About TeXworks

TeXworks is an environment for authoring TeX (LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc) documents, with a

Unicode-based, TeX-aware editor, integrated PDF viewer, and a clean, simple

interface accessible to casual and non-technical users.

TeXworks is inspired by Dick Koch's award-winning TeXShop program for Mac OS X,

which has made quality typesetting through TeX accessible to a wider community

of users, without a technical or intimidating face. The goal of TeXworks is to

deliver a similarly integrated, easy-to-use environment for users on other

platforms, especially GNU/Linux and Windows.

Among other things, TeXworks features an integrated PDF previewer, synchronization

between the TeX files and the PDF output, and an extensible scripting interface.

To use the TeX distribution provided by flathub, install it via

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive//25.08
