MathHover
Type LaTeX next to your cursor in any app — free, offline
MathHover opens a math panel right next to your cursor in any app. Type familiar tokens, pick from live typeset candidates, and press Enter — the LaTeX lands back where you were. It remembers the delimiter style each destination wants, so ChatGPT gets \( \), Obsidian gets $ $, and your terminal gets raw LaTeX. No account, no cloud, no AI calls — everything that turns your keystrokes into an equation runs locally. Free to use today, and v1.0 is going open source under Apache-2.0.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I build tools for people who write math.
Every workflow I've had breaks at the same moment: I'm writing in a chat, a note, or a doc, and I need one equation. So I stop, open a separate editor, fight with syntax I half-remember, copy the result, and come back. The equation takes ten seconds. The context switch takes a minute.
MathHover is my attempt to delete that minute. One shortcut opens a math panel right where your cursor already is. You type familiar tokens, live typeset candidates appear, you pick one, press Enter — and the LaTeX is pasted straight back into the app you were in. It remembers which delimiter style each app or site wants, so ChatGPT gets \( \), Obsidian gets $ $, and your terminal gets raw LaTeX.
Three things I care about, and they're not going to change:
• No account. Nothing to sign up for.
• No cloud, no AI calls. Your equations never leave your machine.
• Free. There is no paid tier waiting behind this.
The macOS app is downloadable today and works. What I'm doing now is finishing v1.0 — deeper system-level integration, Windows, LaTeX/Unicode Math/MathML export, and a documented compatibility list — and releasing the whole thing under Apache-2.0. That's what the Kickstarter funds:

Math input should be shared infrastructure, not a subscription gate.
I'd genuinely like to know: where does math input break for you? Which app is the worst offender? I'm reading every comment today.
