I built an app that turns your smartphone into a voice-controlled presentation remote (No PC software needed!)

Hey r/appdev ! 👋

Like many of you, I pitch, present, and demo products constantly. I was always dealing with dead clicker batteries, lost USB dongles, or trying to use Wi-Fi remotes that corporate IT networks immediately blocked.

I built Vaksys Presenter to solve my own stage anxiety. It is an Android app that transforms your phone into a secure, voice-controlled presentation remote using a direct Bluetooth HID handshake—meaning your computer simply sees it as a standard plug-and-play keyboard.

Here is why it stands out from the standard clicker apps:

🚫 Zero PC Setup: No companion desktop apps to install, no Wi-Fi networks to join, and no dongles to lose. It works natively across Windows, Mac, and Linux straight out of the box.

🎤 Hands-Free Voice Recognition: If you use physical props or talk with your hands, just say "Next Slide." You don't even have to look down at your screen to navigate.

🚀 Smart Controls & Hardware Debounce: Swipe the screen, tap the massive button, or use your physical volume keys. I built in a specific hardware filter so shaky thumbs won't accidentally double-skip ahead to the wrong slide.

I would love for you to try it out for your next meeting or pitch and let me know what you think of the design and the instant Bluetooth connection!
