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.

Perfect but sometime it crashes

Very intuitive and user-friendly. However, sometime it crashes for no reason. Nothing too disruptive, but it is annoying.

Good when it works but...

When this product works it is really great.

Unfortunately after the last update there are lots of seemingly unrelated problems when compiling the latex document. Examples of the problems are: sporadic citations and references (sometimes they show, sometimes not - cannot understand how to get them back even with full typeset and restart); a new one of a blank pdf in the pdf viewer (despite restarts and no errors being detected); the program being unable to open the .bib file (I have to do this in a separate editor).

Hopefully a later update will sort this out a few of these issues but for now I'll have to go back to the command line as it's too frustrating to work with.

UPDATED: Back to being the best LaTeX editor on the Mac App Store

I was unhappy a number of years ago, because the developers appeared to have abandoned their Mac App Store version.

It appears that in the intervening years they have resolved their issues with the App Store, and it is now up and running and working fine, even on the latest version on macOS Monterey.

So, fair play to them.

There is the issue of sandboxing, which means that this version does not support external (local) typesetters but that is absolutely no fault of the developers. It would be possible to download and run an external typesetter if desired.

As an occasional math student, I find that the App Store version is more than capable when it comes to producing beautifully typeset maths papers, as required by my faculty.

So I'm back to (happily) giving it five stars.

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.
