The BoardTools overview page: upcoming meetings, open votes, tasks, and documents awaiting acknowledgement, all on one page.

The agenda

Everything a board is required to do, done properly.

Six items, moved and carried — the core rhythm of running a board, end to end.

  1. MeetingsSchedule, notice, and run every meeting — with agendas timed to the minute and virtual join links built in.
  2. Motions & votingMove, second, and vote with recorded roll-calls or secret ballots. Thresholds and quorum are enforced live.
  3. MinutesMinutes drafted from the agenda and the recorded votes, then circulated and approved — a defensible official record.
  4. Decisions registerEvery passed motion in one searchable register: what was decided, when, and how the vote carried.
  5. TasksAction items assigned, due-dated, and carried forward until done — nothing agreed in a meeting gets lost after it.
  6. Members, seats & termsThe directory, seat definitions, term limits, and onboarding — see what comes open this cycle before it surprises you.

Why boards choose BoardTools

Made for participating on the go

Optimized for taking part from anywhere — review the packet, follow the motion, and cast your vote from your phone, wherever the meeting finds you.

Accountable by default

Quorum computed live, thresholds enforced, every ballot recorded. The minutes write themselves from the record.

Private by construction

Each board's data is isolated with row-level security. Your bylaws, ballots, and directory stay yours.

Pricing

Priced per board, not per seat.

Boards grow and rotate. One flat price per board covers everyone on it — pick the plan that fits how your board runs.

Questions from the floor

FAQ

Can our members vote outside a live meeting?

Not yet — it's the next thing we're building. Today every vote is cast during a meeting, as a recorded roll-call or a secret ballot. Async email ballots will let a motion be moved, circulated, and decided between meetings, with the same recorded tally and threshold rules.

How does BoardTools keep our records private?

Every board is isolated with row-level security in the database itself — queries physically cannot cross board boundaries. Members see only the boards they sit on.

Is it usable for our less technical members?

That's the design brief. BoardTools is built to be read and used comfortably on any device — clear type, large touch targets, and high-contrast, legible screens throughout. It's optimized for participating on the go, so a member can review the packet and cast a vote from their phone. If a member can use email, they can use BoardTools.

What does "priced per board" mean exactly?

One flat price covers a board and everyone on it — directors, officers, staff, and observers. Members rotating on and off never changes your bill. Plans differ by board size and features: Starter fits a small board, Board covers up to 15 members, and Pro is unlimited. A board's committees are included on every paid plan.

Can we bring in our existing bylaws and records?

Yes. Upload governing documents (bylaws, charters, policies) with effective dates and an official-version pointer, and import your member directory from CSV. Past minutes can be attached to historical meetings.

Can we get our data out?

Always. The member directory and decision register export to CSV, minutes and meeting packets download as PDF, and documents download individually or as a ZIP. Your record is yours.
