DeckCraft
Free, open-source presentation app, a clean-room take on Microsoft PowerPoint.
Our verdict
DeckCraft is for people who want a free slide editor to try on simple decks. Skip it if you need faithful PowerPoint files or the rest of Microsoft 365.
What it does well
- Covers 84% of PowerPoint's features by breadth per its README
- Free and open source on desktop and in the browser
- Installers for Windows, macOS and Linux
Where it falls short
- Alpha; README estimates about 55% of the way to replacing PowerPoint
- Percentages are the developers' own estimates
- Young project; versions are still 0.x
DeckCraft is a presentation app written in Rust. Its README describes it as a clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft PowerPoint.
The README calls it alpha and points to a roadmap, a gaps list and a feature checklist for what is still missing.
