VerbTeX is a collaborative LaTeX editor with local and cloud project modes, available on Android, iOS, Mac, web, and Windows. It generates PDFs with PdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, or LuaLaTeX and supports BibTeX and Biber bibliographies. Local Mode stores .tex documents on the device, supports offline compilation, and does not require an account. Cloud Mode synchronizes projects with Verbosus and provides a web interface. Integrations include Dropbox, Box, Git, iCloud, Zotero, and Mendeley. The app also includes an AI assistant using ChatGPT and Claude. The free plan limits both local and cloud projects, documents, and uploads to two apiece. VerbTeX Pro adds code completion and unlimited projects and documents, priced at 3.99 USD per month or 8.99 USD per once. The app has no ads. The developer reports that the app collects no data, and Cloud Mode supports two-factor authentication in combination with Copiosus.
