Instead of VerbTeX
VerbTeX alternatives
VerbTeX brings LaTeX editing to Android, iOS, Mac, web, and Windows, with both device-based and cloud workflows. Local Mode stores .tex documents on the device and supports offline editing and compilation without an account. Cloud Mode synchronizes projects and provides a web interface. It generates PDFs with PdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, or LuaLaTeX, supports BibTeX and Biber, and integrates with services including Git, Dropbox, Zotero, and Mendeley. The free plan limits projects, documents, and uploads; paid options add code completion and unlimited projects and documents.

Those limits may prompt a switch, as may a preference for desktop writing or a broader document workspace. Compare platform coverage, offline needs, collaboration, supported formats, and how much project capacity you need. Some alternatives add Typst or Markdown, while others emphasize real-time browser collaboration, structured documents, or research and proofreading tools. VerbTeX's mobile apps, local compilation, and cloud synchronization may still suit writers who want those workflows; a desktop-only or browser-focused product may be a better fit when its particular editing tools matter more.
