WhiteBoard

You’re standing in front of a room of colleagues, marker in hand, about to map out a quarter’s worth of strategy. But the whiteboard is tiny, the markers are drying out, and no one can read your handwriting from the back row. Worse, once the meeting ends, that entire diagram gets erased forever. This is the exact friction point that WhiteBoard by Covent Systems eliminates. It’s not a physical board replacement; it’s a digital workspace engineered for real-time collaboration, infinite canvas space, and persistent storage. It solves the core problem of ephemeral brainstorming—where every idea is saved, sharable, and editable without the mess.

Core Mechanics & Functional Tools

WhiteBoard operates as a blank, scalable canvas that responds to touch, stylus, or mouse input with sub‑millisecond latency. The app uses a vector-based rendering engine, meaning every stroke, shape, and text box remains resolution-independent—you can zoom in 500% without pixelation. The primary toolset includes a pressure-sensitive pen (with 256 levels of tilt and angle support), a highlighter with adjustable opacity, a shape recognition engine that auto‑converts rough sketches into perfect polygons, and a smart text tool that integrates with the system keyboard or voice‑to‑text. A lasso selection tool lets you grab any element—handwritten notes, imported images, or sticky notes—and move, resize, or rotate them as a group. The app also features an infinite undo history, so you can revert any change without limit.

Key Advantages & User Experience

• Real‑time sync across devices – Changes on your tablet appear on a colleague’s phone within 200ms, using WebSocket protocol. No manual saves required.
• Export in four professional formats – Save your board as a high‑res PNG (up to 4K), editable SVG, searchable PDF with OCR, or native .wboard file for later editing. Vector layers remain intact in SVG exports.
• Layer management system – Organize content into up to 64 transparent layers. Lock, hide, or reorder them independently, essential for complex diagrams like UML flowcharts or architectural wireframes.
• Embedded media support – Drag‑and‑drop images, PDF pages, and even short video clips (up to 30 seconds) directly onto the canvas. Each media object can be cropped, scaled, or annotated over with the pen tool.
• Collaboration with granular permissions – Share a board via a link or QR code. Set roles to Viewer, Commenter, or Editor. Every edit is logged with a timestamp and user ID, creating a full audit trail for accountability.

Technical Considerations & Performance

WhiteBoard runs on Android 8.0 (API 26) and above, optimized for devices with at least 3GB RAM and a GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.0. The app consumes approximately 45MB of storage after installation, with additional cache for synced boards (cleared automatically after 30 days of inactivity). It supports both landscape and portrait orientations, with a dedicated “presentation mode” that hides toolbars and locks the canvas to prevent accidental edits during demos. The battery impact is moderate—an hour of active drawing with a stylus draws roughly 12% of a standard 4000mAh battery. Internet connectivity is required for collaboration features and cloud backup, but the app includes an offline mode that queues changes locally and syncs when a connection is restored.

Heads up: you’ll need a stable internet connection for real-time collaboration and cloud saves. The full export suite (SVG/4K PNG) is unlocked in the free version, but advanced layer management and OCR search require a one‑time in‑app purchase.
