For UI Designers

For UI designers who explore visually before they execute.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that photographs a whiteboard and returns a structured summary and action list in ten seconds. For UI designers, that means visual exploration sessions, component decision boards, and style direction discussions produce a durable artifact — not just a photo in your camera roll.

What hurts today

Visual direction sessions produce a beautiful arrangement of references, keywords, and sketches on the board that translates to nothing when you're in front of a blank Figma canvas
Typography and color exploration discussions happen verbally at a whiteboard and get reconstructed from memory in the style guide
Component layout sketches get drawn three times — on the board, in a wireframe, in Figma — with subtle differences each time
Client feedback on visual mock-ups gets delivered at the board and then re-described in a follow-up email that misses half the nuance
Motion and interaction ideas sketched on a board are hard to communicate in static Figma — and the whiteboard session that captured them is gone
Design direction decisions made in a session become tribal knowledge when the reasoning never gets documented

How BoardSnap helps

Visual exploration boards produce a written description of each direction — reference categories, typography mood, color language — ready to brief a copywriter or a developer
Client visual feedback sessions produce a structured critique list before you leave the office — no reconstructing their feedback from memory
Component layout sketches produce a written spec description that complements your Figma file and explains the intent behind the layout
Style guide decision sessions produce a rationale document alongside the decisions — future designers know why the type scale is what it is
Brand-aware AI writes summaries using your client's brand vocabulary — their color names, their typographic sensibility, their visual language
Snap a moodboard discussion and get a written art direction brief that distills the mood into actionable direction without losing the nuance

A day with BoardSnap

Visual exploration
Pull references, sketch directions, and annotate visual ideas on the board. Snap. BoardSnap produces a written description of each visual direction — mood, typography language, color approach — and action items for which directions to develop.
Component sketching
Draw the component states, layout options, and responsive behavior sketches on the board. Snap. The summary describes each variant and flags open questions — density, spacing, interaction states — as action items.
Client visual feedback
Walk the client through the mock-ups. They annotate the board with feedback. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured feedback list — visual issues categorized by component, flagged as open for revision.
Style guide session
Map the type scale, color system, spacing rules, and icon style decisions on the board. Snap. The summary captures the decisions and the reasoning behind them — the 'why' that style guide docs usually omit.
Motion briefing
Sketch the animation arc, timing cues, and interaction trigger sequences. Snap. BoardSnap describes the motion system in words — useful for briefing a motion designer or writing an animation spec.

Features that matter for ui designers

Visual content reading

BoardSnap AI reads annotated sketches, reference arrangements, and diagram-style boards. It produces descriptions of visual structure and intent — not just transcriptions of text labels.

Brand-aware AI

Paste your client's brand URL or your brand guidelines page. BoardSnap AI learns the visual vocabulary, color names, and typographic sensibility — summaries reference the actual brand, not generic design terms.

Projects per client

Each client engagement has its own project with isolated board history and brand context. Your SaaS client's UI exploration doesn't bleed into your consumer brand work.

Pinned context

Pin the brand guidelines, the design brief, or the style guide draft. Every board session chat already knows the visual constraints you're working within.

Tri-state action items

Visual directions to develop, components to build, client revisions to address. Open / in-progress / done — the same workflow your PM uses, applied to visual production.

Frequently asked

Does BoardSnap work for boards that are mostly visual references with minimal text?

BoardSnap AI reads both the visual structure and the text content of boards. For reference-heavy boards, adding short text annotations — mood words, direction labels, 'yes/no/maybe' calls — significantly improves the output quality. The more language you give it, the richer the summary.

Can it capture a typography exploration — font names, weight pairings, scale notes?

Yes. Typography exploration sessions with font names, scale notes, and pairing annotations produce detailed summaries of the typographic direction. BoardSnap AI reads written type notes accurately alongside sketch content.

How does BoardSnap help with client visual feedback sessions?

Snap the board at the end of the session. BoardSnap produces a structured feedback list — comments organized by component or page area, flagged as open for revision. Share it with the client as the session recap instead of writing it up from memory.

Is it useful for design system visual decisions?

Yes — color system decisions, icon style choices, and spacing system rules all benefit from a written rationale document alongside the decision. BoardSnap captures the reasoning from the session, not just the outcome.

Can I use BoardSnap to produce a written art direction brief from a moodboard session?

Yes. Run your moodboard session on a whiteboard — pull directions, annotate with language, make directional calls. Snap. BoardSnap AI distills the session into a written art direction brief that describes the visual mood in actionable terms.
