Features
TalkWeaver covers a talk from the first outline to the handout you share afterwards. Each page below describes one part of that.
Writing and slide design
Write the talk as a Markdown outline. Every heading becomes a designed slide as you type.

- A registry of designed layouts
- The Inspector and the action bar
- Slides that are easier to read
- AI chat and terminal slides
- Keyboard shortcuts for writing
Presenting
A presenter view with notes and a clock, a pen and pointer, interactive pages, the QR code from any slide, and slides you make on the spot.
