What is Lattice?
A Mac app for writing papers in LaTeX. The source and its live PDF sit side by side, with the papers you cite, your co-authors on Overleaf and an AI agent in the same window. Your project stays an ordinary folder on your Mac, so it opens in any other editor and fits under Git.
Does it include a model, or do I need a separate AI subscription?
Lattice includes no model and has no account or subscription of its own. It drives the coding agent you already use, signed in with your own account: Claude Code or Codex, or another agent CLI it finds on your Mac, such as Cursor, OpenCode or Droid. That agent’s own plan or API key is what you pay for, if anything. Writing, live preview, citations and Overleaf sync need no AI at all.
What do I need to install?
An Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later, and a TeX distribution: your own MacTeX or TeX Live, or BasicTeX, which Lattice can install for you. For the agent, install and sign in to Claude Code or Codex (or another supported agent CLI). Lattice is not available for Intel Macs, Windows or Linux.
Does Lattice upload my files to the cloud?
No. Your project is a folder on your Mac, and Lattice has no server that stores it. Files leave your Mac only through a feature you use: Overleaf sync sends the project to your Overleaf account; the agent sends what it reads to its own provider, under your sign-in; adding a paper looks it up on arXiv, Crossref or OpenAlex. Lattice also checks GitHub for updates. The bundled agent runtime has its telemetry turned off.
My co-authors are on Overleaf. Can I work with them?
Yes. Connect the project to Overleaf with your own Overleaf account, and Lattice syncs both ways as you type: your co-authors keep working on overleaf.com and see your edits arrive, and theirs arrive in Lattice, with presence, comments, chat and tracked changes. Nobody else needs Lattice.
Is Lattice free?
Yes. Lattice is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the download costs nothing. One part has its own terms: the Trellis panel layout is free for non-commercial use, so using Lattice at a company or other for-profit organisation needs a Trellis licence from its author.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Writing, live preview, builds, history and the papers already in your project work without a connection, because everything lives in the project folder and builds run on your own TeX. Overleaf sync, the agent and adding new papers need the network.
