Description

Edit and typeset LaTeX, Plain TeX and Markdown on your Mac using Texifier, formerly known as Texpad.

Texifier is a LaTeX editor designed for straightforward navigation, editing and typesetting of projects of any size. Open a LaTeX root file, and Texifier will scan it, open any referenced files, extract the document structure for display in the outline view, and configure the typesetter according to the packages and tools used by your document.

Texifier's editor has syntax highlighting, a choice of themes, autocomplete of commands including those defined in your document, autofill for \cite and \ref commands, and many other features. The powerful sidebar’s document structure view allows you to navigate through large multifile projects with ease. Additionally, Texifier's outline lists all labels, figures, tables, todos and the search pane can search and replace across your entire project using either normal text searches, or regular expression searches.

TexpadTeX - Texifier's internal, no internet connection required, typesetter comes with PGF drivers, Native Fonts extensions, Unicode and more. These allow it to support almost any LaTeX package available. TexpadTeX also integrates a BibteX tool and a Makeindex compatible indexer for documents that require those tools. The integrated bundle manager takes care of downloading, installing and updating LaTeX packages for you, giving you access to almost the entire LaTeX ecosystem without using any more space on your device than needed.

TexpadTeX can run in Live mode, updating the output as you type, so you never need wait for a typeset to finish again.

For the rare cases of documents that are not compatible with TexpadTeX, you can use our free cloud typesetters. These are fully integrated into Texifier so press typeset, and Texifier will run the typeset in the Cloud, presenting the results just as if it had been typeset on your device.

After typeset, any errors in your document are organised in a table of issues. Tap on an issue to jump directly to the offending line of LaTeX source, or the line in the raw log if you wish to read the original output.

Texifier supports Markdown on an equal footing with LaTeX. Edit your document in Texifier's syntax highlighting editor, browse the document by outline, then when you press Typeset, the document will be transparently converted and typeset by LaTeX, combining the informal ease of Markdown with LaTeX's ability to create beautiful and high quality PDFs. Likewise Plain TeX users can edit and typeset their documents in Texifier.

Features:

- Support for LaTeX, Plain Tex and Markdown
- Navigate easily through even the largest projects using the Outline view
- Search all files by string or regex with the global search view
- Search by section title, label, filename, citation and more with the tag search
- Browse the typeset errors and warnings either as a raw log, or with the errors and warnings table view.
- Texifier's editor autocompletes commands, and autofills commands such as \ref{...} or \cite{...}
- Instant Live typeset using Texifier's built in TexpadTeX typesetter
- Free typesetting through our secure cloud servers gives you access to all packages in the latest TeXLive distribution without the need to install or maintain it yourself.

A well designed editor

Texpad does a good job of making LaTeX editing easier. It is especially good with multi-file documents, automatically creating a list of sections from a multi-part document and allowing easy navigation. There are dark themes (a must as far as I’m concerned, although some more customisation options for themes would be good). Its log browser is also good.
It supports SyncTex which is good for navigating enabled documents.
The only thing I’ve found a bit frustrating so far is that there’s no simple way to select a word and have it jump to the appropriate place in the PDF (forward-search). Backward search and jumping to sections/subsections works properly.
Overall, the best LaTeX editior I’ve found on OS X so far.

Be WARNED - Unexplained data loss - no fix from Valletta

I really enjoyed the look and feel of this application, and thought the sync was a great feature to help keep my files in sync between my iMac and my MacBook - UNTIL DISASTER.
Until my data disappeared!! Not corrupted, not last version lost due to crash - TOTALLY GONE, ERASED, VANISHED, NO TRACE!
Apparently, when using the live sync feature, your LaTeX data is no longer saved in the .tex files but in a database that is in a hidden directory, so guess what, if you back up your .tex files you’re actually not backing up your changes!! If for some reason, something happens to your database (I can only guess when the sync doesn’t work properly), then TexPad happily replaces your good database with the dodgy one and all of the text in your .tex files with NOTHING, and then any backups of your .tex files have nothing in them - as in 0KB. I don’t know if this is exactly how it happened, it’s the best explaination I could find. I do not have any explaination from Valletta, the best I have from them is that I must have manipulated the TexPad directory outside of TexPad somehow - which is hard since it was invisible and I didn’t even know where it was.

So, if you want to pay good money for this app, make sure you know your data is safe and being backed up BEFORE trying the live sync, and be ready for sudden loss of data without explaination.

Amazing but...

This is one of my favourite apps. Very polished. My ONLY beef with it is that it hasn’t been updated for 400 years and apparently can’t be updated through the app store. If you are going to buy this you are better off getting it directly from their website.

You can read the reasoning on their website, but what ever the excuses I am bummed that I can’t get updates.

Developer Response ,

For technical reasons we were unable to update here for some time. Those are solved now, so it has been updated to the latest 1.8.12, and we can and will keep it up to date in the future.
