Description

Edit and typeset LaTeX, Plain TeX and Markdown on your iPad or iPhone, no internet connection required, 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 comes with a choice of themes, syntax highlighting, autocomplete of commands, including those defined in your document, and autofill for \cite commands, \ref commands and others. The powerful sidebar can show you a summary of your document structure allowing you to navigate through large multi-file projects with ease. Additionally Texifier's outline lists all labels, figures, tables, todos and it contains a powerful search function that 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, a Unicode and more, 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. This is fully integrated into Texifier so press typeset, and Texifier will run the typeset in the Cloud, presenting the results just as if they were typeset on your device.
After all typesets, 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 original log if you wish to read the original output.
Texifier works well with Files App, allowing you to store and work on your documents wherever you wish. On top of that Texifier Connect is directly integrated into Texifier for working across devices and collaborators.
Texifier supports Markdown along 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 (using a standard template), giving you 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.

- Universal binary for iPhone and iPad, optimised for the latest generation of devices.

- 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

- Use iOS Files app to edit documents in any storage that supports file or folder access

Texifier Reviews

All very straightforward

Reviewer_was_here on

United Kingdom

I found this app while looking for an iPad version of LyX, but I actually prefer this one’s simplicity. Everything I’ve tried works, including bibtex, indexes, glossaries, and breaking documents down into smaller files to include in the main one. The preview, normally typeset on-the-fly, is a really good way of confirming I’ve done what I intended to. The document structure view is helpful and the inevitable error messages are very clearly linked to where the problem is, at least with the simple documents I’ve been working on so far.

Where is the exported pdf file on iOS?

Please tell me, quickly. Or is this not yet fixed?

Nothing like it

Original Nifty on

United Kingdom

There is no comprehensive LaTeX document creation system like Texifier on any Apple platform, let alone on iOS. And it typesets locally.

Doesn’t work with Google drive

Mr Philip S on

United Kingdom

Only works with iCloud, does not work with Google drive. Update: i don’t buy the developers response, Google drive works perfectly with Microsoft excel etc, though granted Microsoft no doubt has the resources so maybe not a fair comparison, but then this app isn’t cheap.

No pdf file is created

PGSan on

United Kingdom

Why has this changed! For my workflow this makes the app useless.

Cannot UNDO

Il pavese on

United Kingdom

No way to UNDO when typing on displaced keyboard (I use an Ipad Pro). Useless for me

Superb

After trying all the other iOS LaTeX editors I took the plunge with TexPad and I’m totally sold. The UI is elegant, every interaction is fast and stable, the documentation is superb, and the bundle management is completely intuitive. Can’t recommend this app enough.

Alive again!

Med Kay on

United Kingdom

Our beloved LaTex editor is alive again! I’m giving it four stars this time because I had to buy two other Latex editors because something was “broken”. What a shame!

Quite a lifesaver

A Trehan on

My laptop crashed a day before deadline. Luckily I had this setup and linked to my Dropbox. That was not too difficult after some investigation. After that, writing the paper went quite smoothly. Couple of bugs I have found are difficulties working with specialised style files and secondly the app hanging when I try to close the window by pressing the top left hand cross - have to manually stop the app in that case.

Flawed

physicsjeff on

United Kingdom

I’m a research scientist who uses this on my MacBook Pro, where it is excellent. Could not get my latest paper to build (problems with the figures and \pdfoutput=1 that I could work around in the end) and, worse even, I had to move the suite of files from Dropbox to a local directory (or I could copy to a single folder in Dropbox). Edit. Then push back. That makes it unusable for me. Other apps integrate better with Dropbox.
