Typeset Typst vs Folio Writer

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.

Folio Writer is a plain-text writing studio for long-form work — scholarly manuscripts, books, and novels. This is its iPhone and iPad companion: the same projects, the same files, in your pocket. Open a project from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any Files location and pick up exactly where you left off on the Mac. Everything you write is a plain Markdown or Typst file you own, synced through your own cloud — no accounts, no lock-in. WRITE ANYWHERE - A Markdown key bar puts #, *, links, code, and $math$ one tap away — no hunting through the keyboard. - Typewriter scrolling and sentence focus for drafting on the go. - Live word count and writing targets for each document, the whole draft, and each session. - Hardware-keyboard shortcuts on iPad. YOUR WHOLE PROJECT - The full binder: browse, open, rename, reorder by dragging, indent and outdent, and create new documents from templates. - Snapshots you can take, browse, compare, and restore — nothing you write is quietly lost. - Project-wide search across every document, title, synopsis, and note. CITATIONS & PREVIEW - Insert citations from the project's BibTeX files by author, year, or key. - Preview the rendered document — headings, tables, images, and LaTeX math typeset with KaTeX — right on the device. - Preview a single section or assemble the whole manuscript. MADE TO SYNC WITH THE MAC - Opens the exact same .folio projects as Folio Writer for Mac, byte-for-byte. - Automatic, conflict-safe syncing: edits made on two devices merge when they don't overlap, and a losing copy is always preserved and recoverable. - Compiling to PDF and Word stays on the Mac (those tools are desktop-only) — but your writing is always in sync. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No analytics, no trackers, no accounts. Your manuscripts never leave your own devices except through the cloud service you choose. Folio Writer for Mac is required to compile finished documents. The companion is for writing, organizing, and reviewing your projects wherever you are.
