About
ModernTex is a native macOS editor built around the academic manuscript workflow, not general LaTeX editing: multi-file navigation, synced PDF preview, BibTeX autocomplete by author or title, compile errors rewritten in plain language, submission-readiness checks, and an anonymized export for double-blind review. Free 7-day trial, no account, then $10 once with updates included. Needs macOS 14+ and a TeX distribution; ModernTex offers a one-click TinyTeX install if you don't have one.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
