OpenBoard is an open-source interactive whiteboard application designed for educational use in schools and universities. Teachers and instructors use it to create dynamic, multimedia-rich lessons that combine handwritten notes with images, graphics, videos, and web content. The app supports both traditional interactive whiteboard hardware and dual-screen setups, making it flexible for different classroom configurations. OpenBoard evolved from the earlier Uniboard and Open-Sankoré projects and is maintained as a community-driven fork focused on core teaching functionality. It runs cross-platform on macOS, Windows, and Linux, making lesson files portable across different institutions.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of OpenBoard has been confirmed running on real Macs. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version, which will run natively on M-series Macs with better performance and battery efficiency. Download the current build directly from the official OpenBoard website, which will automatically serve the Universal Binary to Apple Silicon Macs.
