Authorea uses its own renderer that only produces a PDF at export time. Sarmate compiles in seconds with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, or LuaLaTeX and shows the real PDF live.
Use your existing .bib files directly — no migration to a proprietary citation system. biblatex, natbib, all styles work.
Web in France (o2switch), compile servers in Frankfurt (IONOS). No US data transfer. Important for sensitive research and GDPR compliance.
Templates for ACM, AMS, IEEE, RevTeX, theses (MIT, UCB, UCL), reports (TU Delft, ULB, INSA, AMU). Use directly, no adaptation needed.
Try the editor for 2 minutes in the demo, no account. Import your .tex and .bib files and compile immediately.
