Texifier
What Texifier is
Texifier is an editor and productivity tool for academic and professional writing centered on LaTeX. Its TexpadTeX typesetter renders PDF output while you type, and the editor offers LaTeX and BibTeX highlighting, autocomplete, spell-checking, block comments, and indentation tools. A PDF viewer links source text, the document outline, and PDF navigation. Multi-file projects can include sub-files, bibliographies, and stylesheets, with global search and TODO navigation for moving through them. Markdown documents also receive PDF output and an outline. The apps are listed for macOS, iOS, and Windows, with offline editing. On iOS, users can typeset offline, view PDFs, access Files app content, share projects and source, and use documented iCloud and Dropbox access. Free cloud servers can typeset documents needing unsupported local packages. Computer launches begin a two-week trial; iOS has no trial. One-time pricing runs from 39.99 USD for one seat to $29.99 per seat for 101–1000 seats.
