James King

James King is an independent developer who concentrates on narrowly focused productivity utilities that bridge mobile and desktop workflows. The single public offering under his GitHub label, PhonePresenter, turns any Android or iOS handset into a wireless clicker for PowerPoint, PDF, Google Slides, LibreOffice Impress, and Keynote sessions. By scanning an on-screen QR code or entering a short URL, the presenter pairs the phone with the target PC over the same local network; once connected, swipe gestures, volume keys, or an on-screen button become forward/back controls, while a miniature slide thumbnails strip and timer appear on the handset to help speakers stay on pace. The lightweight Windows agent listens on a configurable port, requires no elevated rights, and can hide in the system tray, so classrooms, conference rooms, and coworking spaces can be used without administrative hassle. Because the protocol is plain HTTP/WebSocket, firewalls rarely block it, and no Bluetooth pairing or USB dongle is needed. The project is open-source, so IT departments can audit traffic, compile from source, or wrap the executable in their own deployment package. Although the catalog is presently limited to this one bridge utility, the publisher’s issue tracker welcomes feature requests for remote laser-pointer mode, black-screen toggle, and dual-monitor awareness, suggesting that future builds may evolve into a broader remote-command toolkit. James King’s PhonePresenter is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest release and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
