In their own words

Oleafly

Oleafly is a free desktop workspace for writing technical documents such as papers, theses, and resumes. It brings writing, PDF preview, references, and an optional AI assistant together, and supports LaTeX, Typst, and Markdown projects. Research search covers alphaXiv and OpenAlex, citations can be checked against Crossref, and reference libraries can be imported from BibTeX, RIS, EndNote XML, and Zotero RDF. Local spelling and grammar checks use Hunspell and Harper, with a focus on prose rather than LaTeX commands and mathematics. Writing, local compilation, PDF review, and proofreading work offline without AI, once packages, fonts, and tools are downloaded. Projects can be imported from folders or ZIPs and exported as PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, or source ZIP files. GitHub push and pull and Git-based collaboration are supported, but real-time co-editing, comments, and managed sync are not available. Oleafly is open source under AGPL-3.0 for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The desktop app has no subscription; paid AI providers may charge for usage.
