Write papers together,
not over email.
A self-hosted collaborative LaTeX editor for research teams. Real-time co-editing, isolated Docker compilation, and full data control.
Free on the hosted workspace. Self-host for full control.
Open source on GitHubMIT licensed
Stop emailing .tex files.
Write synchronously with your co-authors. See their cursors, resolve conflicts instantly, and never manage incremental file versions by hand again.
- Real-time multiplayer editing
- Live cursors on every open document
Already have a PDF? Start there.
Drop in a paper and get an editable LaTeX project — title, author block, section structure and tables reconstructed as source, not screenshotted.
The reconstructed source compiles as-is, so you can start editing from the first draft.
Ask the paper, not the chatbot.
Select text, ask questions, improve writing, and work with LaTeX — document-aware assistance without leaving the workspace.
Every change has a history.
Automatically track every edit, addition, and deletion. Revert to any previous state without manually saving incremental files.
- One-click revert to any prior state
- Full audit trail of every contribution
Compile without sharing an environment.
Run heavy compilations in isolated Docker containers. Your long-running thesis compile won't slow down your quick edits on another paper.
- Isolated — Each compile runs in its own sandbox.
- Reproducible — Dockerized environments across machines.
- Dedicated — No shared CPU bottlenecks during crunch time.
Talk about the paper, in the paper.
No more switching to Slack or email to discuss a figure placement. Resolve notation, review changes, and make decisions without leaving the editor.
- Real-time threads with live typing indicators
- Share files and images right in the conversation
- Unread counters for replies you won't miss
Bring the template you already use.
Already have a LaTeX project somewhere? Paste any public link — a GitHub or GitLab repository, a source ZIP, or a raw .tex file — and TexStylus turns it into an editable project.
Repositories, archives, and raw source files — any public link works.
Run your whole department on your own hardware.
Deploy once, then hand out accounts to a whole course or research group. Documents, history and compilation all stay on infrastructure you operate.
No per-seat fees · No vendor lock-in · Runs fully on your network
Your data stays yours
Documents, uploads and complete revision history live in infrastructure you operate — never on someone else's servers.
Compiles cannot reach out
Every build runs in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem, dropped capabilities and CPU/memory caps.
Backups you can restore
One command captures the database, objects and config with SHA-256 checksums and 7-day retention — and a matching script restores it.
Production-shaped from the first command.
The stack ships as one Docker Compose file: managed migrations, TLS, health checks, backups and per-user quotas are already wired in.

Sandbox
no network
One host. A whole cohort. No per-seat fees.
Owner-to-viewer roles, per-user compile quotas and fair queuing keep a shared server responsive when a whole course builds at once.
What you'd otherwise have to build
One-command deploy
The whole stack in a single docker compose file.
Automated migrations
A dedicated step applies schema changes on deploy.
Health checks & restarts
Every service is probed and restarted on failure.
TLS & security headers
Automatic certificates; HSTS and CSP on by default.
Per-user quotas
Compile rate limits, hourly and daily quotas, fair queuing.
Role-based access
Owner, admin, editor, commenter and viewer roles.
Append-only audit log
A tamper-resistant record of security-relevant actions.
Metrics & tracing
Metrics and traces, ready to export anywhere.
S3-compatible storage — bring your own bucket, or use the one that ships with it — and bring-your-own AI providers are built in.
