Easily manage your servers and sites through your mobile phone! What permissions does this app require and why? *Internet connection* Obviously, we need an active internet connection to retrieve data. *Push notifications* This is optional, if you allow push notifications you can set up the channels inside your Ploi account to get push notifications on deploys for example. *Haptic feedback* When you're using pull to refresh, we send out a little signal to your haptic feedback engine so you get a better feeling of when you've pulled far enough, and once its done. *Biometrics* You can protect your app by using Face ID or Touch ID.

About

Nodus Presenter

Features
Read full description

Present with room to think. Nodus Presenter turns your iPhone or iPad into a native remote for PDF Presenter in Nodus Research on Mac, Windows or Linux. Scan the App iPhone–iPad QR code in Nodus to pair. See the current slide, keep your presenter notes close, and move through your presentation with buttons, taps or the slide grid. • Give your notes the space they need: adjust the slide/notes split and text size. • Read ahead privately without changing what your audience sees. Show or hide the next-slide preview. • Guide attention with a pointer, Spotlight, drawing and a magnifier. Adjust active tools beside the slide controls. • Play or pause an embedded video and adjust its volume. These controls appear only on slides with video; playback takes place on the computer. On Mac, volume controls the system output; on Windows and Linux, it controls the presentation video. • Track your timing: tap the timer to start or pause, or hold to reset. • Blank the audience screen and restore it with a tap. • Choose from nine accent colors and System, Light or Dark appearance. Enjoy native Liquid Glass on iOS and iPadOS 26. • Try the built-in local demo before pairing a computer. The app follows your device’s language: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Other languages fall back to English. Requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later and a version of Nodus Research with native Presenter pairing. On Mac, keep Wi-Fi enabled on both devices; the existing direct connection can work without the room’s router, depending on the devices and environment. Windows and Linux require both devices to be reachable on the same local network. 100% free, with no purchases, subscriptions, app account, ads or analytics. Presentation data travels between your paired devices. The demo simulates remote controls and does not change the computer’s volume.
