What sets Sarmate.net apart from other online LaTeX editors.
Overleaf imposes a 20-second timeout on the free plan. Sarmate.net offers 1 min / 2h on free, 5 min / 2h on Perso, and unlimited on Pro — more than enough for theses and long documents.
LaTeX + HTML/JS/CSS + office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in one workspace. A single tool for all your academic and professional documents.
Professional CVs, theses, research papers, Beamer presentations... Get started immediately with our pre-configured, customizable templates.
What Overleaf doesn't offer: visual editors for probability trees, sign/variation tables, colored boxes (tcolorbox), LaTeX tables, and TikZ/PSTricks figures. Create complex structures with a few clicks, LaTeX code is generated automatically.
Hosted in France and Europe, with no third-party tracking or advertising cookies. Your documents remain private and protected in compliance with GDPR.
Five structures Overleaf forces you to type character by character — on Sarmate, you build them with your mouse. Click below to start in the editor.
Hand-coding this takes 30 minutes of trial-and-error. Visually: 2 minutes.
