The origin of APS and PresentationTools
It all started when I got fed up of fumbling with the mouse to find the next presentation. The solution we found was too good to be kept to ourselves.
Powerpoint, Keynote & PDF at your fingertips
Trial version 2.1
Trial version 2.1
CPU: Both Intel and Apple Silicon CPUs are supported natively.
OS-support: 10.14 and beyond.
ACTIVATION
To use the software without restrictions you need to activate the applications with a licence. Licences can be bought from the store.
We currently offer subscription based licences with yearly payment.
To activate the application, copy your licence key-code into the activation-field and push OK.
You can use the software as much as you want in trial-mode. The only restriction is that the applications will close after 10 minutes.
On shows and events where different speakers bring their own presentations, APS is an indispensable tool for the AV-technician responsible for the visual content: You no longer have to search the Finder-menu for the next presentation. By using our commands instead, you get a smoother workflow when dealing with Powerpoint, Keynote and PDF files.
With APS, Ctrl + right arrow (PC) or Command + right arrow (Mac) will display the next presentation in the folder. This makes it easy to create a playlist of presentations: The only preparation you need is to sort them numerically in a folder. Then, during the show, just push the APS-shortcut to display the next file.
Our new image-viewer tries to solve the problem of what the presentation-computer should show to the audience when there is no presentation to display. For example, what if you are in the middle of a presentation and you discover that there is a mistake in the next slide? With APS you can now freeze the screen, exit the presentation, do edits and go back, and the audience won’t know what just happened.
And with our image-bank of 10 images you can easily display backdrops and logos before, between and after the presentations, creating a seamless and flexible workflow inside the box.
All the commands for APS can be found in the popular Companion-software, which allows you control different devices using hardware-controllers over the local network. Feedback on the buttons will show if an image is displayed or ready to be used.
With our presets found in the Companion menu it is easy to drag and drop the buttons where you need them.
Version 2.1 of APS brings more commands and feedback for our Companion-module:
With a subscription-licence you can create an account on this site where you can monitor your licences, release licences from activated computers, and manage your subscriptions registered to your email-address.

APS 2.1 gives more options to control slides and presentations through Companion:
– Open and display presentations from filenames
– Control slides in applications
Using Powerpoint with Mac has some unexpected obstacles. After many years of frustration, I finally found out a method to reliably mirror the presenter-view on a Mac in a 3-screen setup.
