The problem this product is built around
Notes and whiteboards usually split at the worst moment. A notebook is good for a sequence of pages but awkward for a large diagram; a whiteboard is spacious but poor at keeping a meeting’s written context. Exporting one into the other as an image preserves appearance and destroys the ability to edit the pieces.
How InkBoard solves it
InkBoard keeps a heading, stroke, screenshot, image and PDF as objects inside one document. A page can be a written note, a sketch or a board without changing its identity, and each object remains selectable rather than becoming pixels in a background image. The document stays on the device and does not require an account. Open the InkBoard product page to see current availability and plan details.
A practical workflow
- Create one document for the project instead of one note per medium, then add pages only when the structure needs them.
- Use handwriting for the thought, text for the label, and an image or PDF for the source; do not screenshot an editable object just to move it.
- Keep a page as a board when you need spatial relationships, and use adjacent pages for the explanation that would otherwise crowd it.
- Export one page for a quick share, or export the whole document as a multi-page PDF when the notebook itself is the deliverable.
What to check before you trust the result
InkBoard is local-first, so the document exists on the device where you made it and iCloud sync is not currently available. A whole-document PDF and printing are Pro exits; a single page can be exported free. Decide where your backup and handoff live before relying on one device as the only copy.
Who this workflow is for
Use this workflow when a project moves between thinking, drawing and source material. It is especially useful for classes, planning sessions and field notes where flattening a page into an image would make the next edit more expensive.

The useful promise of InkBoard is specific: it shortens one repeated decision while keeping evidence, assumptions and stopping points visible. Start with one real task, inspect the result, and only then make it part of your routine. Try InkBoard.
