Use case

Low-fi wireframes on a real whiteboard — captured before someone grabs the eraser.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that reads low-fidelity whiteboard wireframes and produces a screen inventory, flow notes, and a prioritized action list in seconds. No camera roll archaeology required.

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

The problem

Low-fi wireframes live and die on the whiteboard. That's the point — you draw fast, you throw away fast. But "throw away fast" often means throwing away the decisions too.

The gap isn't in the sketching; it's in the handoff. A photo of seven rough boxes and a dozen arrows does nothing for the developer who wasn't in the room, the PM writing the ticket, or yourself two weeks later trying to remember why that edge case had a star next to it.

Documentation tools are too slow for the low-fi phase. You need something that moves at whiteboard speed.

The workflow

  1. Sketch screens as labeled boxes

    Keep labels short — one or two words per screen. The label is what BoardSnap uses to name each item in the output.

  2. Draw directional arrows

    Connect screens with arrows. Label the arrows with the action that triggers the transition ("tap CTA," "submit form," "swipe left"). BoardSnap reads these as flow edges.

  3. Add margin annotations

    Circle anything decided. Put a question mark next to anything open. These annotations drive the action item list BoardSnap generates.

  4. Snap with BoardSnap

    iPhone camera, VisionKit perspective correction, one tap. Works in dim conference rooms — no special lighting needed.

  5. Get the screen inventory

    BoardSnap lists every labeled screen, its connections, and any notes. Screens with open questions become action items automatically.

What you get

A structured screen inventory: each screen's name, its incoming and outgoing connections, and any annotations. Open questions convert to tri-state action items. The output is plain text — paste it directly into Notion, Linear, or wherever your team tracks design work.

Real examples

B2B SaaS settings flow

Twelve low-fi screens sketched in under twenty minutes. BoardSnap returned a fourteen-item action list covering missing copy, undefined permission states, and three screens flagged as requiring engineering input.

Consumer app first-run experience

Three competing onboarding approaches sketched side-by-side. BoardSnap summarized each approach separately and generated a comparison list of where they diverged on key decisions.

Frequently asked

How is this different from scanning the wireframes with a regular camera?

A camera gives you a picture. BoardSnap gives you a structured document. It reads the content — screen names, arrows, annotations — and organizes them into a summary and action list. The photo is an unindexed image; the BoardSnap output is searchable, shareable text.

What if my wireframes are really rough — more sticky notes than boxes?

BoardSnap reads sticky notes, freehand text, and rough shapes. Clarity helps, but it's designed for real whiteboard conditions, not clean diagrams.

Can I iterate on the wireframes and re-snap?

Yes. Each snap is a separate board in your BoardSnap Project. You can track how the flow evolved across sessions and chat across all of them to compare decisions.

Does the free tier cover low-fi wireframe sessions?

Yes. The free tier includes one project and up to 30 boards — plenty for most wireframe projects. Pro unlocks unlimited projects and boards if you're running multiple products or clients in parallel.
