Presentation remote
Over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth LE, the phone puts a circle of light, a magnifier, or a dot on the computer screen. Tilt to aim. Previous and next change the slide.
Remote: Android 8+. Receiver: Mac Apple Silicon (macOS 13+, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), Windows 10+ (preview), Linux (X11 or XWayland, preview), Android tablet (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). iPhone is not supported.
The remote is the Android app. The receiver goes where the slides run: Mac, Windows, Linux, or another Android.

Three steps
Over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth LE, with no system pairing and no clicker to charge. After the first code, reconnect with a single tap.
01
On a Mac it is a menu-bar app. On Windows, open it from the Start menu. On an Android tablet, open Slide Spotlight Receiver. Choose Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or both. Leave the deck fullscreen, in front.
02
Frame the QR code, or tap the discovered device in the list (marked with a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi icon). You only enter the 4-digit code the first time: it connects automatically on the 4th digit and remembers your phone.
03
The top of the phone aims at the slide. Drag up or down to widen the spotlight and the magnifier. Lift your finger and the circle of light on the screen goes off.
On the big screen
The circle of light sits on the screen, over the deck, not inside one app. Arrow keys go to whichever app is in front.
The screen dims and a circle stays around the point you indicate. If you want, a yellow ring and a sharp inside. Drag to change the radius while you hold.
Enlarges the area you aim at, so a small chart reads from the back row. On a Mac it needs Screen Recording permission.
A colored point, like a laser. Red, amber, white, green, blue, or a color of your own. Pro can leave a trail behind it.
Previous and next, even when you are not pointing. Volume up is next, volume down is previous.
And with other apps that change slides using the right and left arrow keys. The receiver runs on a Mac, on Windows, on Linux, or on an Android tablet. Names belong to their owners.
On the phone
Only between the two devices
The phone talks only to the computer you chose, on the local network. Without the code shown on that computer, the connection does not start.
There is no login. We do not receive the contents of your slides, and no server of ours records how you use it.
The receiver shows it next to the QR code. Pointer commands stay on that session.
The gyroscope works out the movement while you hold the pad. Readings are not stored.
Once, for good
No subscription. Pro stays on the Google account you buy it with.
