For Students

For students who learn at the board and need notes that actually help.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns a whiteboard photo into a structured summary in ten seconds. For students, that means the lecture board, the study group session, and the tutoring session all produce clean readable notes — not a skewed phone photo you're squinting at the night before the exam.

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

What hurts today

The whiteboard photo you take at the end of class is blurry, cropped badly, and missing the professor's explanation that made it make sense
Study group sessions where someone works through a problem on the board produce great content nobody has notes from
You missed class and the classmate's photo of the board is unreadable — you're trying to reconstruct content from a JPEG artifact
Complex diagrams — anatomy charts, proof structures, circuit diagrams, argument maps — need to be understood, not just photographed
Exam prep means re-reading your own bad notes from three months ago — if the board even made it into your notes at all
Tutoring sessions where the tutor works through examples on the board produce the most valuable content that you're trying to understand and photograph at the same time

How BoardSnap helps

Snap the lecture board and get a clean structured summary — key concepts organized, definitions clear, examples described — ready for your notes app
Study group problem sessions snap to a step-by-step walk-through — the solution approach explained in text, not locked in a photo
Complex diagrams get described in structured text — the anatomy diagram becomes a labeled description, the proof becomes a written argument
A project per course builds a searchable lecture archive — at exam time, you review structured summaries instead of squinting at bad photos
Missed-class boards are shareable — your classmate snaps it and you get the same structured summary as if you were there
Tutoring session boards produce notes you actually learn from — the explanation captured, not just the diagram

A day with BoardSnap

Class capture
Snap the board before it gets erased. BoardSnap produces a structured lesson summary — key concepts, definitions, examples — in under ten seconds. Add the summary to your class notes before you leave the building.
Study group', 'body': 'Someone works through the hard problem on the whiteboard. Snap when the solution is complete. Everyone gets a clean step-by-step walk-through — the group's best thinking, documented.
Tutoring session', 'body': 'Your tutor explains the concept on the board. You're focusing on understanding, not photography. Snap at the end. BoardSnap captures the explanation as structured text — the notes you need to study from, not just a memory of what the tutor said.
Exam prep', 'body': 'Build a concept map or review outline on the board. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured review document — the study guide you built from your own understanding of the material, not a downloaded one that might be wrong.
Lab or project planning', 'body': 'Sketch the experiment design or project plan on the board. Snap. The structured summary captures the design decisions and action items — what you're building, what each person is doing, what you need to figure out.

Features that matter for students

Perspective correction

Apple VisionKit detects the whiteboard automatically and corrects the perspective. No tilted photos, no cut-off corners, no cropping. Just point and snap.

Structured summaries

BoardSnap AI produces organized text — not a raw transcription. Key concepts are clear, definitions are grouped, examples are described. The output is designed for studying, not just for information storage.

Projects per course

One project per class. Every board from every lecture accumulates in the project — the full semester's board history in one searchable place. Free plan includes one project; Pro unlocks all your courses.

Offline queue

Classroom WiFi is unreliable. BoardSnap queues the capture on-device and processes it when you have signal — the board gets documented even when the classroom network is down.

AI chat per project

Ask questions against the semester's lecture history: 'explain the concept from Tuesday's lecture again' 'what examples did the professor use for this topic?' The AI answers from the actual course content, not from Wikipedia.

Frequently asked

Is BoardSnap better than just taking a photo of the whiteboard?

Yes — significantly. A phone photo gives you a tilted, skewed image you have to squint at. BoardSnap uses VisionKit to auto-correct the perspective and then turns the content into a structured written summary. You get readable, organized notes instead of a JPEG of a whiteboard.

Can it capture a professor's diagram or chart accurately?

Yes. BoardSnap AI reads educational diagrams — labeled diagrams, concept maps, flow charts, geometric figures — and produces a written description of the content. The richer the annotations on the board, the richer the description.

What if I miss class — can a classmate capture the board for me?

Yes — your classmate snaps the board and shares the structured summary with you. You get the same organized content as if you were there. The summary is text, so it's easy to share via any messaging app.

How does the AI chat work for studying?

Ask BoardSnap AI questions against your course project's board history: 'what did the professor say about X?' 'explain the diagram from last Thursday's lecture.' It answers from the actual captured board content, not from general knowledge. It's the study tool that knows what your specific professor taught.

What's the price for students?

Free plan includes one project and 30 boards — that's a full semester for one course. If you're in multiple lecture-heavy courses, Pro at $9.99/month or $69.99/year gives you unlimited projects and boards plus AI chat — typically less than a single textbook.
