For Students

Snap your lecture. Walk away with study notes.

Capture any classroom whiteboard or chalkboard with your iPhone — VisionKit straightens it, the AI reads the handwriting, equations, and diagrams, and you walk out with clean study notes, key terms, and a 5-card quiz on every board. Organize by class with per-class projects. Works offline in the basement lecture hall.

Download on the App Store Free to start. 1 class, 30 boards, full AI summaries.

Built for the way you actually study

VisionKit capture

Hold up your iPhone, the app finds the board, straightens the perspective, and snaps. No tripod, no cropping, no waiting for the professor to step aside. Five seconds, and the whiteboard is locked in your pocket — diagrams, arrows, equations, and all.

Quiz mode

Tap Quiz me on any board you've captured. BoardSnap turns the board into 5 flashcards — a mix of recall, application, and synthesis questions. Walk to the next class quizzing yourself on the last one. Free users get 3 quizzes a month; Pro is unlimited.

Per-class projects

One project per class. Bio 201, CS 350, History 110 — each gets its own bucket of boards, its own AI summary voice (paste the syllabus URL once), and its own pinned context. Chat across every board in a class to find that one definition the professor used in week three.

The five-second loop

  1. Walk into the lecture. Hold up your iPhone. Tap snap.
  2. BoardSnap straightens the board, reads every line, returns a 1-paragraph summary plus a structured outline.
  3. Tap Quiz me. Five flashcards, ready before you've left the room.
  4. Walk to your next class quizzing yourself. The board is filed under the right project automatically.
  5. Before the exam, chat across every board in the class: "What did we cover on the Krebs cycle?"

No more snapping with the camera roll and forgetting which class it was from. No more re-typing the board into Notion. No more flipping through 80 photos the night before finals trying to find the one with the formula. The board is the note, and the note is the quiz.

What BoardSnap does that the camera roll doesn't

  • Reads handwriting and diagrams — the AI is built for the messy, half-erased reality of a real classroom board, not perfect-light product photography.
  • Organizes by class — every board lands in the right project. Search "mitochondria" and BoardSnap finds the lecture from week three.
  • Brand-aware to your class — paste your professor's syllabus URL once and summaries come back in the language of that class. The chemistry summary doesn't sound like the history summary.
  • Quizzes on demand — any board, any time. The board is now an active study tool, not a dead photo.
  • Offline-first — basement lecture hall, plane mode flight home for break, dead campus WiFi. Snap anyway. Syncs the second you're back online.
  • Pinned context — pin the syllabus, the rubric, the formula sheet. Every chat across the class starts with that context built in.

Frequently asked

Does BoardSnap work for handwriting on a chalkboard?

Yes. The AI reads handwriting, printed text, diagrams, equations, and bullet lists. Chalkboards work as well as whiteboards — the contrast is still there for the model. Foreign-language handwriting is supported too.

How does Quiz mode work?

Open any board you've captured, tap Quiz me, and BoardSnap turns the board's summary and key points into 5 flashcards. Mix of recall, application, and synthesis questions. Tap to reveal answers, swipe for the next card. Free users get 3 quizzes per month; Pro is unlimited.

Can I organize boards by class?

Yes — projects are the way. Create a project per class (Bio 201, CS 350, History 110), and every board you snap inside that project shares the same context. Chat across all boards in the class, quiz any single board.

Will this work in a basement lecture hall with no signal?

Yes. BoardSnap captures offline and queues the AI summarization for the moment you're back online. You never lose a board because the WiFi was bad.

Is there a student discount?

The free tier is enough for a single class — 30 boards, full summaries, 3 quizzes/month. Pro is $9.99/month or $69.99/year — that's $5.83/month annually, less than a coffee. No separate student tier; the free tier is the student tier.
