Beamer Notes lets you read Beamer speaker notes on iPad while writing, sketching, and highlighting directly on your slides. Connect an external display to show slides and annotations while keeping notes and controls private. An iPhone can act as a remote for a nearby iPad, while iPhone Duo adapts its workspace as the device opens or closes. SLIDES AND SPEAKER NOTES • Open Beamer PDFs with separate slide and speaker-notes areas. • Switch between Slide and Notes, Notes Only, and Slide Only layouts. Standard PDFs and manual page splitting are also supported. • See the current slide, next-slide preview, speaker notes, page position, and a private countdown together. • Work with 16:9, 4:3, and portrait documents, a slide overview, and tabs for multiple decks. ANNOTATIONS AND INDEPENDENT WHITEBOARDS • Use Apple Pencil, highlighters, erasers, the lasso, and ruler, with undo and redo. • Automatically tidy hand-drawn lines, circles, ellipses, and rectangles, with adjustable sensitivity. • Guide attention with a laser dot or trail, and add photos or text. • Create independent multipage whiteboards with white or black pages without changing the original PDF. • Save, switch, rename, and delete whiteboards. Export them to the PDF library or share them with other apps. AUDIENCE DISPLAY • Use a wired external display or AirPlay Screen Mirroring for a separate audience view. • Cast to compatible Chromecast or Google Cast devices while keeping notes and controls on iPad. • Temporarily blank the audience view while preparing the next part of your presentation. IPHONE REMOTE AND IPHONE DUO • Connect an iPhone to a nearby presenting iPad and see the current slide, next slide, and speaker notes. • Turn pages, control the countdown, guide with the laser, and quickly reach the library or settings. • Fully open iPhone Duo for a complete presenter workspace arranged across its displays. • Close iPhone Duo to continue on the outer display with a compact connection and remote-control experience. LIBRARY AND TUTORIALS • Organize PDFs in folders, browse cover thumbnails, use the slide overview, and rename documents from their tabs. • Share PDFs from other apps, then open Beamer Notes to receive them. • Store and sync the PDF library through iCloud Drive. • Choose light or dark appearance and an English or Traditional Chinese interface. • Bundled 16:9 and 4:3 tutorials visually explain presenting, drawing, projection, remote control, timing, and whiteboards. iPad provides the full presentation and drawing experience. A standard iPhone primarily works as a remote. When fully open, iPhone Duo provides a presenter workspace adapted for its dual displays. Ink, added photos and text, and independent whiteboards stay on the device where they were created and do not automatically sync through iCloud. Whiteboards saved as PDFs can sync through the PDF library. The free version allows 3 distinct non-tutorial PDFs. Reopening a counted document does not use another credit; tutorials are free. Whiteboards have a separate allowance of 3 creations in total, with up to 2 pages each. Deleting does not restore a use. A one-time Full Version purchase removes PDF credit limits and whiteboard count and page limits.
