Time your slides, and drive your Quarto presentations from your iPhone and Apple Watch: next slide with a double tap, a buzz when time is up, your notes in your hand.

How it works

1. Add the extension to your presentation: quarto add Nenuial/quarto-qremote, then revealjs-plugins: [qremote] in the YAML header. Give slides a time if you like: ## My slide {timing="45"}.
2. Open QRemote Relay on the Mac that shows the presentation, then open the rendered presentation in your browser. It connects on its own.
3. Open QRemote on your iPhone: it finds your Mac. Your Apple Watch uses the iPhone’s settings. Go!

Local network only: nothing goes to the internet

Made for timed talks

Pitches, PechaKucha, lessons, conference talks: anywhere the clock matters. Each slide can have its own time; slides without one simply show how long you have spent on them. The speaker view shows where you should be by the end of each slide, and the iPhone shows whether you are ahead of or behind schedule.

No account, no cloud, no data collected: everything stays on your local network. Privacy.

The iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac apps are coming soon to the App Store. The Quarto extension works on its own today, as a speaker-view timer.
