What TeXlyre is

TeXlyre is a free LaTeX editor that can be used in modern web browsers, run locally, or self-hosted. It supports real-time collaboration, allowing people to edit a document together, and offline editing when a continuous connection is unavailable. Git integration is included for version-controlled work. The editor itself is web-based, while the separate Chelys companion is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. TeXlyre lists Linux, macOS, Windows, and web among its platforms. It does not include a visual editor, so it is intended for users working with a LaTeX editing workflow rather than visual page layout. The listed pricing model is free, with no subscription cost stated.

Who it suits
