A fresh breeze for collaborative LaTeX editing.
Write papers together and collaborate using the tools you already use.
Try the sample editor. Projects and accounts are private while development continues.
View source on GitHub →Built around existing workflows
Citet is designed to fit naturally into research and technical writing workflows.
- →Collaborative online editing
- →Integrations for VSCode and Neovim
- →Citation workflows that fit Nocite and Zotero
- →Project backups to external storage providers
The goal is to improve collaborative writing without forcing researchers into entirely new tools.
Use your own editor if you want
Some people prefer writing directly in the browser.
Others work primarily in Neovim, VSCode, or local LaTeX setups. Citet is being built to support both approaches.
Open and self-hostable
Citet is open source and is being built for universities, research groups, and individual teams to self-host.
A simpler collaborative workflow
LaTeX collaboration often becomes fragmented across:
- Local editors
- Cloud drives
- Email attachments
- Git repositories
- Exported PDFs
Citet aims to make collaborative writing more direct while staying close to existing workflows.
Built by people who use LaTeX
Citet is developed by programmers and researchers who actively work with LaTeX themselves.
