The Anti PowerPoint Party (APPP) is a Swiss political party dedicated to decreasing professional use of Microsoft PowerPoint and other presentation software, which the party claims "causes national-economic damage amounting to 2.1 billion CHF" and lowers the quality of a presentation in "95 % of the cases".[1] The party advocates flip charts as an alternative to presentation software.[2]

APPP was formed by former software engineer Matthias Poehm ahead of the 2011 federal elections in Switzerland.[3] The party's goal is to become the fourth largest party in Switzerland in terms of membership, and to initiate a national "referendum in order to seek for a prohibition of PowerPoint [and other presentation software] during presentations."[1] APPP states that it does not support prohibition, but will use a referendum to raise awareness about the cause.[1]
