For UX Designers

For UX designers who map user journeys on real whiteboards.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns whiteboard photos into structured summaries and action items in ten seconds. For UX designers, that means user journey maps, research synthesis sessions, and usability findings stop disappearing between the workshop and the Figma file.

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

What hurts today

Journey mapping workshops produce a beautiful whiteboard that gets photographed, then never converted into anything a developer or stakeholder can act on
Usability testing debrief sessions generate a wall of sticky-note findings that take hours to transcribe and categorize
User flow diagrams drawn in a session get re-drawn three times in Figma, Miro, and a slide deck — all slightly inconsistent
Research synthesis sessions produce raw affinity clusters that nobody outside the room can interpret from a photo
Stakeholder interviews produce whiteboard sketches of user expectations that disappear before the requirements doc gets written
The handoff from UX research insight to product requirement loses half the nuance in translation

How BoardSnap helps

Snap a journey map and get a structured written description of each phase, touchpoint, and pain point — shareable with PMs and developers before the session recap is due
Research synthesis boards become categorized insight lists with open/in-progress/done status — the affinity clusters translate into named themes with action items
User flow diagrams produce step-by-step written descriptions that serve as the first draft of a flow spec
Usability testing debrief boards produce a prioritized issue list with severity levels captured from the annotations
Pin your research findings doc so every future board session already knows what you've learned about the user
Brand-aware AI writes research summaries in your product's language — user pain points are described in terms of your actual product features, not abstract UX theory

A day with BoardSnap

Journey mapping workshop
Run the session with real stickies and markers. Snap the final map. BoardSnap produces a phase-by-phase summary with touchpoints, pain points, and opportunity areas flagged as structured sections — not just a description of a photo.
Research synthesis
Cluster your affinity notes on the board. Snap. BoardSnap reads the cluster labels and underlying notes and produces a structured insight list — named themes, supporting observations, and action items for product response.
User flow session
Sketch the happy path and the edge cases on the board. Snap. The summary describes the flow as a numbered sequence of steps — the first draft of a flow spec your developer doesn't have to imagine from scratch.
Usability testing debrief
After watching sessions, map the issues on the board by severity and frequency. Snap. BoardSnap produces a categorized issue list sorted by what you marked as critical, moderate, and low — ready for the Jira ticket sprint.
Stakeholder requirement session
Sketch user expectations as they describe them. Snap at the end of the interview. The summary captures stated requirements and implicit needs as distinct categories — the input for your user story writing session.

Features that matter for ux designers

Flow diagram reading

BoardSnap AI reads user flow diagrams — numbered steps, decision branches, swimlanes, and annotated paths. It produces a step-by-step written description of the flow, not just a list of the words on the board.

Brand-aware AI

Paste your product URL so BoardSnap AI knows your actual user flows, feature names, and product language. Research summaries then reference your real product — not generic UX terminology.

Pinned context

Pin your research repository summary, your persona definitions, or your current hypothesis. Every future board session chat already knows your user research baseline.

Projects per product area

Keep checkout flow research separate from onboarding UX research. Each project has its own board history and research context — so the AI chat gives answers grounded in the right body of research.

Tri-state action items

UX work has clear next steps: issues to fix, flows to prototype, research questions to answer. BoardSnap tracks them as open/in-progress/done with auto-generated subtasks for complex fixes.

Frequently asked

Can BoardSnap capture a journey map with swim lanes and multiple user types?

Yes. BoardSnap AI reads the structure of whiteboard content — swim lanes, column headers, row labels, and the content within cells. It produces a structured summary that preserves the mapping between user types and journey phases.

How does it handle sticky-note affinity clusters from research synthesis?

Snap the affinity board after clustering. BoardSnap reads the cluster labels and the sticky content and produces a theme-by-theme summary with supporting observations. The denser the text on the stickies, the richer the output.

Can I use BoardSnap to document usability findings for a research report?

Yes. Snap your issue-priority board and the summary becomes the source material for your findings section — categorized by severity, with action items mapped to product areas. Edit and expand from there.

What about sessions that are mostly diagrams and very little text?

BoardSnap AI interprets diagram structure — shapes, connections, flow direction, and spatial layout — not just written text. Image-heavy boards produce descriptions of the visual structure. Adding brief text labels to your diagrams significantly improves the output quality.

Does BoardSnap integrate with Figma or Miro?

BoardSnap outputs clean text summaries and structured action lists you can paste into any tool — Figma annotations, Miro notes, Notion, or Confluence. There's no native integration, but the output is designed to copy cleanly.
