In their own words
Texifier
Texifier is a desktop editor and productivity tool for academic and professional writing centered on LaTeX. Its TexpadTeX typesetter renders PDF output from LaTeX source while you type. The editor offers LaTeX and BibTeX syntax highlighting, autocomplete, spell-checking, block-comment tools, and indentation controls. A PDF viewer links the source, document outline, and PDF navigation. Texifier loads multi-file projects containing sub-files, bibliographies, and stylesheets, with global search and TODO navigation. Markdown documents can also produce PDFs with an outline. On iOS, the app supports offline typesetting, PDF viewing, Files app access, and sharing projects, source, and PDFs; documentation describes iCloud and Dropbox access. Cloud servers can typeset documents needing unsupported packages. macOS, iOS, and Windows are listed, with offline editing. Computer launches start a two-week trial, while the iOS app has no trial. Licenses are one-time purchases from $39.99 for one seat down to $29.99 per seat for 101–1000 seats.
