What It Does
A free, native macOS app that transforms your .tex files into publication-ready documents with livepreview,
bibliography support, and full equation rendering.
Smart Editor
Live Preview
See your converted document in real time as you work. Click any element in the preview to jump to the
corresponding line in your source.
Autocomplete
\ref{} and \cite{} commands auto-complete from your document labels and bibliography keys as you type.
Code Folding
Collapse and expand LaTeX environments and sections with fold indicators in the gutter. Focus on the section
you're writing.
Grammar & Style Checking
Toggle grammar checking to highlight passive voice, wordy phrases, jargon, hedging language, and long sentences —
tuned for academic writing.
Split Editor
View and edit two source files side by side. Reference one section while writing another, or compare a template
with your document.
Image Drag & Drop
Drag image files directly into the editor to automatically insert \includegraphics commands with the correct path.
Writing Tools
AI Assistant
An on-device AI assistant that helps write LaTeX code, fix syntax errors, and explain commands. Powered by Apple
Intelligence — your documents never leave your Mac. (Requires macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled.)
Symbol Picker
Browse and insert from a visual grid of over 200 LaTeX symbols organized by category — Greek letters, math
operators, arrows, relations, and more.
Snippet Library
22 built-in reusable code fragments for figures, tables, equations, lists, beamer frames, and more — with tab-stop
placeholders for fast editing. Add your own custom snippets.
Visual Table Editor
Design LaTeX tables visually using a spreadsheet-like grid. Set column alignments, toggle booktabs styling, add
captions and labels, and preview the generated code in real time.
Template Browser
Start new documents from 8 built-in academic templates — article, report, thesis, beamer presentation, letter,
book, CV, and homework assignments.

Quick access to text styles, font sizes, alignment, sections, lists, environments, and common LaTeX structures.
