Hilbert is an offline desktop editor for the Typst typesetting language, published by Kazi Abu Rousan. Designed specifically for mathematics and physics writing, it provides a local, fully offline working environment in which documents are compiled and previewed continuously as the user types, giving immediate visual feedback on typeset output without requiring an internet connection or an external compilation setup. Its feature set is oriented toward scientific and technical authoring, and it ships with dedicated tools for equations, figures, plots, matrices, tables, and data import, making it suitable for preparing lecture notes, academic papers, problem sets, reports, and other documents that rely heavily on mathematical notation, structured data, and graphical content. Code intelligence is supplied by tinymist, which supports the editing experience with the kinds of language-aware assistance expected in a modern writing tool. Hilbert falls within the document editing and typesetting software category, occupying the space between a code editor and a word processor by focusing on the Typst markup language and its strengths in scientific typesetting. The application installs on a per-user basis and requires no administrator rights, which simplifies deployment on shared machines, managed institutional computers, and other environments where elevated privileges are unavailable. The current release is version 0.2.3, and the software has seen three versions in total, reflecting ongoing development and iterative improvement of the editor. Overall, Hilbert serves students, researchers, educators, and technical writers in mathematics and physics who want a dedicated, self-contained desktop application for Typst that combines live compilation, purpose-built scientific writing tools, and intelligent editing features in a single offline package that is straightforward to install and use on a personal workstation without administrative overhead.
