Turbotex

A LaTeX editor with nothing left to install.

Turbotex ships its own TeX engine, language server, and Python kernel. Open a project, compile, and read the PDF beside the source. An agent drafts edits and plots figures when you ask.

main.tex Compiled

Everything a paper needs, already in the window.

  • The compiler is built in

    Tectonic ships inside the app and fetches packages on first use. A fresh install compiles a real paper without TeX Live. Prefer pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex? Point Turbotex at yours.

  • A preview that keeps its place

    The PDF sits beside the source and stays on the same page across recompiles. SyncTeX links a line of source to its spot on the page and back.

  • A real language server

    Texlab runs alongside the editor: completions for commands, labels, and citations, with diagnostics as you type. Errors from the compile log land on the line that caused them.

  • An agent that stages its edits

    Ask for a rewrite, a new section, or a fix for the error in the log. Edits arrive as a diff you review before anything touches the file. It runs on your own ChatGPT account.

  • Figures from Python

    Figure Maker runs matplotlib in a bundled Python kernel and writes the figure into the project. Keep the script when you want to regenerate it later.

Get Turbotex

The desktop app needs no account or separate TeX installation. AI uses your ChatGPT sign-in from Codex CLI. Internet access is needed to fetch TeX and Python packages on first use.

  • Download for macOS (Apple silicon)

    macOS 12 or later. Apple silicon only; Intel Macs are not supported.

    Open the DMG, drag Turbotex to Applications, then open it from Applications.

  • Download for Windows (x64)

    Windows 10 or later, 64-bit Intel or AMD.

    Run the installer, then open Turbotex from the Start menu.

  • Download for Linux (x64)

    64-bit Intel or AMD Linux with FUSE 2 support.

    Allow the AppImage to run as a program in its file properties, then open it. If FUSE is missing, install your distribution’s FUSE 2 compatibility package.
