How Deckset works

Make a presentation in three steps

Write your notes, preview the slides, then present or export.

01

Write your notes

Start with what you already have.
02

Preview the slides

Deckset applies the theme and layout as you write.
03

Present or export

Rehearse, present live, or share a PDF.

30-second walkthrough

“It’s the kind of program that begs you to save time with it…”

Macworld

“The presentation looks simple and chic and is easy to accomplish.”

TNW

“A macOS app called Deckset towers over them all for me.”

Brian P. Hogan

Simple underneath

Your presentation stays a plain-text Markdown file, easy to edit, share, and reuse.

Write in Markdown. Deckset takes care of the slides.

Write anywhere

Use the editor you prefer

On Mac, write Markdown in your preferred text editor. On iPhone and iPad, write directly in the iOS app.

Build with structure

Let Markdown shape the slides

Headings, paragraphs, and lists create slides with a consistent layout. Choose a theme, then keep writing.

Keep details close

Presenter notes stay off-screen

Keep context in presenter notes, preview the next slide, and rehearse with timing before you present.

Add what you need

More than plain text

Add images, video, tables, code, math, diagrams, columns, and custom themes while keeping the source readable.

Keep it simple

One source from draft to PDF

Your presentation stays a plain-text file that’s easy to edit, version, reuse, and export as a PDF.

Move between devices

Open the same presentation on Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Prepare at your desk, make a last-minute edit on iPad, and present from iPhone without recreating the presentation.

A few useful answers

Questions before you start?

You only need a few Markdown basics to make your first presentation. Learn more features when you need them.

Visit Deckset support

Do I need to know Markdown?

No. You only need a few Markdown basics, and Deckset includes example presentations you can edit.

Can I use notes I have already written?

Yes. Headings create structure, paragraphs and lists become slides, and presenter notes keep the details off the screen.

Does Deckset design every slide for me?

Deckset applies your theme and lays out each slide as you write. You can still choose themes and add precise styling when a presentation calls for it.

Where can I use Deckset?

Deckset is available for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The Mac app works with your preferred text editor, while the iOS app includes an editor for working directly on the device.

Can Deckset work with AI-generated notes?

Yes. Review and refine an AI-generated outline, then open it in Deckset. The Deckset AI Slide Builder Skill also helps compatible agents produce Deckset-ready presentations.
