Archimedes Editor vs Console for MATLAB programming Usage & Stats
Archimedes is a Markdown editor designed to make mathematical writing easy with inline LaTeX support.
MARKDOWN EDITING
At its core, Archimedes is a fully-featured plain text and Markdown editor. It includes a fast syntax highlighter and provides convenient keyboard shortcuts for common actions, such as inserting images and links. With complete support for Markdown and the Format Bar floating above the keyboard, Archimedes makes formatting and structuring documents elegant and easy.
MATH MODE + AUTOCOMPLETE
In Math Mode, Archimedes lets you write mathematics in a subset of LaTeX, making it an approachable LaTeX editor. Just enter $$ to get started. Over 700 intuitive commands, such as \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}, help you produce stunning mathematical output. Archimedes even autocompletes commands and intelligently matches closing braces, brackets, and parenthesis as you type.
MAGIC TYPE
Just getting started with LaTeX syntax? Don't know the code for the asymptotically equal symbol? Just draw it! Archimedes will recognize the symbol and insert the corresponding code for you.
LIVE PREVIEW
As you work, a beautifully-typeset live preview of your document is always visible. You can even select a custom theme, and Dark Mode is fully supported. Themes come with various font faces.
MATH LIBRARY
Browse the math library to see all available LaTeX commands and their previews in one place.
NAVIGATOR
Working on a long document? Use the Navigator to pull up a table of contents and quickly jump between sections.
IMAGES
Insert images from your Photos library, via the Document Camera, or by drawing sketches right inside the document.
DOCUMENT SYNC
Archimedes is the only app of its kind that supports syncing documents via iCloud with its Mac counterpart.
SHARING
Share your work with the rest of the world via email, iMessage, AirDrop, and more. Export documents to the Files app in PDF or HTML formats. You can even print with AirPrint.
SEARCH
Use the Find bar to quickly find text in any document.
STATISTICS
View the character count, word count, and reading time as you work.
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Take advantage of Magic Keyboard and keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the app.

Console allows you to run MATLAB code on iOS devices. It comes with a MATLAB interpreter that supports functions frequently used by college students or learners. Individuals who do not need specialised functions should find this app a valuable tool.
Console is powered by the same MATLAB interpreter of our flagship app, SIMO. Before purchasing SIMO, you should download Console to see if this interpreter is adequate for your work. We continue to expand its capability by supporting more functions and language syntax in future updates.
While other similar apps perform computation on the cloud, Console executes MATLAB code using the on-board silicon. Internet connection is not required — even the documents are offline accessible within the app. Being able to use the app without internet connectivity is a great benefit for users with non-cellular iPads. Another great benefit is that plots are interactive and responsive since they are rendered in real-time by the on-board GPU.
Console has 4 key components:
1. Console Input, where you input MATLAB statements. It supports
- Line numbering
- Syntax highlighting for MATLAB keywords and built-in functions.
- Auto-indent.
2. Console Output, where the results are displayed. It supports
- Full-text search
- Variable view height to fit the contents.
3. Figure, where 2D or 3D plots are displayed. It supports
- Multi-touch gestures for zoom, pan, and rotate (3D plots).
- Attributes (such as axis labels, ticks, limits, line colour) can be configured using the built-in tool. No coding is required.
- Sharing plots as images with third party apps.
- Saving plots.
4. Documents, which contains the full set of SIMO documents accessible offline.
- MATLAB functions.
- Tutorials on MATLAB language basics.
- Searchable by document title and contents.
