# iA Presenter

> Markdown presentation app that builds slides from your script

iA Presenter is a presentation app for Mac, iPad and iPhone in which a talk is written as Markdown text rather than laid out slide by slide. Headings and images become slide content, ordinary paragraphs become private speaker notes, and the app picks a responsive layout for each slide. Decks can be exported to PDF, PowerPoint, HTML, images or Markdown, or published as a web link from the Mac app.

## Key features

- **Text-first editor:** A talk is written in a Markdown editor. Titles and visuals show on the slide, while regular paragraphs stay as speaker notes that only the presenter sees.
- **Automatic layouts:** The app analyzes each slide's content and chooses a layout that adapts to the display. Fixed aspect ratios are also available, including 16:9, 4:3, 9:16 and square.
- **Themes and custom themes:** Built-in themes can be adjusted for fonts, colors, headers and footers, and every slide updates to match. Custom themes can be written from scratch in HTML and CSS.
- **Teleprompter:** Presentation mode shows the script on a teleprompter beside the slides the audience sees, with a timer. On iPhone and iPad, speaker notes appear as subtitles instead.
- **Tables and charts:** Tables are written in Markdown, and adding a line of metadata turns a table into a chart that stays in sync with its data. CSV blocks handle larger datasets.
- **Export and Web Sharing:** Exports to PDF, PowerPoint (beta), HTML, images and Markdown. Web Sharing, in the Mac app, publishes a deck as a link that stays available for one year by default.

## Good for

- Speakers who would rather write a script than arrange slides
- Markdown users who want slides and a readable handout from one text file
- Teachers and lecturers who keep detailed notes behind sparse slides

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan: after the 7-day Mac trial it needs a subscription or a one-time purchase, and one-time purchases are charged per platform.
- The pricing page lists Mac, iPad and iPhone only; there is no Windows, Android or web version on it.
- Web Sharing runs from the Mac app and is not included with App Store purchases; one-time Mac licenses get a short trial of it.
- iA says a one-time payment covers the current version and major updates may cost extra. PowerPoint export is labeled beta.
