Host
Open a LaTeX folder or ZIP in LocalLeaf. The working project and compiler run on this computer.
Your paper. Your room.
Host a LaTeX project, invite your people, and compile from your own computer.
Write, invite, approve, compile.
One room.
Four clear moves.
The host opens the door. Everyone else gets a browser and a place in the draft.
Share
Create one temporary link and send it to the people joining your session.
Approve
Guests request access in a browser. The host decides who enters before the project opens.
Write
Edit together, keep human chat beside the source, and preview each PDF the host compiles.
The whole draft,
in one frame.
Source on the left. PDF in the center. People and helper tools on the right. The host remains in control.
The host carries the room.
LocalLeaf keeps the working project, sharing controls, and LaTeX compiler with the host app.

Before you open the room.
Four practical answers for the person hosting the paper.
Do collaborators install LocalLeaf?
No. Approved guests join the live session through a browser.
Where does the PDF compile?
The LaTeX compile runs on the host computer, then the current PDF is shown to the room.
How long does the link last?
It is a temporary session link. Stopping or replacing the session invalidates the old link.
Which host downloads are available?
LocalLeaf provides Windows and macOS host builds. Guests still use their browser.
