JointTex for macOS, Windows and Linux
Your projects, co-authors and history, as on the web — compiled with the TeX on your own computer, and editable offline.

What the desktop app adds
Compile with your own TeX
Use TeX Live, MacTeX or MiKTeX on your computer, with your own packages and fonts — or keep compiling on JointTex servers.
Keep writing offline
Projects you have opened stay editable without a connection. Your changes sync when you are back online.
Still collaborative
The same projects, comments, history and co-authors you see on the web.
Opening it the first time
- macOS: if it says JointTex cannot be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security (on macOS 12: System Preferences → Security & Privacy) and choose “Open Anyway”.
- Windows: if SmartScreen says it protected your PC, choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
- Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x JointTex-*.AppImage) and open it, or install the .deb with sudo apt install ./JointTex-*.deb, or the .rpm with sudo dnf install ./JointTex-*.rpm.
