Quick Start¶
Single Project Mode¶
Open a LaTeX project directory directly:
This starts the editor on http://localhost:14159 and opens it in your browser. Docker compilation is enabled by default.
Disable Docker (Local Compilation)¶
Custom Port and Host¶
Custom Docker Image¶
Multi-Project Mode¶
Launch without arguments to enter registry mode:
From the project page you can:
- Open Folder — browse the filesystem and register an existing directory
- New Project — create a new LaTeX project at a chosen path
- Rename — change a project's display name
- Remove — unregister a project (optionally delete files from disk)
- Search — filter projects by name or path
- View toggle — switch between grid and list views

Projects are stored in ~/.config/tinyleaf/projects.json.
