Mobile checkout flow
Eight screens sketched across two whiteboards. BoardSnap identified cart, address, payment, confirmation, and three error states — including the one the designer scribbled in the corner that would have been missed in a photo.
Use case
Capture UX wireframes off the whiteboard — before someone erases them.
BoardSnap is an iOS app that reads whiteboard wireframe sessions and turns sketched screen flows, component notes, and open design questions into a clean, structured summary with action items.

The problem
Whiteboard wireframe sessions move fast. Someone draws a login screen, someone else arrows it into an onboarding flow, and by the time you're arguing over the empty state for screen four, the first screens are already half-erased.
The canonical "just take a phone photo" approach produces a flat image that lives in your camera roll forever. No summary. No extracted decisions. No list of which screens are blocked on a copy decision.
Digital tools like Figma and FigJam are good, but pulling them out mid-session changes the energy. The group stops collaborating and starts watching one person type. The whiteboard is faster. The problem is getting the whiteboard's output into your actual workflow.
The workflow
- Sketch the flow on the whiteboard
Draw each screen as a rough box. Label it. Arrow from one to the next. Write open questions in the margin — these are gold for BoardSnap to capture.
- Mark decisions vs open questions
Use a simple convention: circle decisions, star open questions. BoardSnap AI reads both and separates them in the output.
- Snap the board
Open BoardSnap on iPhone. Apple VisionKit corrects the perspective automatically — no need to stand directly in front of the board. One tap.
- Review the structured output
BoardSnap AI reads every label, arrow, and margin note. The summary lists each screen by name, its role in the flow, and any open questions attached to it.
- Promote to action items
Open questions become action items automatically. Assign states — open, in-progress, done — and add subtasks for design, copy, and engineering work per screen.
- Share to the project
The wireframe snap lives in a BoardSnap Project alongside every other session. Paste your product URL once and future summaries sound like your product, not generic UX jargon.
What you get
BoardSnap returns a screen-by-screen breakdown: each wireframe's label, its position in the flow, attached notes, and a list of open design decisions. Action items are tri-state (open / in-progress / done) with auto-generated subtasks covering copy, component design, and edge-case handling. If you've set up brand context, the summary uses your product's own naming conventions.
Real examples
Onboarding redesign
A UX workshop with two competing flows drawn side by side. BoardSnap summarized both flows, flagged the three screens they shared, and generated action items for the A/B test setup.
Frequently asked
Can BoardSnap read rough sketches, not just clean diagrams?
Yes. BoardSnap AI is trained on real whiteboard content — rough boxes, freehand arrows, overlapping text. It reads the intent, not just pixel-perfect shapes. Messy wireframes work fine.
What if the wireframes span multiple whiteboards?
Snap each board separately. They all live in the same BoardSnap Project and the project-level chat can synthesize across them. You can also pin key screens as context so future sessions remember the established flow.
Does BoardSnap replace Figma?
No — and it doesn't try to. BoardSnap captures the whiteboard phase: the fast, messy ideation before you open a design tool. It gives you a clean record and a task list so the Figma work starts from a solid foundation, not a blurry photo.
Is it useful if the wireframes are just for myself, not a team?
Absolutely. Solo wireframe sessions often produce the most ideas — and the most forgotten decisions. A snap-and-summary after a solo session is a two-second commit to memory.
