In their own words
Verbosus
Verbosus offers VerbTeX for creating and managing LaTeX projects on iPhone, iPad, Android, and the web. Choose local mode to keep.tex documents on a device or cloud mode to synchronize projects with Verbosus; cloud mode also has a web interface. Local mode supports offline editing and can compile offline when that option is enabled in Settings. PDF generation supports PdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX, while bibliographies can be managed with BibTeX or Biber. The editor includes syntax highlighting, line numbers, autosave, custom keyboard shortcuts, and inverse search from a PDF to its.tex file. Local integrations include Dropbox, Box, Git, iCloud, Zotero, and Mendeley. The app lists an AI assistant for ChatGPT and Claude. The free plan costs nothing and allows two projects in each mode, two documents per project, and two uploads per local project. Two-factor authentication is listed for cloud mode in combination with Copiosus.
