ayaka-notes/ayakaleaf-pro

The ultimate open-source Overleaf extension and alternative: a free, self-hosted, drop-in replacement for Overleaf Community Edition with nearly all Pro feature—SSO, AI Assistant, Git(Hub/Lab）/ Dropbox sync, track changes, sandboxed compilation, Zotero, Mendeley and more. Formerly @Ayaka-notes Overleaf Pro. Docs: https://ayakaleaf-pro.ayaka.space

What it solves

Ayakaleaf Pro is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Overleaf's commercial offerings. It provides the core LaTeX editing experience of the Overleaf Community Edition, but adds a wide range of professional features typically reserved for paid tiers, such as AI assistance, advanced synchronization, and enterprise-grade administration tools.

How it works

It functions as an enhanced version of the Overleaf Community Edition. By self-hosting the platform, users can bypass commercial restrictions on compilation times and access a suite of integrated tools including an AI Chat Assistant, an Error Assistant, and deep integrations with Zotero, Mendeley, and GitHub.

Who it’s for

Researchers, students, and academic institutions who need a powerful, collaborative LaTeX editor with professional-grade features but prefer an open-source, self-hosted solution.

Highlights

  • AI-Powered Assistance: Includes an AI Chat Assistant and an Error Assistant to help with document creation and debugging.
  • AI-Enhanced Translation: Uses Claude and Codex to translate the platform's interface into multiple languages.
  • Enterprise Features: Supports SSO (LDAP, SAML, OAuth 2.0), an admin panel for global project management, and 2-way GitHub sync.
  • Academic Integration: Direct integration with Zotero and Mendeley for reference management.
  • Infrastructure Support: Supports both x86_64 and arm64 architectures via Docker, with sandbox compilation using the texlive-full image.
