Description
What is Pympress?
Pympress is a PDF presentation tool designed for dual-screen setups such as presentations and public talks. Highly configurable, fully-featured, and portable
It comes with many great features (more below):
- supports embedded gifs and videos
- text annotations displayed in the presenter window
- natively supports beamer's notes on second screen!
Pympress is a free software, distributed under the terms of the GPL license (version 2 or, at your option, any later version).
Pympress was originally created and maintained by Schnouki, on his repo.
Here is what the 2 screen setup looks like, with a big notes slide next to 2 small slides (current and next) on the presenter side:
