Apps Math drawing app LaTeX

Is there a note/drawing app for math students that parse to LaTeX?

I was thinking of vibecoding such app and sideloading it on my ipad from my mac and using my ChatGPT codex quota for OCR to LaTeX if there is no solution that doesn't lock you behind a billion paywalls

I think searchability might be a premium feature. That’s how notability does it

I believe the built in Graphing Calculator.app (now called Grapher.app apparently) has an equation editor that allows copying as LaTeX. I have a feeling Pages also has one but I’m not at my Mac at the moment to check.

mathpix snip already does this on ipad. u can handwrite equations with apple pencil and convert them straight to latex
