Blitz

A simple presentation app that enforces a specific format:

• 20 slides
• 15 seconds each
• 5 minutes total

To use, drop a PDF or Keynote file (you'll need iWork '09 installed for Keynote support) onto its icon. Blitz assumes you'll have 20 slides at 1280x720.

Requires Mac OS X 10.6 (though Kevin Mitchell has a 10.5-happy fork here).

Please report bugs and request features on the Lighthouse project site. Want to chip in? Here's what needs to be done.
