Make a presentation on your phone

Every slide at once, not one at a time

The single canvas and the vertical rail are replaced by a feed: every slide as a full width card in order, each rendered at full fidelity in its 16 by 9 shape. Scrolling the feed is how you read the deck, which turns out to be a better review experience than a desktop editor, because you see structure and repetition rather than one slide in isolation.

Only the slide you tapped is editable

Tapping a card makes it the active one. Cards that are not active render read only, deliberately, so a long deck does not have twenty live editing surfaces measuring themselves at once. Tapping something inside the active card selects it and brings up the inspector for whatever it is: a chart's data grid, a table's rows, a text box's styling.

Two taps to edit text

One tap selects, two rapid taps in the same place start editing, which mirrors the double click on a desktop. It is done this way because the native double tap event is unreliable on mobile browsers, so the timing is handled explicitly. Selection also behaves differently under a finger: tapping a field inside a card selects the field directly rather than selecting the card first, so the first tap is never wasted.

Everything else is a floating control

The tool rail becomes a small floating strip on the right edge rather than a fixed column, so the layout picker, the theme panel, the element library, the slide defaults and the AI assistant are all reachable. Slides are reordered by dragging sideways along the strip at the top, and each card carries its own menu with duplicate, reset to the AI version and delete.

One thing is desktop only

The speaker notes pane is not rendered below 1024 pixels. Notes you wrote on a computer are still there, still travel with the deck, and are still readable when you present, but you cannot type or edit them on a phone. If you are drafting notes, do that part on a laptop.

How it works, in three steps

1. Step 1

   Scroll the feed to read the deck

   Every slide is a card in order at full fidelity, which is the fastest way to review structure on a small screen.

2. Step 2

   Tap once to select, twice to type

   One tap picks the card or the element. Two rapid taps in the same place opens the text for editing.

3. Step 3

   Use the floating rail for everything else

   Layout, theme, elements, deck defaults and the assistant all live in the strip on the right edge.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the guide Add, reorder and restructure slides.

Limits worth knowing

• The speaker notes pane is not available below 1024 pixels. Notes can be read while presenting but not edited.
• Only the active card is editable. Other cards render read only until you tap them.
• Presenting full screen is restricted by mobile Safari, which limits the fullscreen API, so the presentation runs as an overlay instead.
• Free positioning of dropped elements is possible but fiddly with a finger. Layout work is easier on a larger screen.
