TeXaware

TeXaware is a cross-platform, open-source TeX editor and document preparation environment designed to streamline the creation of LaTeX-based documents. It combines an editor, a live PDF preview, and build automation into a single application, with optional integration of citation managers and spell checking.

Key features include syntax highlighting and autocompletion of LaTeX commands, templates for common document classes, project management for multi-file documents, an integrated PDF viewer with forward and inverse search, and a configurable build system that can invoke latexmk, pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex and run bibliography tools such as bibtex or biber.

The project is written with a mix of languages; core components are implemented in C++, with performance-critical parts in Rust. It is released under the MIT License and maintained on its GitHub repository. TeXaware supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, with binary installers and package repositories where available.

Development and reception: The project is maintained by a community of volunteers and contributors, aiming to be compatible with common TeX workflows and TeX Live distributions. Users have praised its consolidated workflow and approachable interface, while some note that initial setup may require configuring the LaTeX distribution paths and related tools.
