Sample content

Santre Deck with fictional sample content. The window follows the layout of the established application it is built on.

02 / Capabilities

What is inside.

  • Masters, layouts and themes

    Slide masters hold layouts whose placeholders every slide inherits. Original themes, sections, headers and footers and custom slide sizes keep a long deck consistent.

  • Shapes and connectors

    Preset shapes come with adjust handles, and connectors stay glued as shapes move. Merge shapes by union, combine, fragment, intersect or subtract, and finish them with gradient fills, shadows, glows and reflections.

  • Text that fits

    Edit text in place with bullets, numbering, columns, autofit and vertical text. Warped text effects, spelling squiggles and a thesaurus are built in.

  • Charts, tables and pictures

    Native charts carry trendlines, tables take styles and pictures crop and correct on the slide. An icon gallery and a photo album command fill slides quickly.

  • Transitions and animations

    Choose from fades, pushes, 3D turns and transitions that morph one slide into the next. Entrance, emphasis, exit and motion-path animations can build a list one paragraph at a time.

  • Presenter view

    Present with a timer, clock, resizable notes, pen, laser pointer and a grid of every slide. Custom shows, rehearsed timings and looping kiosk mode cover the rest.

  • Video that just plays

    H.264, HEVC, VP9 and AV1 video and common audio formats play inside the deck, with trim and fades.

  • A complete show

    Presenter view, custom shows, rehearsed timings, pen and laser pointer are all part of the app.

  • Original starter decks

    Themes, layouts and starter decks are designed for Santre Deck, ready to adapt.

03 / Workflows

In practice.

  1. Present a quarterly review

    Start from a starter deck, swap in this quarter's charts and tables and write speaker notes under each slide. Rehearse the timings, then present in presenter view with the notes and clock on your screen.

  2. Turn an outline into slides

    Open a Markdown or text outline and each heading becomes a slide with its list items as bullets. Apply a theme, rearrange sections in the Slide Sorter and add transitions.

  3. Send handouts after the talk

    Export a PDF of notes pages or handouts with up to nine slides per page, sized for Letter or A4. Add an animated GIF preview of the deck for a chat message.

.pptx files have not yet been tested across a wide range of real-world decks. PDF export draws slide artwork as images with selectable text, and .odp, .ppt, .key and video export are not supported.

At the desk.

  • Ribbon and command palette

    Ribbon tabs with contextual tabs for the selection, a Quick Access Toolbar and a palette that finds any command by name.

  • Thumbnails and Slide Sorter

    Group slides into sections and drag whole sections to reorder the deck.

    Edit the Slide Master, Notes Master and Handout Master in their own views.

  • Selection and Animation panes

    Name, hide and reorder objects, and see every animation on a timeline.

  • Eyedropper everywhere

    Every colour menu has an eyedropper, and guides and rulers help align objects.

  • AutoRecover

    Work in progress is recovered after an unexpected quit.
