About SlideX
Use AI and agents to create editable presentations locally. OpenSlideX keeps your source close and exports HTML, MDX, and editable PPTX. Use AI and agents to move the work forward, then shape every slide in a local Workspace. Presentation work breaks down when ideas are scattered across tools, the source is locked away, and the final file is hard to revise. Preview locally, then export HTML, MDX, or editable PPTX for the way the work needs to travel.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
