Alternatives toTexLite

Best alternatives to TexLite in 2026

Overleaf made collaborative LaTeX writing mainstream, but it's a hosted service — your documents live on someone else's servers, and the free tier has real limits. TexLite is a self-hosted alternative aimed at small, trusted teams: a browser-based LaTeX editor with real-time collaborative editing (built on Yjs), syntax highlighting and autocompletion for LaTeX and BibTeX via CodeMirror, and even Vim mode for people who want their keybindings everywhere. It compiles documents through latexmk with a choice of engines, supports project organization with folders and tags, ZIP import/export, inline comments anchored to specific text, a citation library, SyncTeX navigation between source and rendered PDF, and per-project history with optional Git/GitHub backup. It's installable as an npm package and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
