LaTeX is the popular document markup language that provides the standard solution for inserting math expressions into computer programs and creating print-ready documents.

Brisk is a straightforward Mac OS X application which enables you to typeset math expressions in the LaTeX document preparation system with ease. The highlights of Brisk are its lightweight size, command autocompletion and intuitive interface.

With Brisk, you can save lots of hard disk space because it does not require LaTeX installed on your Mac. Another benefit of using Brisk is that the program renders math expressions in realtime as you type them.

Brisk’s user interface is simple and user-friendly. The main window features a left pane for browsing your math expressions, a main pane to view the rendered expressions and for typing LaTeX.

As soon as you start writing LaTeX subsets, Brisk automatically recognized them and displays autocompletion suggestions. This feature is definitely a time-saver when you don’t remember a subset or want to finish your work faster.

When you finish an equation, you can simply drag and drop it onto various 3rd party applications. This way, you can easily insert any math equation to your projects, homework and other documents. What’s more, expressions can be exported to PDF and to graphic formats such as PNG, GIF and JPEG.

The application also comes with a built-in Palette panel for accessing various symbols, which can be inserted in your equation with a simple click. Moreover, you can also add your own expressions, if they are not included in the app’s palette, by typing them in the LaTeX editor.

As an added bonus, Brisk makes it possible to re-import PDF documents that were saved with Brisk. Using this feature, you can make backups of your rendered expressions to a PDF and reuse them when needed.
