No it doesn't.
Write in a plain text editor, have evince open the generated document, it will reload when updated. Then use inotifywatch to generate on save, or just write a hook in your text editor that will update the pdf.
You don't need to use overleaf to get the overleaf experience...

- gopiandcode 5y ago..except it's quite different though? Adding a hook for compilation in most decent editors is only a few lines of config, and many popular editors (GNU Emacs, vim, m$ vscode) nowadays have packages that have these hooks predefined, so it pretty much just comes down to installing a package, which I hope you don't think is beyond the capabilities of the average user. Alternatively there are editors like texworks which provide exactly this feature out of the box.
- dash2 5y agoSure, and inotifywatch is probably trivial too - to those who know.
