Overleaf, formerly Writelatex[1] is an open-source collaborative, cloud-based LaTeX editor used for writing, editing and publishing scientific documents. It partners with a wide range of scientific publishers to provide official journal LaTeX templates, and direct submission links. [2] [3] [4]

Overleaf was co-founded in 2012, by John Hammersley and John Lees-Miller. Both are mathematicians and were inspired by their own experiences in academia to create a better solution for collaborative scientific writing.[5]

Overleaf is a privately held company run by its two founders. The company received strategic investment from Digital Science in 2014, after being part of the Bethnal Green Ventures accelerator programme in 2013.[6]

On January 14th 2016, Overleaf founder John Hammersley took part in a Reddit AMA on the r/science subreddit.[7]

On July 20th, 2017, Overleaf acquired ShareLaTeX, to create a combined community of over two million users.[8] Overleaf V2 combined original features from both into a single cloud-based platform hosted at overleaf.com.

In March 2019, Overleaf reached over 4 million users worldwide.[9] Customers include universities alongside research institutions such as CERN.[10]

Overleaf is available as an on-premise solution for enterprise companies. It is locally installed for businesses who want to host their data inside their firewalls on local servers.
