This is a wonderful application. A very simple new feature will make it perfect for me, and healthier for everybody. I would like that the background color in the pdf could be user selected. A non-white, appropriate background, will help to examine the pdf with less eye and mental tiredness. This should be very easy to implement (I hope!). Thank you for the great job.

Can I make a couple suggestions? Is it possible to have any non-command text in math mode be a different color? Sometimes when I have several $'s in a line, it's hard for me to tell if I'm putting all the right things in math mode or all of the wrong things! Also (and I don't know how difficult this would be) is it possible to have a "Close Environment" shortcut which when hit will identify the nearest \begin{…} and will automatically insert a \end{…} to match it at the current cursor location? Thanks for fixing the cursor problem. Also, I'm not sure in which update this was handled, but I no longer have the PDF viewer hanging -- it would require that I restart the program every 15 minutes. I had to step away from using the program for a while because of that, but now it's working very well. Thank you for your efforts.

On the face of it this seems like an awesome app, until I realised that it needs a separate TeX package of software totalling over 2 Gb! Why so big? Because it's basically a complete graphics and rendering engine that grew out of Unix but isn't optimised for OS X. I'm a scientist and I'm familiar with and use some of the packages at work but I don't see this as a solution for the Mac environment. The TeX environment will never take advantage of OS X technologies as they evolve because it isn't dedicated to the Mac platform. I want software that's built with, for and uses OS X. This software looks like it does an admirable job of being a front end for TeX but in the end that's all it is. Ultimately, if you write for work it's the content that's important. All the journals have staff that convert it in to publishable format.

Hello, fist of all thanks for your app. Trying it some times, I've o report a very annoying bug which still exist since several versions. When a new version is available, I use the in-app update. But everytime, without any exception, it download the update, ask my password, then I click to install the update.....and it still stuck like this. Every time, I need to kill he app's process. The strangest in that is that the app is updated (on next launch I own the new version), but it still everytime be stuck during the update process and needing to be kill bu hand... Thanks for it !

TeXnicle is an awesome app. I have been trying various LaTeX IDEs for OS X, and always coming back to just using emacs. TeXnicle is the first graphical environment that I find really convenient. The live update is a killer feature. In comparison, TeXmaker has memory leaks and was horrnedously slow on my larger documents, and looks rather bad on a HiDPI display; TeXshop has a bug that prevents changing the font color, so you can't have a dark theme, and it's a mess of floating windows; TeXworks looks the worse on a HiDPI screen, even the editor's font looks gross. It also uses floating windows. All these competing programs may be older, but they all appear to me as less feature-rich than TeXnicle, or if some may have more bells and whistles, they are not necessarily the most useful ones. TeXnicle nails what's most useful, while keeping a clean and organized interface. And I didn't hit a serious bug yet.

I'm using/testing this since the early betas (20s) and this just keeps getting better and better every version. It has become one of my favourite apps. I use it for everything -- research papers, thesis, articles and personal notes. It is perhaps the friendliest way to typeset high quality text.

There is a mysterious issue with Texnicle. Every single time I open it, it complains that "the file cropped.pdf couldn't be opened because there is no such file". I uninstall the software, clean the preferences and reinstall and it still complains...

I downloaded TeXnicle this morning and it seems to be primarily what I was looking for. I have many projects that include multiple files, and I wanted to have the files nicely organized without multiple open windows. The interface is very sleek. Question: it is possible to have the tex files soft wrap at the border of the viewing pane, and not be fixed to a specific character width?

TeXnicle has become my favourite LaTeX file editing and typesetting environment on the Mac, because it is the most Mac-like TeX editor and can be adapted to one's own needs rather easily. Similar to other TeX editors, one may create inserts and floats, change text styles or use special signs by the selection and insertion of ready-to-use TeX code clips. TeXnicle even gives visual hints, how the result may look like. In contrast to other editors, however, one may add those TeX commands which are not available in the default selection (which is smaller than in other editors), but one is in need for. This works also for your own commands (with the little disadvantage that one does not get a visual aid or one has to include also those parts of the command definition which are usually placed in the preamble). Most of my LaTeX files are written in German and contain many special characters such as German umlauts. These were all properly shown, when I first opened one of my files in TeXnicle (not so with some other TeX editors available for the Mac). The pdf viewer is integrated resulting in a less cluttered desktop and allows a live update of the typeset document one is working with. Otherwise TeXnicle has many functions such as the handling of syntax highlighting, multi-file project handling, file and project templates, bookmarks, command completion and many other things one may expect. Overall a very well designed and stable program which so far did not show any glitches.

I'm just recently change from TexMaker to texnicle and happy with it. I previously have the pdf and console viewer integrated with my editor window. But, yesterday, I accidentally adjusted the pdf viewer pane to a smaller size and it just vanished. the same goes to the console viewer. Could you please point to me how to get back the integrated windows (editor, pdf and console)? The option View>Enter Fullscreen Mode is in grey which means I can't click the option. Thanks.

Creating a TeX file can be a laborious, tedious and frustrating experience. Any tool the eases the process is to be warmly welcomed. Such a tool is TeXnicle. The interface is clean and uncluttered. One of the chief advantages of this program (for me, at any rate) is the integrated window environment: the TeX file, the console and the preview can be made visible all at the same time as panes in the main window. However, should you choose, It is possible to make any of the panes go away if you wish. There are palettes that: provide convenient access to a wide range of macros (both character and structural); provide access to currently open documents; and control over running TeX. A number of 'engines' are provided with the program (pdflatex, xelatex, etc.) though it is relatively simple matter to create your own -- a very basic knowledge of shell scripting will help. There is a robust mechanism for handling 'projects': multiple TeX files that are a part of a larger work -- chapters of a book, for example. There is a very extensive set of preferences that allow you to control a wide variety of the program's functionality. Crucially, the developer is obviously deeply committed to the task of making the software a good as it can possibly be. He is both responsive and thoughtful, open to new ideas and, altogether, a very nice chap. Though the version I am using (version 2) is currently in beta, it is extremely solid -- I have had no problems at all in that regard. In short, TeXnicle has become my TeXing environment of choice. Well done.
