lattedit: a fully local-first LaTeX editor that runs entirely in your browser
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-10-21
lattedit is a free, local-first online LaTeX editor that keeps projects in the browser by default, exports plain ZIP archives, and only syncs if you sign in. It shows source and compiled PDF side by side.
- Supports pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, BibTeX, Biber, syntax highlighting, command completion, structured compile logs, and an accessible PDF preview
- Compilation runs in isolated short-lived workspaces with safe state reuse; exact repeated builds skip the TeX engine
- Imports Overleaf ZIPs and offers a JSON compile API aimed at software agents, with no account or API key required
