prictl is a tool used to control slides in presentations from other devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, or smartwatches. It works with any presentation application and is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD. With prictl, you can easily move forward or backward in slides over your local network.

Make sure Python is installed on your primary device:
Download Python -
Install dependencies:
pip install -r src/requirements.txt

Run prictl:
cd src python main.py
Once the server is running on your main device, open the web page on another device connected to the same local network to control your slides.
- Default HTTP port:
8000(can be changed inmain.pyif needed) - Future options for customizing slide controls
