BoardMemo

Paste or dictate rough meeting notes and get a polished one-page memo in board tone — decision memo, status update, proposal, or briefing note. Inference runs on Apple's Foundation Models, so nothing you write ever leaves the phone.

No server. No account. Works in airplane mode. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer on iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled.

What it does

From rough notes to board-ready. Entirely on your device.

01

Compose

Pick a template — Board update, Exec weekly, Investor memo, War-room brief, 1:1 prep, Decision brief — choose the audience, paste or dictate your notes, tap Draft board memo.

02

Board paper, not chat output

The memo renders as a fixed-section board paper in serif, with the section skeleton the audience expects rather than whatever the model felt like producing.

03

One-tap refinement

Tighten. More formal. Sharpen risks. Halve length. Regenerate. Each pass rewrites in place — no prompt engineering.

04

It never invents facts

Ambiguities come back as explicit [TO CONFIRM: …] markers instead of confident guesses. Declarative, no hedging, numbers over adjectives.

05

Library

Every memo stored locally on the phone. Long-press to delete. Deleting the app deletes them permanently — there is no copy anywhere else.

06

Dictation on device

Apple's on-device speech recognition. The audio and the transcript both stay on the phone; nothing is written to a file or uploaded.

Questions

Before you ask

Where are my memos stored?

Only on your iPhone, in the standard app storage. There is no account and no server, so memos cannot be recovered if you delete the app or lose the device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. BoardMemo writes in airplane mode — the model runs on the phone.

Which devices?

iPhone 15 Pro or newer running iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled. Apple Foundation Models does not exist on older hardware.

Do you train on my notes?

No. We never receive them, so there is nothing to train on.
