Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

📐

Structured by design

Templates enforce slide layout. Density constraints mean your audience can actually read what you write.

✓

Validated up front

All errors reported together in one pass — not one at a time. Fix everything, then render.

🎤

Speaker-ready

Synchronized speaker view with your notes, next-slide preview, and elapsed timer. Press S during any presentation.

📦

Zero friction

One JAR, Java 11+. Download and run. No account, no cloud, no framework to install.

🎨

Themeable

Built-in light and dark themes, plus a JSON schema for fully custom themes with per-template backgrounds.

⚙️

Configurable

CLI flags, project config, and global config — highest priority wins. Set your preferences once.
