The Miro alternative that knows your site
Boards does what you use Miro for: stickies, workshops, templates, presenting and exporting decks. Then it adds what architects keep pasting in by hand: the site’s maps and analysis, models from Rhino and SketchUp with versions, and the area statement with FAR and bylaw checks.

Where Boards is better for architects
A general whiteboard holds pictures of your work. Boards holds the work itself, and keeps it current.
- Site maps, analysis figures and Plotline massing as live cards that update with the project, or frozen for a presentation
- Models from Rhino and SketchUp: each send is a new version, placed on the site, with layers and element data
- Comments pinned on the model, side-by-side version compare and clash checks
- Area statements with FAR and bylaw checks against the site’s limits
- Decks to PDF and PowerPoint, and sheets at A1 to A4 for pin-ups and submissions
Why practices move to Boards
One board per project holds the whole story: the site, every model version that was reviewed, the numbers, the comments and what the client signed off. No more pasting screenshots of the model and the area schedule into a general whiteboard every week.
- From the team behind UrbanEyes, used by 46,000+ professionals in 120+ countries
- Templates for the meetings a project runs on: kickoff, site-visit debrief, design review, pin-up and critique, client briefing
- Team and Studio include monthly site analysis credits in a shared wallet
Moving from Miro
Bring a Miro board across with the Miro import: notes, shapes, text, frames, cards, pictures and connectors land where they were. Keep Miro for other teams while the design team works in Boards.
