LaTeXiT is a small utility that allows you to quickly typeset LaTeX equations, without bothering with file creation, preambles, and so on. The PDF image obtained can then be exported by drag'n drop to any application supporting it. This is very useful to insert equations in presentations made with Keynote or Powerpoint. LaTeXiT also features an application service, so that you can type and transform equations directly in most text editors (Pages, Nisus Writer Express, TextEdit...).

Main features of LaTeXiT are:
LaTeXiT is compatible with the most popular versions of Mac OS X. From Mac OS 10.4 to Mac OS 10.8, it can be deployed on almost any machine, even the "old" machines in laboratories that will still be used for years. This is not a sacrifice, the LaTeXiT code is optimized: most recent APIs are used if available, and old ones are used if not.
Main features of LaTeXiT are:
- generated PDFs can be reopened (even with copy/paste) to be modified
- LinkBack support
- syntax colouring and auto-completion of LaTeX keywords
- smart LaTeX errors manager
- LaTeX palettes
- automatic history and library management
- included application service
- Automator support
- several export formats (PDF, EPS, TIFF, PNG...)

Usually people don't prefer LaTeX to write their documents; they simply want to be able to do equations. You can just write the equation part with this program and then drag it to whatever you're really using. Fantastic. I've used it for years.

pasting symbols into OmniGraffle pictures,
for illustrations in papers and talks. Most of the
time, it works very well. Maybe there are other
facilities for this purpose, but when I started looking for
one, I have repeatedly been directed to LatexIt.

Although I may not use LaTeXiT, I appreciate your contribution, especially when you mentioned that individuals need not donate. Individual like myself is taking freeware to learn more than to use it to generate income.
I encourage those who use it for business to generate income to donate for a good cause.
Thank you.

Apple's Grapher meets most of my needs but I'd be interested in trying LaTeX. Anyone can explain me why LaTeX needs that much memory, and if there is an alternative distrib with a smaller footprint?
Cheers

i personally think mactex is the best latex package (in terms of ease of installation/usage and speed, and the integration of different parts) among all platforms; and latexit is just a sexy little kit that comes in quite handy now and then

Don't you know if there are TeX packages with a smaller footprint?
Also, it just can't be 1.2GB of pure code, is it? Even fonts don't take that much memory..

where there's this thing: BasicTeX-2008 (54.1 MB). i never tried it before but from the description it should be relatively capable for its size.

It is listed here:

If you require a portion of TeX not included in BasicTeX you can install the required part via the "TeX Live Utility" - do a Google search to find where to download it.

This update will be an absolute lifesaver for me. Services work again and everything is beautiful. Thanks so much.

I have a question that the people here might be able to help me with. I want to make a demo on how to use Latexit for my colleagues but most of them have a PC. Is there a similar program that lets you type Latex code and it will convert it to equations? I'm assuming not but its worth a shot.
I have never tried it, but I heard that TexPoint could help.

Especially as a gadget via a google personal page this works quite well.

sudo ln -s /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/i386 /usr/texbin
This assumes an Intel processor - but SN requires one so it is a safe assumption. If you are using a different version of MacTeX then you will have to change the command accordingly.

Thank you!!!

I had the same problem as Hotfreaks: sometimes the edges of certain equations were cut off. I found the trick to fix this within LatexIt there go to the menu Palettes -> Margins and set the margins a little bit bigger. In my case this fixed the problem.
Cheers,
Vincent
