Archimedes is a Markdown editor designed to make mathematical writing easy with inline LaTeX support.
MARKDOWN EDITING
At its core, Archimedes is a fully-featured plain text and Markdown editor. It includes a fast syntax highlighter and provides convenient keyboard shortcuts for common actions, such as inserting images and links. With complete support for Markdown and the Format Bar floating above the keyboard, Archimedes makes formatting and structuring documents elegant and easy.
MATH MODE + AUTOCOMPLETE
In Math Mode, Archimedes lets you write mathematics in a subset of LaTeX, making it an approachable LaTeX editor. Just enter $$ to get started. Over 700 intuitive commands, such as \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}, help you produce stunning mathematical output. Archimedes even autocompletes commands and intelligently matches closing braces, brackets, and parenthesis as you type.
MAGIC TYPE
Just getting started with LaTeX syntax? Don't know the code for the asymptotically equal symbol? Just draw it! Archimedes will recognize the symbol and insert the corresponding code for you.
LIVE PREVIEW
As you work, a beautifully-typeset live preview of your document is always visible. You can even select a custom theme, and Dark Mode is fully supported. Themes come with various font faces.
MATH LIBRARY
Browse the math library to see all available LaTeX commands and their previews in one place.
NAVIGATOR
Working on a long document? Use the Navigator to pull up a table of contents and quickly jump between sections.
IMAGES
Insert images from your Photos library, via the Document Camera, or by drawing sketches right inside the document.

Perfect scientific editor for the iPad
I use it anywhere my iPad and mini keyboard fit, and I find it really practical and useful, especially for extensive notes on different subjects that involve lots of equations and figures. A great compromise, very worth the “one time payment”.
I would just like to see some improvements to make it perfect:
Footnotes with maths do not show up properly in the live preview.
Same for captions of figures
There’s a bug in the html export for figures that are in the assets directory yet the index.html does not refer to the assets directory and thus the figures are not found
Comments in the body of the text (prefixed with %%) do not show up in the live preview, but appear in the pdf output, and it should not or perhaps should appear optionally (for a draft for example)
The footnotes should appear on the same page as the one on which they are referenced, or possibly do that as an option, maybe in the way the footnote itself is defined.
The latex rendering looks a bit weird, is that due to the choice of fonts? Maybe add more font options.
In Acrobat, some sections appear as a thumbnail which I find very cool, others, although of the same depth, do not
In Acrobat, some equations display wrong
The hyperlinks do not work in pdf, neither for the references nor for the footnotes
Could we have paragraphs that are both left and right justified, using hyphens maybe like in LaTeX when exporting to pdf?
Could we choose the paper format to which we export so as to adjust the alignment on the left and right?
Could we toggle the live preview visibility?
Please add a shortcut to put selection in between double dollar signs, i.e. transform into equation.
Tried several apps, this one works best for me
Great app, absolutely worth the money. The live preview works offline as well. Also has fast app-support.
