A privacy-focused Typst editor for your most ambitious writing.

Texpile is an open source desktop Typst editor. It brings the live preview of the Typst web app to your own computer, and adds a visual editor on top.

Two ways to write a document

Texpile stores nothing but .typ. Write in source or write visually, in the same file, and it is saved back with only your edits changed.

A Typst document in the visual editor: headings with their labels, formatted text, and lists

Visual editing

  • Type @ to reference a figure, table, or citation.
  • Equations edit as math, not as markup.
  • Tables edit in place, with draggable column widths.
  • Drag or paste images in, then resize with handles.

Source editing

  • Completion and hover, provided by tinymist.
  • Diagnostics appear as you type, with no compile step.
  • F2 renames a symbol across the whole project.
  • Click the preview to jump to the source line.
