history
Project history and usage
Pympress is a cross-platform dual-screen presenter console for PDF slide decks.
Project history
Pympress was originally created and maintained by Schnouki before development moved to Cimbali's repository and a broader contributor community.
The project evolved from a dual-screen PDF reader into a configurable presenter console with timers, notes, media playback, overview navigation, annotations, presentation caching, and support for multiple note-page conventions.
Adoption history
Pympress spread through Linux distribution packages and later gained documented installation paths for Homebrew, MacPorts, Windows Package Manager, Chocolatey, PyPI, and other community channels. The supplied package facts likewise record packages across major Unix-like and Windows package managers.
How it is used
Open a deck through the graphical chooser or run `pympress slides.pdf`. The presenter display can show the current and next slides, notes, timers, annotations, and overview navigation while the audience display remains presentation-focused.
Preferences and custom key bindings are stored in a platform-specific configuration file. The active configuration path is shown in the application's Help > About window.
Why package nerds care
Pympress gives package-manager users a portable, open-source presenter console without tying the workflow to a particular slide-authoring suite. Its support for Beamer notes, LibreOffice notes pages, embedded media, automatic reload, and editable PDF annotations makes it especially attractive to technical speakers.
Timeline
- Origins: Schnouki created and initially maintained Pympress.
- Community-maintenance era: Development continued under Cimbali with broader packaging, media support, and presenter features.
Related projects
- LaTeX Beamer and LibreOffice can produce note layouts that Pympress detects and presents on the speaker display.
- GStreamer or VLC can provide playback for media embedded in presentation PDFs.
