I’m building Robot’s Rules in Swift with Claude Code as my main collaborator. You tap what just happened in a meeting — a motion, a second, a vote — and the app shows which moves are in order, and why, with the section number.

Robot’s Rules on iPhone: a main motion, “That the board adopt the 2027 operating budget as presented,” moved and seconded. “Chair States Motion” is highlighted as the next step.
A motion moved and seconded; the next step in order is highlighted.
Robot’s Rules on iPhone: the verdict panel reads “Out of order: Amend does not take precedence over the immediately pending question,” citing Robert’s Rules of Order Revised, 4th ed. (1915) §12.
Out of order, with the reason and the section number.
Robot’s Rules on iPhone: the stated main motion with the available actions; moves that aren’t in order are dimmed.
Only the moves in order light up.
