lattedit launches a local-first browser LaTeX editor with a free compile API for agents
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-11-13
lattedit is a free, local-first online LaTeX editor showing source and compiled PDF side by side, with projects kept in the browser by default and exportable as plain ZIPs (sync only after sign-in).
- Supports pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, BibTeX and Biber, plus images, bibliography files, syntax highlighting, command completion, structured compile logs and an accessible PDF preview
- Compilation runs in isolated short-lived workspaces; safe auxiliary state is reused between edits and exact repeated builds skip the TeX engine
- Can import Overleaf ZIPs and offers a JSON compile API with no account or API key required, explicitly aimed at software agents
