Are there any? I could find proprietary apps doing it from Google’s PlayStore but I really rather use a FOSS alternative if there are any. I tried searching on F-Droid and I couldn’t find any.

    There’s a couple in-browser ones, in case you don’t find an app

      Thanks, from LaTeX website, they inform of OverLeaf (not FOSS) more like freemium web app? It works nicely though, Papeeria - also same as OverLeaf in terms of FOSS, and CoCalc which I’m very unfamiliar with and it’s different from the first two but also not FOSS webapp. I wish there were apps because I don’t even know if there are self-hosteable TeX live equivalent so I could use it without relying on an online service

      Don’t you need to give Termux too many permissions (for obvious reasons and well justified sincd it’s a terminal emulator)? That’s the only thing keeping me away from Termux, I’m not very familiar with it and I don’t feel comfortable going ahead onto an app like that since I’d use it exclusively for this purpose. Thanks for the suggestion though (I didn’t know you could run vim/nano from there, interesting, by the way). For anyone reading this and don’t think this way I do and want to give it a try, here are some Termux official webpages:

        Afaik, Termux is an actual Linux system made for Android’s file system and that runs inside an app, so it actually can do a whole lot more, provided there’s a tool ported for what you want. It can even run some graphical distros.

    Just in case you are not aware of typst, there’s a modern version of latex called typst. It may not yet have all features but if you can live with >90%, I’d switch immediately

    Edit: termux can run typst

    Joplin is FOSS & supports live LaTeX. The editor is markdown & you use $ for inline LaTeX & $$ for full line.

    They’ve got both desktop & mobile versions. One of my favorite apps.

      TeX is a typesetting language. Instead of visually formatting your text, you enter your manuscript text intertwined with TeX commands in a plain text file. You then run TeX to produce formatted output, such as a PDF file. Thus, in contrast to standard word processors, your document is a separate file that does not pretend to be a representation of the final typeset output, and so can be easily edited and manipulated.

    I can’t help you, but I am curious about your use case. I would hate to write a LaTeX document on my phone :p
