What is LetX?

LetX is a modern, real-time collaborative LaTeX editor built for research teams, academics, and students. Multiple authors edit the same document simultaneously with zero merge conflicts, powered by Yjs CRDT synchronization with live cursor presence.

Key features: • 80+ ready-to-use templates — IEEE, ACM, Springer, Nature, university theses, CVs/resumes, and Beamer presentations • Instant PDF compilation with pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex engines (1–2 second compiles) • Bidirectional SyncTeX — click code to jump to the PDF, or click the PDF to jump to the code • Multi-file project workspaces with drag-and-drop file tree, image uploads, and BibTeX support • Full ZIP import/export for easy migration from Overleaf or other editors • Role-based access control (Owner, Editor, Viewer) + invite by email or shareable magic links • Modern CodeMirror 6 editor with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and split-pane preview • Privacy-first: your documents are never used to train AI models

Runs in any browser on Mac, Windows, and Linux — no installation required.
