Math

Tab finds any symbol by name.

## LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown

One file, two ways to write it.

## Live preview

Texpile runs its own script inside the lualatex you already have installed, so most changes render in under 20 ms.

## Write together in real time

Share a project with up to 8 other people and edit it together in real time. No account needed, and end to end encrypted.

## AI integration

Uses Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot or OpenCode, whichever is already on your computer, with your own subscription rather than an API key.

## Version history

Texpile tracks changes and deleted files separately from git, in case you make a mistake.

## Works with the tools around your paper

### Cite by title or DOI

Crossref, arXiv, ISBN and PubMed. Zotero works too, with Better BibTeX.

## More features that didn't get their own section

### Built-in terminal

A real shell for latexmk or any compile command.

### Version history

Stage, commit, and diff side-by-side against the last commit.

### Multi-file projects

Fragments parse with the main file's macros.

### Command palette

Ctrl+K opens a file, compiles, or runs any editor action.

### Vim and Emacs

Modal keybindings for the source editor, chosen in Preferences.

### Multiple cursors

Add cursors down a column, or select the next occurrence.

### Spell check

Checks your prose, skips commands, math, and comments.

### MCP

Connect Claude and other AI assistants to the editor.

### Tabs and session restore

Reopen a folder and your tabs and cursor come back.

## PS

Texpile is pronounced with the tex from text (tex-pile). The name is a blend of compiling LaTeX and transpiling it. We write it Texpile, not TeXpile.
