deckk

Point it at a URL, get a PDF.

Primarily aimed at pitch decks, so angel investors, venture capitalists, and other weird people can get the actual deck locally and can upload it to a portfolio management tool, like Signed.

$ deckk "https://docsend.com/view/abc123"
PDF saved to ~/Desktop/deck.pdf

Install

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install holman/tap/deckk

With Go:

go install github.com/holman/deckk/cmd/deckk@latest

Either way, you'll need Google Chrome (or Chromium) installed locally — deckk drives it headlessly in the background. On macOS:

brew install --cask google-chrome

Usage

deckk <url> [-o output.pdf] [--email you@example.com] [--headful]

Flags:

• -o, --output — output path (default: ~/Desktop/deck.pdf)
• --email — email to use when a deck is gated. Defaults to your git config user.email. Only sent if the deck actually prompts for one.
• --headful — show the browser window (useful for debugging an adapter)
• --timeout — total timeout (default: 2m)

Adapters

deckk picks an adapter based on the URL. Today:

• docsend — handles docsend.com/view/... decks. Drives the viewer in headless Chrome, walks through each slide with the arrow key, captures a tight screenshot of just the slide, and stitches them into a PDF. Handles the email gate automatically if --email (or git user.email) is set.

Adding a new adapter means implementing one interface in internal/adapter and registering it. PRs welcome.
