Professional-quality presentation tool
Project Canvas is a multimedia presentation tool, much like industry giant PowerPoint, but comes at a fraction of the cost. Create click-by-click adventure games, interactive tutorials, storybooks, school presentations, and more.
Cross platform & feature rich
Sporting a cross-platform compatible file format, Project Canvas files can also contain an unlimited number of cards and buttons. Buttons can perform a variety of actions from getting and setting variables, playing movies, and transitioning between cards with visual effects to playing sounds, playing music, speaking text, prompting the user for feedback and more!
Deploy stand-alone applications
One of the most versatile features of Project Canvas is the ability to export a Stand Alone copy of a stack. The stack will be exported as an executable file that can be run without having to have Project Canvas installed! In addition, specify special kiosk-style features like hiding the menubar or making the stack run full screen.

User Reviews
"Kind of like PowerPoint, but at a much lower cost and way more versatile! You can use it for work or play alike. Presentations, adventure games, stories… you can pretty much do anything you like with this one. I'm sold." — Vincent Malorie
"I love messing around with programs like these and this one has definitely struck my fancy. I could spend hours just messing around with it yet I have no doubt that I will be able to create some really amazing things with it when I really put my mind to it. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion!" — Vivian Oak
"I personally can't stand Microsoft Powerpoint. I've been looking for a Mac alternative to it for a while, and I think I've finally found exactly what I needed. You can do so many things with it. Whatever you do, don't let it's humble appearance fool you! This is a very powerful tool!" — Tyler Hughs
"It's interactive! You can even use the actual app to draw your own images without needing the aid of a third-party. That feature alone sold me, but there are so many others. You can use it with things like music and movies or just plain text. Very diverse and well put-together. Recommended for sure." — Nicolle Diachuk
"Project Canvas is like a labyrinth of features! You wouldn't expect it to be able to do so much just by looking at it at first. A few clicks later though, you'll see what I mean. Highly recommended not just as a replacement for MS PowerPoint, but as its own standalone application as well." — Jeremy Donald
"I'm actually quite impressed with what this app can do. I was skeptical about it at first, but I figured I might as well try it out because it was included in the Utility Package that I bought. That was the day I learned not to judge an app by its cover! I think this one deserves every bit of credit it's been given so far." — Brenna Fox
"Simple and fun. Once you get into it, you can do great things. Don't overlook the possibilities that this app harbours! Another great one from Koingo, and once again, I'm impressed." — Claire Frampton
"This app is so underrated sometimes. All you need to do is give it a chance, people. It takes a bit of poking around, but once you get started, it's an easy and effective process. It doesn't take much at all to accomplish a lot with this app. I recommend this over Power Point for sure!" — Dominique Linden
"A perfect partner to my work obligations. It's made my life a lot easier, and knowing that it supports independent Mac development and not just another huge corporate scheme makes me want to recommend it all the more. It's like Microsoft Power Point, but without the huge price tag or corporate background. Functionality and cost-effectiveness are always two things I look for in things like this, and Project Canvas hits both the marks. Two thumbs up!" — Steven Mark
"I've been working on making a game using this app. It's coming along great. I've been searching for a good app that would allow me to do that for a while and I'm really glad I discovered this one. It's a tonne of fun and pretty easy to figure out once you get it going. Perfect if you're looking to gain some retro gaming knowledge and have a good time doing it." — Eric Marshall
