Research has enough moving parts already
A technical document usually ends up spread across an editor, a compiler, a PDF viewer, a bibliography tool, Git, and an AI chat that cannot see the actual project. Oleafly brings that work into one desktop app while leaving the source readable in other editors and command-line tools.
The same project view works for a course report, a journal paper, or a hundred-page thesis:
| Your work | What Oleafly handles |
|---|---|
| Write | Source and visual editing, autocomplete, symbols, citations, figures, tables, and whole-project code intelligence |
| Compile | Bundled LaTeX and Typst engines, Markdown through Pandoc, parsed errors, logs, and offline cached builds |
| Inspect | A fast PDF preview, page and zoom controls, two-page layouts, color inversion, and bidirectional SyncTeX |
| Revise | Autosave, real Git history, diffs, restore, and GitHub sync |
| Submit | Compile, publication, accessibility, reference, privacy, and ATS checks, plus reader-view extraction and several export formats |
| Get help | An optional project-aware AI assistant, local Ollama models, hosted providers, and MCP clients |
If you like Overleaf's write-and-preview loop but want compilation, files, Git, and model choice on your own machine, Oleafly is made for that workflow. It can also replace much of the setup around a local editor, TeX toolchain, PDF viewer, and Git client.
Oleafly does not offer live multi-user browser editing today. Git and GitHub are the current collaboration path.
What you can do
Write with the source in reach
- Work with LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown projects, including large multi-file documents, images, includes, and bibliographies.
- Switch LaTeX and Markdown between Code and Visual views. Unsupported rich blocks stay visible as editable source instead of disappearing.
- Insert headings, lists, links, citations, cross-references, equations, fractions, figures, tables, and symbols from the editor toolbar.
- Use command, citation, label, file, slash-command, and inline ghost-text completion.
- Find and replace, fold sections and environments, turn on Vim bindings, and run offline spelling and grammar checks.
- Jump to definitions, find references, rename labels or citation keys across the project, and inspect definitions on hover.
The project map indexes every section, label, citation key, and environment in
the project and keeps them addressable by file:line, so navigation and
renames work across a multi-file document rather than one buffer at a time.
The citation picker reads the project's .bib files directly, so keys come
with their author, year, title, and the line they were defined on.
A LaTeX-aware word count ignores markup and counts only what a reader sees.
Compile and read without leaving the project
- Compile LaTeX with bundled Tectonic by default. Each project can instead use
latexmkwith pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, or LuaLaTeX when a traditional TeX toolchain is required. - Use a detected MacTeX, TeX Live, MiKTeX, or TinyTeX installation. If none is available, Oleafly can install a managed TinyTeX copy without administrator access. Use system TeX only with projects you trust because it is not fully sandboxed.
- Compile Typst with its bundled engine. A full TeX installation is not needed for the default Tectonic workflow.
- See compiler failures as editor diagnostics and readable error cards rather than hunting through a raw log.
- Read the PDF beside the source with continuous scrolling, virtualized pages, single or two-page layouts, fit controls, page navigation, fullscreen, and an optional detached preview window.
- Use SyncTeX in both directions: jump from source to PDF, or Cmd/Ctrl-click PDF text to return to the matching source.
- Save the PDF into the project or export the source as a portable archive.
Zoom out and the whole document is on screen at once, which is usually the fastest way to check that floats, figures, and tables landed where you meant.
Keep a history you can inspect
Every project is a real Git repository. Oleafly commits after successful compiles and after quiet editing periods, then exposes the useful parts of that history in the app.
- Review a commit timeline and side-by-side diffs.
- Restore an earlier file without replacing the rest of the project.
- Stage, discard, commit, push, and pull from the Source Control panel.
- Publish a project to GitHub or connect an existing repository.
- Keep working from the terminal or another editor. There is no private document format to unpack.
