LateXTree Keeps a LaTeX Research Project in One Mac Window

Field notes

The workspace models a research manuscript as a complete local project rather than a single text file: source, figures, bibliography, and project-specific classes remain together in a normal Mac folder. Its workflow uses Tectonic for local compilation and PDFKit for the preview, with Git actions exposed in the toolbar. The page also shows side-by-side PDF comparison, inline source changes, BibTeX search, and optional iCloud Drive storage. A TestFlight-access request suggests that at least part of distribution may still be controlled.
