One platform, the whole workflow

More time to write. Less time managing tools.

Liteleaf brings together the essentials of LaTeX production without turning your infrastructure into a puzzle.

Editor and PDF side by side

Browse files, edit precisely, and follow the compiled document without losing context.

Real-time collaboration

Presence, remote cursors, reconnection, and durable operations keep the team in sync.

Integrated compilation

TeX Live, line diagnostics, BibTeX, Biber, and SyncTeX in a separate compiler.

Ollama assistance

Review only selected text, compare the suggestion, and decide when to apply it.

Interactive spelling correction

Check English and Brazilian Portuguese, choose a suggestion, or keep terms in a project dictionary.

Institutional administration

Users, permissions, TOTP, OIDC, auditing, quotas, and instance health in a dedicated console.

Sources stay portable

Export projects as ZIP and expose a private Git origin for Forgejo or Gitea mirrors.

Optional Ollama

A second reading without giving up control

Connect Liteleaf to an Ollama endpoint managed by your institution. The assistant receives only the explicit selection and never applies a change on its own.

  • Deterministic protection of LaTeX commands
  • Suggestions shown before any change
  • Model and endpoint defined by the administrator
