Instead of Gummi

Gummi alternatives

Gummi keeps LaTeX editing focused on a straightforward desktop workflow. Its near-immediate preview, separate LaTeX syntax highlighting, customizable editor styles, snippets, and document wizards help with everyday writing. Projects group related files and retain compilation settings, while templates and PDF export support a practical finish. It runs on Linux, BSD, macOS/NetBSD, and Windows, and its free plan has no stated usage limits. Spell checking is available, although enabling it requires choosing a language and installing gtkspell.

An alternative may fit better if you need browser or mobile access, live collaboration, Typst or Markdown support, richer reference handling, version history, or broader document conversion. Gummi is a desktop editor, so the choice also depends on whether projects should remain ordinary local files or synchronize online. Consider your preferred LaTeX engine, navigation between source and PDF, template needs, integrations, privacy requirements, and whether AI assistance belongs in the workflow. The products below offer different combinations of those capabilities while keeping LaTeX central or placing it inside a broader writing environment.
