TeXShop is a free LaTeX and TeX editor and previewer for macOS. It is licensed under the GNU GPL.
TeXShop was developed by American mathematician Richard Koch. It was modeled on NeXTstep's bundled TeXview.app and developed for the then new macOS user interface Aqua and capitalized on the native PDF support of that version of the Macintosh operating system, [1] which was itself based on NeXTSTEP's successor OPENSTEP. Mitsuhiro Shishikura added a Macro editor, a magnifying glass for the preview window, and the ability to transfer mathematical expressions directly into Keynote presentations. Lacking the TeX eq → eps Service which TeXview afforded, other apps such as LaTeXiT.app were developed to provide Service support. TeXShop requires an existing TeX installation and is currently bundled with the MacTeX distribution.
The program (then version 1.19) won the 2002 Apple Design Award of Best Mac Open Source Port [2] for its capability to display scientific and technical documents created in TeX format. In fact, TeXShop makes it possible, thanks first to "pdfsync.sty", to switch back and forth between code and preview easily, jumping at a corresponding spot, simply by a CMD-click. From TeXShop 1.35 onward this also works with multipart documents, which are joined by "\include". Also, with version 1.35 TeXShop was extended with XeTeX support.
The MacOS "Tiger" version of TeXShop is capable of jumping from preview to code and vice versa without pdfsync.sty, using the PDF search technology built into Tiger.
Starting with version 2.18, TeXShop also has included support for SyncTeX. This technology also allows jumping from preview to code and vice versa without including any special style file, but is much more reliable than PDF search, especially for documents that include mathematical formulae.
Version 2.26 in universal binary (PPC+x86) was released on 17 March 2009, requiring Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later with Mac OS X 10.5 recommended. Version 2.28 was released on 7 November 2009 as part of the TeX Live 2009 release of MacTeX.
For users of Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3, Release 1.43 remains available (as well as v1.35e and 1.19 for 10.1.5 and earlier).
For users of Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6, Release 2.47 remains available (10.5 or higher is strongly recommended).
As of Release 3.39, a new TeXShop dock icon, designed by Thiemo Gamma, has been used. In Finder, TeXShop documents will still use the original icon (designed by Jérôme Laurens and later re-constructed by William Adams for its use with retina displays) for associated LaTeX documents.

4.79: Sierra and above
4.44: Yosemite through Big Sur
2.47: Systems 10.4, 10.5, 10.6
Microsoft Office, MS Office, or simply Office, is an office suite and family of client software, server software, and services developed by Microsoft. The first version of the Office suite, announced by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988 at COMDEX, contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint — all three of which remain core products in Office — and over time Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, Object Linking and Embedding data integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand.
macOS, originally Mac OS X, previously shortened as OS X, is an operating system developed and marketed by Apple since 2001. It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of all Linux distributions, including ChromeOS and SteamOS. As of 2024, the most recent release of macOS is macOS 15 Sequoia, the 21st major version of macOS.
NeXTSTEP is a discontinued object-oriented, multitasking operating system based on the Mach kernel and the UNIX-derived BSD. It was developed by NeXT Computer, founded by Steve Jobs, in the late 1980s and early 1990s and was initially used for its range of proprietary workstation computers such as the NeXTcube. It was later ported to several other computer architectures.
OpenStep is an object-oriented application programming interface (API) specification developed by NeXT. It provides a framework for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and developing software applications. OpenStep was designed to be platform-independent, allowing developers to write code that could run on multiple operating systems, including NeXTSTEP, Windows NT, and various Unix-based systems. It has influenced the development of other GUI frameworks, such as Cocoa for macOS, and GNUstep.
Cocoa is Apple's native object-oriented application programming interface (API) for its desktop operating system macOS.
The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system formerly named Mac OS X until 2011 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its "classic" Mac OS. That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Mac computers since their introduction in 1984. However, the current macOS is a UNIX operating system built on technology that had been developed at NeXT from the 1980s until Apple purchased the company in early 1997.
The Dock is a prominent feature of the graphical user interface of macOS. It is used to launch applications and to switch between running applications. The Dock is also a prominent feature of macOS's predecessor NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems. The earliest known implementations of a dock are found in operating systems such as RISC OS and NeXTSTEP. iOS has its own version of the Dock for the iPhone and iPod Touch, as does iPadOS for the iPad.
Mail is an email client included by Apple Inc. with its operating systems macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Mail grew out of NeXTMail, which was originally developed by NeXT as part of its NeXTSTEP operating system, after Apple's acquisition of NeXT in 1997.
Preview is the built-in image viewer and PDF viewer of the macOS operating system. In addition to viewing and printing digital images and Portable Document Format (PDF) files, it can also edit these media types. It employs the Aqua graphical user interface, the Quartz graphics layer, and the ImageIO and Core Image frameworks.
Pages is a word processing program developed by Apple Inc. It is part of the iWork productivity suite and runs on the macOS, iPadOS, and iOS operating systems. It is also available on iCloud on the web. The first version of Pages was released in February 2005. Pages is marketed by Apple as an easy-to-use application that allows users to quickly create documents on their devices. Many Apple-designed templates comprising different themes are included with Pages.
Yet Another Previewer is the name of two different document previewing applications, one for DVI and one for PostScript.
Rhapsody is an operating system that was developed by Apple Computer after its purchase of NeXT in the late 1990s. It is the fifth major release of the Mach-based operating system that was developed at NeXT in the late 1980s, previously called OPENSTEP and NEXTSTEP. Rhapsody was targeted to developers for a transition period between the Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X. Rhapsody represented a new and exploratory strategy for Apple, more than an operating system, and runs on x86-based PCs and on Power Macintosh.
AppKit is a graphical user interface toolkit. It initially served as the UI framework for NeXTSTEP. Along with Foundation and Display PostScript, it became one of the core parts of the OpenStep specification of APIs. Later, AppKit and Foundation became part of Cocoa, the Objective-C API framework of macOS. GNUstep, GNU's implementation of the OpenStep/Cocoa API, also contains an implementation of the AppKit API.
In NeXTSTEP, OPENSTEP, and their lineal descendants macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS, and in GNUstep, a bundle is a file directory with a defined structure and file extension, allowing related files to be grouped together as a conceptually single item.
TextMate is a free and open-source general-purpose GUI text editor for macOS created by Allan Odgaard. TextMate features declarative customizations, tabs for open documents, recordable macros, folding sections, snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system.
Smultron is a text editor for macOS that is designed for both beginners and advanced users, named after the Swedish word for the woodland strawberry.
MacTeX is a free redistribution of TeX Live, a typesetting environment based on TeX. While TeX Live is designed to be cross-platform, MacTeX includes Mac-specific utilities and front-ends. It is also pre-configured to work out-of-the-box with macOS, as it provides sensible defaults for configuration options that, in TeX Live, are left up to the user to allow for its cross-platform compatibility.
Mac operating systems were developed by Apple Inc. in a succession of two major series.
TeXworks is free and open-source application software, available for Windows, Linux and macOS. It is a Qt-based graphical user interface to the TeX typesetting system and its LaTeX, ConTeXt, and XeTeX extensions. TeXworks is targeted at direct generation of PDF output. It has a built-in PDF viewer using the poppler library; the viewer has auto-refresh capability, and also features SyncTeX support.
