What's in it for everyone?

For speakers

Less stress, more control

• Script every step in advance — know exactly what happens and when
• No more forgetting commands or copy-pasting under pressure
• Use shortcuts or clicks to move forward smoothly

Eliminate context switching

• No more jumping between PowerPoint, terminal, and editor
• Slides, code, and terminal are all in one place — your editor

More polished delivery

• Highlight code, reveal snippets, or run commands with precision
• Add timing, notes, and even typing animations for pacing
• Supports PowerPoint and Keynote triggers if you need hybrid flow

Reusable & repeatable

• Script it once. Use it at multiple events, workshops, or recordings
• Easier to maintain and adapt over time (especially with YAML support)

For attendees

Clearer learning experience

• Focus is directed where it matters (highlighting, timed reveals)
• Less filler time — more signal, less noise
• Fewer "wait, let me fix this real quick" moments from the speaker

Shareable demos

• Speakers can share the actual .demo file and attendees can replay it
• Attendees can go through the demo at their own pace after the talk
• Great for workshops, onboarding, or learning follow-up

Better flow, better focus

• No awkward pauses, switching windows, or breaking momentum
• The speaker stays in rhythm — and so does the audience

Testimonials

• Already used it for my first demo and already planning next one 🤩. Code highlight and run VS Code commands are my favorite features of this tool that allow me to cover most of my demo cases already 😍 Congrats on that awesome work👏

• Had the pleasure of using Demo Time for a community call demo, its very good, well thought out and found it really useful. I primarily used it for highlighting code as I was talking through a Copilot agent sample. Really useful and highly recommend. I most certainly will be using on future demos considering how easy it is to setup. Thank you 👏

• I love using VSCode for all my presentations & code demos. With DemoTime you can automate many aspects of VSCode, like showing and highlighting code, changing code, run terminal commands and more! It's a super flexible framework to run demos.
