Tchaku
Features

Everything Tchaku does — in one window.

Three tools presenters used to juggle — a motion editor, a live-audience platform and an AI deck generator — collapsed into one local-first studio, on macOS or in your browser.

The walkthrough

Five jobs. One studio.

The editor

A canvas built for motion and data.

Drag, snap, align — then keyframe. The same canvas handles a bar chart, a SWOT, a funnel, an org chart, and a 3D-flip title build, with a timeline below that animators will recognize.

  • 40+ chart & infographic types bar, line, donut, funnel, org chart, mind map, SWOT, branch hub
  • 12 motion effects path, 3D flip, physics, morph, glitch, typewriter and more
  • Local-first .tch files decks live on your machine, not in someone's cloud

Live audience

Polls, quizzes, word clouds — as slides.

Insert a Live Poll, Quiz, Word Cloud, Leaderboard, Scale, Ranking or Open-ended slide from the picker. The room joins by QR. Answers stream in mid-deck and animate onto the stage. When you advance the slide, the session ends — clean.

  • Seven live-audience slide types poll, quiz, word cloud, leaderboard, scale/rating, open-ended, ranking
  • QR-only join no account, no app install — your audience just scans
  • Scoring + leaderboard live quiz keeps score; the leaderboard is its own designed slide

AI generation

Describe the slide. Get the slide.

Tell Tchaku what you want. Claude drafts layout, copy, colors and animation as actual editable elements — not an image — plus AI images, narration and 3D models. Tweak anything afterwards; it's just a slide.

  • Slides, charts, images, voice & 3D describe it; it drafts as editable elements
  • Multi-model under the hood Claude · gpt-image-2 · OpenAI TTS · Meshy
  • Credit-metered — no keys to manage every plan includes monthly AI credits

Library

Start from a real template, not a wireframe.

Every slide style — chart, infographic, live audience, layout — is a real, designed starting point. Pick one, drop it in, edit on the canvas.

  • Premium live-audience designs the deck family you're looking at right now
  • Searchable picker categorized, filterable, keyboard-navigable
  • Animated previews see how a slide moves before you insert it

Tchaku Pen · iPad companion

Annotate live, straight from your iPad.

Pair the Tchaku Pen app on iPad and mark up any slide with Apple Pencil while you present. Pressure-real ink, highlighter, brush, shapes and a laser pointer — every stroke streams to the Mac and the projector in real time over your local network, then saves into the deck so it's there next time and in every export.

  • Apple Pencil, pressure-real pen, highlighter, brush, shapes, eraser, laser pointer
  • Live to the Mac + projector strokes stream over your LAN in real time, with per-slide layers
  • Saved into the deck annotations persist and export to PPTX, PDF, HTML and PNG

40+ ways to chart your story.

Every chart and infographic type is a real, editable object on the canvas — not an exported image.
