Typst Desktop v1.0.0

The first release. A desktop editor for Typst with the compiler built in, so there is nothing else to install.

Features

Writing

• Live preview that recompiles as you type, with no need to save
• The preview follows the file you are editing, not only the entrypoint
• Syntax highlighting, snippet autocompletion, and inline diagnostics
• Formatting toolbar and page settings
• Optional tinymist language server support for hover documentation and go to definition
• Export to PDF

Files

• Every document is an ordinary file on your drive, readable by any other editor
• Open a single .typ file or a project folder with chapters, bibliography, and assets
• File explorer with a right-click menu, drag and drop, rename, duplicate, move, and reveal in your file manager
• Thumbnails showing the first compiled page, and previews for images
• Full screen image viewer with zoom and folder navigation
• Autosave, off by default or every 5, 10, or 15 seconds

Fonts and images

• Import from anywhere on disk, or drag and drop into the workspace
• Searchable asset browser with previews in the editor toolbar
• Shared asset library available to every project, overridable per project
• .ttf, .otf, .ttc, and .otc fonts registered by their embedded family name

Cloud

Optional. Without an account the app is entirely local.

• Browse your TypstDrive folders, documents, spaces, and anything shared with you
• Download to this device and open straight from the cloud view
• Three-way merge with a conflict resolver when a file changed in both places
• Automatic sync on a timer, paused while conflicts are unresolved
• Upload a local project to the cloud as a space
• Role permissions honoured, with viewer access kept read-only

Appearance

• Light and dark themes

Install

Packages for Debian, Fedora, and Arch are in the README.

• The language server is not bundled. Install tinymist separately for its features.
