  • LaTeX-first control: Work directly in canonical source or use the Visual editor on the same project.
  • Browser-local compile: Compile supported projects locally with PDF, logs and SyncTeX beside the editor.
  • Research memory: Use Paper Memory and AI Review with the manuscript and evidence library.
