Aimo turns your iPhone into a wireless laser pointer and presentation remote for your computer. Move your hand, and a glowing red dot follows on the big screen โ€” just like a real laser pointer. Hold to draw highlights over your slides, flip pages, and zoom, all from the phone in your hand. Wearing an Apple Watch? Point and control your presentation right from your wrist. HOW IT WORKS Open the free Aimo companion app on your Mac or Windows PC, open your document, and scan the QR code with your iPhone. That's it โ€” no accounts, no setup, no cables. POINT NATURALLY Aimo uses your phone's motion sensors to move the pointer the way you'd point a finger. Smooth, responsive, and precise โ€” it feels like the laser is coming out of your phone. HIGHLIGHT AS YOU TALK Hold the highlight pad to draw over your slides in real time. Circle a number, underline a sentence, mark what matters. Your marks stay on each page as you navigate, and clear with a tap. WORKS WITH YOUR DOCUMENTS Present PDF files, plus Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (using the free LibreOffice helper on your computer). Open a document on the desktop companion and present it fullscreen with your pointer on top. APPLE WATCH INCLUDED Leave your phone in your pocket. The Aimo watch app lets you point with your wrist, change slides, and highlight โ€” a presentation remote you literally wear. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your local Wi-Fi network.
