Ahaslide is truly the most interactive and engaging platform I’ve used that also efficiently accommodates teaching progress. It’s incredibly useful. I’m very curious about the Add-in feature for PowerPoint—will there be an opportunity to implement it in Keynote for Mac in the future? I’m looking forward to it!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback! May we know more about your work, the constraints you face, and the specific challenges you encounter with AhaSlides not being Mac-friendly? Your insights would help us better understand the demand and potential impact.
At the moment, AhaSlides doesn’t have a concrete plan for Keynote integration. However, if there is a clear market demand, we are open to exploring it, as integrating with third-party platforms is a key part of AhaSlides’ strategy.
Plus 1 for this. Aha is awesome and I use it regularly. At the moment, if I also have a Keynote as part of the days events/presentation I have to switch between them. Aha as a slide platform is not capable enough to do it all, and switching is downright clunky. I belive it’s possible to embed straight into powerpoint - replicating that capability in Keynote would be awesome. I and many other presenters I know prefer Keynote over PP for it’s user friendliness and Mac nativeness. I have personally recommended Aha to at least 3 fellow mac/keynote users who have rejected it because of the incompatibility. Great product AHA, make it even better
Here’s a vote for this from me as well. I use AHAslides all the time, and have to switch between Keynote and a browser window. It’s not that professional. I’d prefer a plug in for Keynote like you have for PowerPoint. Surely it’s not that hard to do? And you’d attract a lot of Mac users if you did. (It’s a chicken and egg story, and in this case, you need to build the integration first, and then see Mac users coming your way.)
As a Mac user, I share the same thoughts. Bouncing between Keynote and Chrome mid-presentation really kills the flow of my session. Sometimes I forget to switch back in time, so I miss when people start answering. I always wonder if that happens to others too or if it’s just me
