LaTeX Writer — a fast, collaborative LaTeX editor. Real-time compilation, templates, and PDF export. Start writing LaTeX instantly.

Hi everyone, We built LaTeXWriter because most existing LaTeX editors felt either outdated, too slow, or lacked proper collaboration features. Tools like Overleaf rely on server-side compilation, which often leads to compilation queues, limits, and slowdowns. On the other hand, offline editors are faster but don’t allow real-time online collaboration with others. With LaTeXWriter, we wanted to solve this once and for all by combining the best of both worlds. Compilation happens on your own device, so there are no server queues or limits. At the same time, online file storage allows real-time collaboration with your team. LaTeXWriter also has a version control system, so you never lose progress, and AI assistance is built in to make your workflow smoother. Once installed, you can start editing immediately without worrying about large package downloads or setup. What we’re most proud of is creating a modern, reliable, and collaboration-friendly LaTeX experience that feels natural whether you’re working alone or with a team. We’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you currently use Overleaf, offline editors, or a mix of both? What’s the biggest pain point you face while writing with LaTeX? Excited to get your feedback and suggestions. — Team LaTeXWriter

The Fast compile alone makes me curious. Waiting on LaTeX output during deadlines was always painful.
This looks like the kind of editor I’d actually recommend to students new to LaTeX powerful but not intimidating.
Love it! I see more tools like these more often and I assume it is becoming a trending product (in general). Wish you a good luck! :)
This looks really useful for group projects. Sharing LaTeX files has always been messy for me. A fast, online editor that compiles instantly could simplify everything. The PDF export option adds the perfect finishing touch.
Writing in it often slows me down with setup, so a tool that works instantly without heavy installs feels refreshing. Collaboration and templates make it even better. I'd love to test this with teammates.
Just tested LaTeXWriter during my thesis crunch time. This is really great for researchers writing papers!
