Typeset compiles Typst documents on Apple devices. You can use the spectacular universe of packages to add content and style your documents. In addition to typst, Typeset integrates the Tinymist language server for autocomplete and command signature hints. Typeset is completely free and open source and always will be. Typeset is unaffiliated with Typst. A native Mac editor with your Typst source and a live PDF preview side by side. The preview keeps pace as you type, and clicking it jumps straight to the matching line of source. Typeset embeds the Tinymist language server, so the editor understands your document as you write it. Start typing and Typeset suggests the functions, parameters, and symbols that fit, including your own #let bindings and anything pulled in from a package. Call a function and a signature hint shows its parameters and their types, so you don't have to keep the documentation open in another window.
