Pympress is a dual-screen PDF presentation tool that shows slides on a projector while giving the presenter a private view with notes, current and next slides. It supports embedded media via VLC or GStreamer, text annotations, and beamer's notes-on-second-screen mode.
Use cases
- present a pdf slideshow on a projector with a presenter console
- show beamer slides with notes on a second screen
- play embedded videos and gifs in a pdf presentation
- give talks with a notes view showing current and next slide
- present libreoffice-exported pdfs with notes pages
When to choose
- you present PDF slides (especially LaTeX beamer) on a dual-screen setup
- you need presenter notes, timers, and media playback in one tool
- you want a free, cross-platform alternative to Impress or PowerPoint presenter view
When to avoid
- you need to edit or create slides rather than present them
- you need native PowerPoint/Keynote file support
- you only need a plain single-screen PDF reader
