About Typesetter

Typesetter is a minimalist editor for creating beautiful documents with the Typst markup language.

Adaptive, user-friendly interface: Focus on writing. Great for papers, reports, slides, books, and any structured writing.

Powered by Typst: A modern markup-based typesetting language, combining the simplicity of Markdown with the power of LaTeX.

Fully local: Your files stay on your machine. No cloud lock-in.

Secure by default: Keeps Typst projects isolated from unrelated files.

Package management: Install, remove, and automatically fetch Typst packages from within the app.

Bibliography management: Create and manage references through a built-in graphical interface.

Templates: Create new documents from built‑in or user templates.

Automatic preview: See your rendered document update as you write.

Click-to-jump: Click on a part of the preview to jump to the corresponding position in the source file.

Magnifier tool: Click and hold on the preview to inspect fine details.

Accessibility checking: Simulate different forms of color blindness to check how your document looks to all readers.

Centered scrolling: Keeps your writing visually anchored as you type.

Syntax highlighting: Makes your documents easier to edit and read.

Grammar suggestions: Automatically checks your writing for grammatical errors (currently English only).

Document statistics: Easily calculate page, word, and character counts.
