Overleaf runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 233 installs a week from npm. Last commit 14 Sep 2026.
Read and edit Overleaf papers from any AI client. Edits can arrive as tracked-change suggestions.
Today is the operative word: we check Overleaf every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
