About:
Pympress is a dual-screen PDF reader tailored for presentations, enabling users to display slides on a projector while viewing speaker notes and a timer on a separate display. It supports rich media embedding and interactive PDFs, making it a versatile tool for dynamic presentations. The software is built with Python and GTK, ensuring cross-platform compatibility and a lightweight footprint.
Key Features:
  • Dual-screen support for presenter and audience views
  • Timer and clock for presentation pacing
  • Support for rich media and interactive PDFs
  • Customizable layout and styling
  • Live editing with automatic file reloading
Use Cases:
  • Delivering presentations with detailed speaker notes
  • Conducting lectures or training sessions with timed segments
  • Displaying interactive PDFs in a professional setting
Alternatives:
  • Evince – Simpler PDF viewer without dedicated presentation mode
  • Okular – Feature-rich viewer but lacks optimized dual-screen presentation workflow
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader – Proprietary alternative with presentation mode but less portable
