Boardi
Boardi is a small macOS typing practice app by Louis that appears focused on learning or improving 10-finger keyboard typing.
What is Boardi?
Boardi is a macOS app published by Louis and distributed through the Mac App Store under the bundle ID com.louis.boardi. Available information indicates that it is a typing-focused educational app, likely intended to help users practice or improve 10-finger touch typing on a Mac. The developer’s site includes a dedicated Boardi privacy page, which states that the app stores and manages its data locally on the device, does not send personal data or clipboard history to servers, and does not include cloud sync, analytics, or third-party tracking. That suggests a simple local-first design rather than an online service. Users are most likely to encounter it as a lightweight practice tool for keyboard training rather than as a background utility or system component. Because public technical documentation is limited, details about lessons, scoring, file locations, and advanced macOS integrations should be treated as unconfirmed until verified on an installed system.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Boardi appears to be a legitimate Mac App Store app from an independent developer. The published privacy page says it does not collect personal data, does not use third-party tracking, and keeps app data local to the device. Risk appears low based on the available information, but documentation is limited and exact on-disk locations were not verified from an installed copy.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use it for typing practice or keyboard training. If you do not use it, removing the app is reasonable, but review any app data left on disk only after confirming the actual files created on your Mac.
