorous thinking partner.

What's the free plan like for a solo founder?

Free includes one project and 30 boards — enough to evaluate whether BoardSnap fits your workflow before upgrading. Most solo founders hit the 30-board limit within a month of active use and find the Pro upgrade ($9.99/mo or $69.99/yr) straightforward given the time it saves.

Can I use BoardSnap to capture thinking on a napkin or non-whiteboard surface?

Yes — BoardSnap works on any flat writing surface: whiteboards, paper, napkins, notebooks. VisionKit detects the writing area and corrects the perspective regardless of the medium. 'Whiteboard' is in the name, but the app works wherever you think with a marker.
