What's new in MathLive

MathLive 2.3 polishes the editor that 2.2 filled with new ways to write math.

MathLive 2.3

Magic edit in the ✨ menu

Each formula keeps just two small buttons. Magic edit is now in its ✨ menu, next to scanning, drawing and finding a formula.

A roomier editor window

The editor window grows on big screens, with bigger formulas, its own ☰ menu, and one ✨ menu for every way to fill it.

Menus that close when you expect

MathLive's menus close on a click anywhere else or on Escape.

MathLive 2.2

Find a formula

Search a library of thousands of formulas by name, by what they describe, in any language, or by LaTeX. When it isn't there, Write it with AI writes it for you.

Draw a formula

Draw with your mouse or pen, or scan the code and write on your phone. The formula shows up on both screens as you go.

Magic edit

Describe a change to a formula, typed or spoken, and MathLive makes it. Undo is one click away.

Cleaner notes

A formula's buttons only show when you point at it, everything for the whole vault is in one ✨ menu, and we fixed the issues you reported.

Already have MathLive? In Obsidian, open Settings, Community plugins, and choose Check for updates.

Earlier: MathLive 2.0

Edit formulas inside the sentence

Inline formulas stay at text size, and the Expand button opens a larger editor with the math keyboard.

Scan instead of typing

Turn a screenshot into LaTeX, or scan straight from your screen: a PDF, a website, or any other app.

Faster, more accurate scans

Each scan goes to the AI model that reads it best, so printed and handwritten formulas both come out right.

Turn a PDF into notes

Convert every page, or only the ones you choose, handwritten pages included, with formulas as editable LaTeX.
