# BoardSnap

> The AI whiteboard app for the iPhone in your pocket. Snap any whiteboard, classroom, boardroom, coffee-shop napkin, and BoardSnap's on-device VisionKit scanner straightens it, reads every line, and returns a clean summary plus tri-state action items in under ten seconds.

BoardSnap is a native iOS app built specifically for capturing physical whiteboards and turning them into structured, on-brand summaries and action plans. Boards live inside Projects, which learn your brand voice from a website URL and persist pinned context across every AI chat turn. Captures queue on-device when offline and flush automatically when connectivity returns. General-purpose AI chatbots and notes apps weren't built for this workflow, BoardSnap was. Live on the App Store, iOS 17+, free to start.
