About the App
Write what you want to say in plain text. Truly Simple Slide Deck automatically styles it into a beautiful presentation.
No complex formatting ribbons, cluttered menus, or spinning loading wheels. Just type your thoughts, separate them into slides, and let the app handle the design and presentation.
Present directly from your device using the built-in presenter view (complete with speaker notes and upcoming slide thumbnails), or export your finished deck as a PDF, webpage, or ultra-portable Markdown file. Sync your progress instantly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud.
Every core feature is completely free. A one-time, lifetime purchase unlocks custom themes, custom colors, and custom fonts—with absolutely no subscriptions. Buy once, own forever.

Tips & More Info
Markdown is wonderful because it prevents software lock-in. You can write your presentation in any text editor, then copy-paste or import it directly into Truly Simple Slide Deck. If you prefer to write natively in the app, you'll see your slides emerge and format in real-time as you type.
Pro-tip for structuring: Outline what you want to say first. Let your narrative dictate the slide count, then insert slide breaks where appropriate, rather than trying to fill pre-made layouts.
Pro-tip for media: On macOS, drag and drop images directly into the thumbnail sidebar to replace placeholder graphics. On iOS, tap the plus icon in the top-right corner of any placeholder image to select a replacement.
