SplitShow for Mac

SplitShow — PDF Presenter for Dual Displays

SplitShow is a macOS utility built to present PDF slide decks across two screens. It simplifies running a presenter view while sending the slides themselves to an external monitor, helping keep notes and controls separate from what the audience sees.

Who benefits most

• Individuals who frequently need to show slides on more than one display, such as hybrid presenters or event technicians
• Business users delivering meetings and client presentations
• Instructors and trainers running classroom or lecture material

Main capabilities

SplitShow focuses on a straightforward, distraction-free workflow for PDF presentations. Key points include:

• Control of slide progression and presentation settings from the primary screen
• Clear output to the audience display while keeping private controls and notes on the presenter monitor
• Simple, approachable interface that reduces setup time

Recommended substitute: CheatSheet Free

If you prefer a free alternative, consider CheatSheet Free. It provides a no-cost option in the Utilities & Tools space, offering a lightweight way to manage slide displays without added complexity.

Quick summary

SplitShow offers a dedicated, user-friendly solution for anyone working with PDFs and multiple screens. It’s particularly helpful for people who need to separate presenter tools from the visible slide output, making multi-display presentations cleaner and easier to run.
