TeXy

LaTeX in Easy Mode

TeXy is a LaTeX editor that runs on your desktop, works like the tools you're used to, and makes you forget you're writing LaTeX in the first place.

The TeXy window in Visual mode: an outline and file list on the left, the document “Welcome to TeXy” in the middle, and the compiled PDF preview on the right.

1Three modes of operation

A sight to behold. Prefer to write the markup? Write like it's a text doc in Source mode. Want some control but without the setup? Use Blocks mode. And if you want to forget you're writing LaTeX, Visual mode is there for you!

Source
The plain LaTeX, exactly as saved
Blocks
Equations, lists and figures become blocks, with math and citations rendering inline
Visual
A Notion-style editor that hides the markup and allows you to focus

4FAQ

Do I need to install TeX?

No! Tectonic is built in. If a document needs pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, TeXy helps you install TeX Live or MacTeX!

Can I keep working with co-authors on Overleaf?

Yes! TeXy saves plain .tex files. Sync them through Git and everyone keeps their editor.

Is there a Windows version?

Not yet.

Does TeXy send my writing anywhere?

No! Everything runs on your computer.
