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, PDF, and real-time collaboration

Write beside the compiled PDF while presence, remote cursors, and durable operations keep the team in context.

Integrated LaTeX compilation

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

Writing assistance

Combine local Aspell correction in English, Portuguese, and Spanish with optional, reviewable suggestions from Ollama.

Institutional administration

Manage users, permissions, identity, auditing, quotas, and instance health from a dedicated console.

Portable, synchronized sources

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

Files checked with ClamAV

File scanning adds another layer of security and protection for the Liteleaf writing environment.

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
