Our verdict on TeXlyre

TeXlyre is a browser-based editor for LaTeX and Typst documents, suited to solo authors and teams who want local control alongside collaboration. Projects are stored in the browser and can be edited offline after loading. Collaborators work together through peer-to-peer connections, with live cursors and conflict handling. The editor compiles both formats in-browser using WebAssembly and provides PDF preview and download, so drafting and reviewing can happen in the browser without installing TeXlyre itself.

Its local-first approach is central to the workflow: project sharing uses collaboration links, while ZIP import and export provide a way to move projects. Local-folder backup and synchronization are also available. Dropbox, Google Drive, and Chelys are listed integrations. TeXlyre can be run locally or self-hosted, giving technically comfortable teams options beyond the browser-based service. The editor supports LaTeX and Typst, but it is not a visual editor; syntax highlighting and compilation error explanations support source-based work instead.

TeXlyre is open source and has a free plan. Its published product information does not describe paid tiers, so the case for choosing it rests on its editing model and deployment options rather than a tier comparison. Community and documentation are the listed support channels. Chelys adds locally installed tools and services, but it is a separate companion available for Windows, macOS, and Linux—not a desktop edition of TeXlyre. Choose TeXlyre if browser collaboration, offline editing, and self-hosting matter; consider another editor if you need a visual editing interface or a desktop TeXlyre application.
