TeXShop

TeXShop provides an integrated environment for creating and previewing LaTeX and TeX documents on macOS. The application combines a source editor with a PDF preview pane, allowing users to compile documents and view the results in a single window. It supports the full TeX Live distribution, automatically invoking the appropriate engine and displaying errors or warnings directly in the editor.

The software is targeted at authors, researchers, and students who write technical documents, papers, or books using LaTeX on Mac computers. It is designed for macOS 10.13 or later, with separate binaries for Intel and Apple‑silicon processors, and it has been maintained since its initial release in 2000. The program is released under the GPLv2 license, making it free to use and modify.

What distinguishes TeXShop is its tight integration with the macOS interface and the TeX Live 2025 distribution, offering a universal binary that works across recent macOS versions. The project includes multiple language translations and a history of contributions from a community of developers, ensuring ongoing compatibility with newer macOS releases and TeX engines.
