Versions:
PhonePresenter, currently at version 2.1.2 and representing its second major release, is a Windows utility developed by James King that turns any Android or iOS handset into a wireless remote for PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDF-based decks, and other presentation formats. After a one-time pairing over the local network, the phone’s touchscreen becomes a swipe or tap controller for advancing, rewinding, or jumping to a specific slide, while an on-screen timer and battery indicator help speakers stay within their allotted slot. The software is frequently installed on conference-room laptops, classroom lecterns, and trade-show kiosks where the presenter must move freely without being tethered to a mouse or keyboard; it is equally useful for webinar hosts who want to advance slides while standing before a camera or whiteboard. Because commands are transmitted through a lightweight HTTP server running on the PC, no Internet connection or Bluetooth pairing is required, and firewall rules are automatically configured during setup. The 2.x branch added support for portrait and landscape phone orientations, customizable swipe gestures, and a dark-mode interface that reduces glare in low-light auditoriums. PhonePresenter belongs to the “Presentation Tools” category and is distributed as a signed 32-/64-bit executable that runs on Windows 10 and 11. The program is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
