Write the paper. Draw the figures. Finish the PDF.

  • Nothing to install
  • Private by default
  • Templates and starter boards
  • PDF tools without an account

One account, three workspaces

Everything a paper needs, in one place.

Start wherever the work is: write the source, draw the figure, or repair a finished PDF. Each workspace stands on its own, and one sign-in opens all of them.

Everything in one place

Less tool-switching. More good work.

The parts of a serious academic workflow, brought together while every control stays understandable.

An editor that helps, quietly

Get command and environment completion, citation keys from your own .bib files, project-path suggestions, useful diagnostics, and search and replace across the project.

Compile with confidence

See readable errors, build history, and the latest successful PDF while bounded no-shell-escape compilation protects the host.

Figures that stay vector

Draw once on Jackal Board and export the same frame as SVG, PDF, PNG, or TikZ source—text stays real text, not a screenshot.

Real project structure

Organise nested files and folders, upload complete projects, restore revisions, and export a clean ZIP whenever you need it.

Review without the noise

Invite collaborators with explicit roles, attach feedback to lines or board elements, mention people by name, and resolve discussions when the text is ready.

Find your way in both directions

Jump from a selected word in the source to the exact place it was typeset, and from selected PDF text back to the characters that produced it.

Comfortable in every light

Choose a crisp pearl workspace or a deep ocean theme. Your preference follows you across every page.

A short path to done

Your document workflow, simplified.

Begin with a proven structure, keep the writing and the figures together, and invite feedback when you are ready.
