Keep your presentation moving with a tap on Apple Watch. TokTokTok lets you advance or go back while you speak, so you can focus on your audience. For presentations on a Mac, install and run the TokTokTok Helper, then follow the connection guidance in the iPhone app. The helper requires Accessibility permission to control supported presentation apps. Use it with workflows such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and PDFs; behavior depends on the app and presentation mode. Presenting from an iPad? Open a PDF from Files in TokTokTok and show it full screen. Use the watch to turn pages, or tap the edges of the iPad screen. Add a short animation to a presentation and choose where it appears. Browse motions in the shop and manage your choices in the app. Optional in-app purchases include paid motions and ad removal. Check the purchase screen for details. A compatible Apple Watch and a Mac with the helper, or an iPad for PDF presentations, are required for these workflows.
