About Presnly
Presnly is a presentation remote control app designed exclusively for the Apple ecosystem. It transforms your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch into a powerful wireless presenter and clicker that works with Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, and virtually any slideshow app on your Mac, replacing $50-$100 hardware remotes with a single free download.
Our Mission
We believe that presenting should feel natural and effortless. Too many presenters are tethered to their laptops, fumbling with wireless dongles, or relying on outdated clickers with limited functionality. Presnly was built to solve this by leveraging the devices you already carry (your iPhone and Apple Watch) as intelligent, feature-rich presentation remotes.
Our goal is simple: make every presentation feel confident and polished, whether you're pitching to investors, lecturing in a classroom, or delivering a keynote on stage. We obsess over the details: instant connectivity, voice-driven teleprompter scrolling, and Apple Watch controls that let you present without anyone knowing you're using a remote.
Why Presnly?
Unlike traditional presentation remotes and hardware clickers, Presnly offers a complete presenter toolkit with features no physical remote can match:
- Universal compatibility: Works with 20+ Mac presentation apps through universal keyboard commands, not app-specific integrations that break with updates. Supports Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, Prezi, Pitch, Gamma, and more.
- Multi-device control: Seamlessly switch between iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch mid-presentation. Use your wrist for discreet control during keynotes, or hand off to a co-presenter with a single tap.
- Built-in teleprompter: Speaker notes scroll alongside your slides with voice-driven pacing, so you never lose your place. Import notes from your presentation files or write them directly in the app.
- Rehearsal analytics: Track your timing, pacing, and slide-by-slide performance to refine your delivery before the real event. Identify which slides take too long and optimize your flow.
- Team collaboration: Share remote control with co-presenters and hand off between speakers with a single tap. Perfect for panel discussions and team pitches.
- Instant connection: Connect your devices over your local network in seconds, with no Bluetooth pairing, no codes, no dongles. Everything stays on your local network for maximum speed and privacy.
How Presnly Compares
Presnly replaces physical presentation remotes like the Logitech Spotlight, Logitech R500, and Kensington Presenter with a single app that works across all presentation software. Unlike Keynote Remote, which only controls Apple Keynote, Presnly works with PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, and any other app. Unlike hardware clickers, Presnly includes a teleprompter, rehearsal analytics, slide previews, and Apple Watch support: features no physical remote offers at any price.
Built Natively for Apple
Presnly is built natively for Apple platforms using SwiftUI, ensuring a fast, responsive experience on every device. The Mac app runs as a lightweight menu bar utility that uses minimal system resources. The iOS app provides a full-featured remote with slide previews, teleprompter, and gesture controls. The watchOS app puts essential controls right on your wrist (next slide, previous slide, timer, and slide counter), all accessible with a glance.
All communication between devices stays on your local network using Apple's networking frameworks. No data is sent to external servers, no cloud accounts are required for core features, and your presentation content never leaves your devices.
System Requirements
- Mac: macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
- iPhone & iPad: iOS 17.0 or later
- Apple Watch: watchOS 10.0 or later
All devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network for automatic discovery. No internet connection is required after the initial app download.
