Need help? Email pitch-mode@chrisarrow.com. Include your iPhone model and iOS version, and if a deck won't open, say whether it came from PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Getting started

Open a .pptx from Files, Mail or the share sheet and choose Pitch Mode, or tap Try the sample deck on first launch.

To present, connect a display: Screen Mirroring to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV from Control Center, or a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Present becomes available a moment after the display connects. The TV shows only the slide; your iPhone shows notes, the next slide, the timer and controls.

No TV? Use Rehearse to practice with the slide full screen, your notes and a timer.

Questions

The TV shows my whole iPhone screen instead of the slide.

Start Screen Mirroring before tapping Present, then wait a second or two for the green "Display connected" label in Prep.

A slide looks different from PowerPoint.

Pitch Mode draws slides on the iPhone, and some fonts and effects can differ. For pixel-perfect slides, export the same deck to PDF and add it in Prep from the ⋯ menu (Use PDF Export for Slides). Animations, transitions and embedded video aren't supported.

Some slides are missing.

Hidden slides are skipped while presenting. They're still in the slide grid if you need a backup slide. You can change this in Settings.

How do I use Quick Jump?

In Prep, tap a slide and add a tag such as "Pricing" or "Security". While presenting, a button for each tag jumps straight there, and Back to slide N takes you back.

Does my clicker work?

Bluetooth presentation clickers and keyboards that send arrow keys, Page Up/Down or Space work in both Present and Rehearse.

Where are my decks stored?

Only on your iPhone. Pitch Mode has no account and no server. See the privacy policy.

iPhone Duo

Open flat, the presenter console splits across the inner display with nothing on the fold. Stand it up like a book and the controls get larger.
