Why Wolfbook
◇
Real Mathematica notebooks in VS Code
A full Wolfram Language notebook experience inside VS Code — not just syntax highlighting.
◇
Opens your Mathematica .nb files
Double-click a .nb file: cells, text, typeset output and graphics open in about 20 ms — no kernel needed, the original is never overwritten.
◇
Live WSTP kernel
Evaluate through a live Wolfram kernel, with mid-evaluation abort, Dynamic[] and Manipulate, a debugger and a watch panel.
◇
Rich mathematical output
Typeset LaTeX/KaTeX with adaptive line breaking, SVG/PNG and TikZ graphics, interactive 3D, and coordinate tooltips on plots.
◇
WPaper for LaTeX
Write papers beside their compiled pages — click-to-source, comparisons, Git and Overleaf, and reviewable AI edits. Add WLaTeX for pages that change as you type.
◇
Built for AI agents
Live kernel access for GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Claude Science and any MCP client — set up automatically, safe by default.
◇
AI-readable notebook files
Plain-text .wb and .vsnb notebooks are diffable in Git and easy for AI tools to read.
◇
Presentations in your notebook
.wslide decks with LaTeX math and live Wolfram Language blocks; select a block and press ⌘K to ask for changes.
See it move
Manipulate stays interactive — move the controls and rotate the resulting 3D plot
Open an existing Mathematica .nb file, then save an editable .wb copy
Drag a Graphics3D result to rotate it in the notebook
Hover a 2D plot to read off curve coordinates
Format Wolfram Language cells in place, including named characters and indentation
WPaper · free, inside Wolfbook

Write your paper next to the paper

Open a .tex file and WPaper keeps the compiled pages beside your source, rebuilt from the unsaved buffer when you pause. Click the page to jump to the source; move through the source and the page follows.

  • Outline, folding, reference and environment checks
  • Printed previews when hovering \ref / \eqref
  • Compare with disk, a Git revision or another paper
  • Commit, three-way merge and Overleaf sync
  • Review AI edits on the page, keep or undo each one
  • Prepare for arXiv: one .zip, comments and drafts out, only the files you use
