Typst Editor is a macOS and iPadOS writing app for editing Typst documents with live preview, file integration, and built-in viewing tools.
What is Typst Editor?
Typst Editor is a document editing app for macOS and iPadOS that helps users write and preview Typst projects locally. It is designed for people working with the Typst typesetting language, including students, technical writers, and anyone preparing structured documents with fast visual feedback. The app combines a code-style editor with live preview so you can write and immediately see formatted output as you work. It also supports common document workflows beyond raw Typst editing, including opening files from the system, previewing Markdown and image-based assets, and reviewing PDFs inside the app. On Mac, it runs as a native desktop app and is available through the App Store.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate document-editing app distributed through the App Store for macOS and iPadOS. Access to your files is normal for an editor whose main purpose is opening, editing, previewing, and exporting documents. If you use custom fonts, packages, or imported files, treat them like any other project content and only open material you trust. Removing the app will stop access to its built-in editing, preview, and annotation features, but your own document files remain separate from the app itself.
Recommendation: Keep Typst Editor if you actively write or review Typst documents on your Mac. If you no longer use Typst workflows, you can remove the app to free space and switch to another editor without affecting ordinary files stored elsewhere.
