Aldine
Collaborate on and compile LaTeX documents in real time with native Git branching, bibliography sync, and AI-assisted authoring via Model Context Protocol.
Aldine is a lightweight, self-hosted collaborative LaTeX editor designed as an open-source alternative to Overleaf. Built with CRDT-based multi-cursor synchronization, sandboxed TeX Live compilation, and a native Git backend for every project, it enables researchers and writers to branch, merge, and synchronize across GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea seamlessly. With native Zotero integration, visual and source editing modes, and a built-in MCP server, Aldine enables AI assistants like Claude to read, edit, typeset, and inspect PDF outputs directly alongside human collaborators.
