Keynote 7.0 is Apple's presentation app for Mac, known for clean, design-led slides that look polished without much effort. You start from an Apple-designed theme, drop in text, photos, charts and shapes, and present with cinematic transitions like Magic Move, which animates objects smoothly between slides. It is the presentation tool built into the Apple ecosystem, with companion apps on iPhone and iPad and editing in a browser via iCloud.com.

Unlike Apple's professional creative apps, Keynote is free. Creating, viewing and editing presentations does not require a subscription — you simply download Keynote from the Mac App Store at no cost. Version 7.0 is an older release; the App Store will offer the newest version your version of macOS supports, and Keynote opens Microsoft PowerPoint files as well as exporting back to PowerPoint and PDF.
