Your research deserves
better tools.
A modern LaTeX editor with a built-in AI research agent that finds, cites, and compiles — so you can focus on the work that matters.
Speed changes everything.
When your compiler takes 45 seconds, you stop experimenting. When it takes 3, you iterate freely. Textra bundles an optimized TeX Live distribution that compiles locally — a 50-page thesis in under 4 seconds.

Your bibliography should build itself.
The Research Agent searches 225M+ papers, finds the most relevant citations, formats them, and inserts them into your bibliography — all through conversation. Stop copy-pasting BibTeX entries.
Write with precision.
Citation autocomplete pulls from your .bib files as you type. SyncTeX keeps source and PDF in perfect sync. Hover any math expression to see it rendered instantly. LSP intelligence handles the rest.
Open the app. Start writing.
No configuring PATH variables. No hunting for missing packages. Textra bundles everything and installs what you need automatically. Download, open, write.
Your research stays yours.
Everything runs locally on your machine. Compile on a plane, write in a cafe, work anywhere without an internet connection. Your files never leave your computer. No cloud dependency, no upload latency, no privacy concerns.
