1891 Parliamentarian

Robert's Rules, on the TV at the front of the room and the phone in every hand.

The minute book from 1940 and the minute screen from 2026 are the same artifact. Parliamentarian is for boards, councils, professional societies, congregations, PTAs. Any room that runs by parliamentary procedure. Motions and seconds and votes are atomic at the edge. Points of order interrupt the right way every time. When the chair declares adjournment, the auto-drafted minutes are already in the secretary's inbox.

Built in Frederick. Carried forward since 1891.

What it does

Built so every member can participate from minute one.

For organizations new to Robert's Rules and the ones that have been at it for fifty years. Every member can see what's on the floor, when to vote, and what was decided. The procedure stops being the barrier.

Everyone sees the same thing.

The motion stays on the screen at the front of the room and on every phone in it. No one has to whisper "what are we voting on?" Members joining remotely see the same view.

Voting is the phone in your pocket.

Open a link. Tap yes or no. New members vote with confidence from their first meeting. Nothing to install. Works in the room and from home.

The rules are built in.

A motion can't move forward until it's been moved, seconded, debated, and voted. The chair keeps the meeting on track. Members see exactly where they are in the process.

How it works

From call to order to signed minutes in under an hour.

  1. Open a link.

    Members join from any phone or laptop. In the room or from home. No app to download, no account to make.

  2. Run the floor.

    The chair calls for motions. Members second, debate, and vote from the phone in their pocket. Everyone sees the same screen.

  3. Show the room.

    Cast to any TV. The motion, the vote tally, and the result are visible to the whole room and every remote attendee.

  4. Adjourn.

    Minutes PDF lands in the secretary's inbox before anyone leaves. Every motion timestamped, every vote on the record.

Universal design

Built for a Deaf school. Designed for every room.

  • Captions are on by default. Voice is never required.
  • The motion stays visible. Vote buttons are thumb-sized.
  • The gavel is a visual flash and a haptic, not a sound.
  • Remote members get the same view as the room.

The first version ran a Maryland School for the Deaf PSA meeting. Every design choice assumed the room couldn't hear the gavel. Turns out that makes meetings clearer for hearing rooms too, and easier for any member who has ever felt lost in the procedure.

Who it's for

Every organization, large or small.

A four-person co-op board. A 600-delegate state conference. A PTA whose secretary is dreading another Sunday afternoon retyping notes. A city council that needs FOIA-grade minutes. Same engine. Same plain-language interface.

New to Robert's Rules.

The interface shows what comes next: a motion, a second, debate, the vote. Members learn the procedure by using it, not by studying the book.

Complicated meetings.

Amendments, points of order, recorded roll call, executive session. The engine handles the bookkeeping so the chair can focus on the room.

Hybrid rooms.

In-person attendees and remote members share the same screen and the same vote. No one is a second-class participant.

Quiet members.

Vote from your phone. Queue to speak with a tap. Members who never raise a hand in a crowded room can still be on the record.

Universal-design contract

Captions default on. Consent before capture. Plain-English retention.

Audio is additive, never sole. Every motion, second, and vote carries color, icon, and text on every screen. Captions are on by default whenever audio plays, not buried in a settings menu. A high-contrast RECORDING indicator stays on every shared screen for the whole session, and the chair has a one-tap pause for executive session. Retention is plain English: thirty days for raw audio, a year for transcript, permanent for approved minutes.

One stack. Four flagship rooms.

From the workspace. The kit the products are built from.

Parliamentarian shares its foundation with Meetings, Arena: Pickleball, and Arena: Bowling. Same browser tab. Same your data, yours. Same edge for live counters. Different floor plan.

  • Multi-device web.

    Tablet on the podium. TV at the front of the room. Phone in every hand. Same URL, three different floor plans. Nothing to install.

  • One Stripe spine.

    Every product takes money the same way. Receipts arrive from the same address. Refunds are one click. The studio doesn't sit in the middle of your funds.

  • Your data, yours.

    Records, archives, rosters belong to you. Export anything, anytime, in plain formats. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.

  • Live at the edge.

    Counters update the moment the vote does. Brackets update the moment the game ends. No refresh. No spinner.

  • Captions default-on.

    Audio is additive, never sole. Every state change carries color, icon, and text. Speakers muted, headphones unplugged: the product still works.

  • Built in Frederick.

    The same person who solders the board writes the firmware, hand-codes the page, and pushes the deploy. The studio that built it is the studio that runs it.

Heritage

Carried forward since 1891.

My great-grandmother Gertrude Wilson was the first President of the Monongahela Valley Silent Club in 1940. My grandmother Betty Mowl kept the minute book by hand. This product is the same record, written by the same family, five generations later.
