# Typedeck

> Typedeck is a native macOS presentation app that helps people make clear, polished presentations without getting lost in formatting. You focus on the message; Typedeck handles slide layout, typography, themes, and exports.

## About

Typedeck is built for people who want presentations to begin with clear thinking instead of menus, text boxes, and design chores. It provides a calm content-first workspace where users add text, images, code, tables, charts, quotes, diagrams, drawings, shapes, and PDFs, then Typedeck composes the slides automatically.

Typedeck is not only a Markdown slide writer. It can import from Markdown, Notion, and Obsidian, and it stores work in an open `.typedeck` package made from Markdown and images. Markdown is part of the workflow, but the product is a full native presentation app for creating, presenting, and exporting decks.
