What Deckset is
Deckset is presentation software that turns Markdown notes into formatted slides while you write. On Mac, it works with the text editor you prefer; the iPhone and iPad app includes its own editor. Presentations can contain images, video, audio, code, formulas, charts, diagrams, tables, presenter notes, and timers, with presenter mode for delivery. More than 25 built-in themes are available, and custom themes can define fonts, colors, and layouts. Deckset exports PDFs and slide images, while the Mac app offers browser presentations through an HTML beta export. Data-driven charts are a beta feature using CSV or JSON with Observable Plot. AppleScript controls are supported on Mac, and a skill for compatible AI coding tools can create or revise presentations. Deckset runs on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. It is aimed at team presentations, lectures, technical talks, pitches, and updates.
