What is Oleafly?
Oleafly is a free, open-source desktop app for writing research documents in LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, works without an account, and keeps plain project files on your own computer.
The editor and the compiled PDF sit side by side, with click-to-jump SyncTeX navigation between them. The LaTeX and Typst engines are bundled and Markdown compiles through Pandoc, so most work happens offline. Every project has a real Git history with diffs and restore, and can sync to GitHub.
An optional AI assistant can see the whole project. It finds and fixes compile errors, inserts citations, and proposes edits as diffs you approve or reject. It works with local models through Ollama as well as hosted providers, and speaks MCP.
