TeX Live Utility

TeX Live Utility provides a native macOS graphical front end for the TeX Live Manager command‑line tool. It presents the most frequently used functions—such as installing, updating, and managing TeX Live packages—in a windowed interface that follows macOS conventions, while still relying on the underlying tlmgr system for actual package operations.

The application is intended for macOS users who maintain TeX Live installations and prefer a point‑and‑click workflow over terminal commands. It targets those who need a straightforward way to keep their TeX distribution current without learning the full tlmgr syntax, while still offering access to the core management features.

Developed in Xcode and built for macOS 10.8 and later, the software is distributed under a BSD license. Source code and build instructions are available on the project’s repository, allowing users to compile the utility from the provided Xcode project.
