How Texpile works, feature by feature. Everything described here runs on your own machine, against the .tex files already in your folder.
Getting started Open a folder, pick a main file, and understand what a save actually writes. Live preview Pages typeset as you type, by your own TeX, with no manual compile step. Visual editing Your .tex rendered as formatted text, math, figures, and tables, and saved back unchanged. Source editing A full LaTeX code editor, with Vim and Emacs keymaps and multiple cursors. Spell check Catches typos and grammar in your prose, and never flags your LaTeX. Intellisense Completion, go-to-definition, and hover, built from a static parse of the whole project. Compiling Your own command, in a real shell, with the log read into a Problems panel. Projects and files The folder is the project: explorer, tabs, multi-file documents, search, and references. Version control Stage, commit, and diff against the last commit without leaving the editor. Real-time collaboration Edit a folder with other people in real time, end to end encrypted, with no account. AI assistants (MCP) Let Claude Code or Codex read your editor state and drive the app, locally.
Texpile is free and open source, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
