Everything you need
to present code beautifully.
Run code right inside your slides. Results appear inline — no switching windows, no copy-pasting output.
Generate full decks from a prompt, write speaker notes per slide, plan structure, create images, and chat with your content. Pragmatic AI built for professionals — not gimmicks.
Code blocks reference actual files on disk and auto-reload on save. Edit in VS Code, run in lecta — always in sync.
From minimal Apple Keynote to warm editorial Paper to high-contrast Keynote Dark — each theme is crafted with matching typography.
Attach PDFs, Excel files, and images directly to slides. Everything travels with your deck — no broken links, no missing files.
Arrow keys navigate slides, ⌘↵ executes code, F5 starts the presentation. Stay in flow without reaching for the mouse.
Built on the tools
you already use.
Eight slide themes
for every context.
Two views, one presentation.
Everyone sees what they need.
Your private view: full speaker notes, elapsed timer, and next-slide preview — all on your second screen while the audience sees only the slide.
A clean, distraction-free view for your audience — with optional artifacts like query results, charts, or live previews appearing on demand.
Built by orbit.
lecta is built openly — by humans and AI alike.
Claude helped write the code. Cursor helped navigate it. That's how modern software gets made, and we think that's a good thing. If you want to improve lecta, every tool at your disposal is welcome — AI-assisted PRs included.
