About

Telescopo is a Markdown editor and notes app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Read comfortably, write your way, convert existing documents into Markdown, and export work that’s ready to share. Keep your files with you through iCloud. READ Give your Markdown documents room to breathe. Choose a theme, adjust the font, reading width, and zoom, and navigate longer documents by heading. View Mermaid and ZenUML diagrams, LaTeX equations, highlighted code, tables, and images alongside your text. Open files and folders directly from your device and work with the documents you already have. WRITE Choose how you want to write: use the visual editor, edit Markdown directly, or work with your source and live preview side by side on supported layouts. Add headings, lists, tasks, tables, images, diagrams, and equations with built-in formatting and insertion tools. Start with a guided template, customize its structure, and save personal layouts for reuse. Organize notes with folders and tags, pin frequently used documents, and find your work with search. Link related notes and use backlinks to follow the connections between them. Capture a quick thought, open today’s daily note, or settle into a longer writing session with word goals, writing focus, and typewriter scrolling. Need a hand? The on-device AI editing assistant can help create outlines, lists, tables, and other supported content, or shorten and clarify selected plain text. Review suggestions before applying them. Requires a supported device and language with Apple Intelligence enabled. CONVERT Bring existing work into Markdown. Convert Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, and text-based PDF files. Conversion happens locally and leaves the original file untouched. Review the converted Markdown before saving it as a new note. Conversion requires Apple silicon on Mac. PDF layout may differ from the original, and PDF images aren’t extracted. Scanned pages that require text recognition aren’t supported. EXPORT Turn your Markdown into a polished PDF. Choose portrait or landscape orientation, set the paper size and margins, and control page breaks. Customize headers and footers with text, the document title, date, and page numbers. Preview the result before saving, sharing, or printing. Export Mermaid diagrams as SVG or PNG for use in presentations and other documents. You can also share original Markdown files or export your library with supported attachments. SYNC Keep files stored in iCloud available across your Telescopo installations on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Supported appearance and writing preferences can sync separately. Your notes remain ordinary Markdown files. Work in your own folders, and use local history and recovery tools to review earlier versions or recover deleted notes. GET STARTED Reading Markdown, diagrams, equations, and Quick Look are included. Explore editing tools and PDF previews with your own documents or Samples. A subscription unlocks writing and editing, document conversion, PDF and diagram export, and supported AI features. Monthly and annual subscriptions provide access across Mac, iPhone, and iPad using the same Apple Account. A separate Mac-only lifetime purchase is also available.

User reviews

Bait and switch?

I bought this outright, and now you’re rent-seeking me?

Response from developer

Hello! Apologies, there was a small bug in 7.1.3 that might have caused the issue. We've released v8 which adds a substantial number of features to both the free and paid tiers of Telescopo. We hope you check it out and consider a fresh review if you are satisfied.

Solid Markdown viewer /editor

Honesty up front, I do a lot more viewing than editing in the app, but it does work well for what I’ve needed from both. The multiple themes, etc. are great.

One small hiccup I keep running into (the reason for 4 stars instead of 5). I have Telescopo set as my default Markdown app. When using the command line to call `open` on a markdown file, Telescopo will launch if it wasn’t running, but something about that causes it to ignore the file that was requested. Calling the exact same `open` command a second time will properly open the file.

Hello, we've recently released v8 which fully resolves this issue and adds a substantial number of new features. We hope these features can earn an updated 5-star review!

Great for AI Markdown Files

This is a fantastic way to review markdown files created by agents like architectures, diagrams and the like. Much easier to use than what’s out there. Thanks for making this!

Response from developer

thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

A Truly Useful Markdown Companion

I’ve tried many Markdown editors, but this one stands out. It’s smooth, handles diagrams and math beautifully, and PDF export is top-notch. Perfect for real work on macOS. Highly recommended.

Response from developer

We've updated our app to v8 and have added a substantial number of new features, and in particular we've vastly improved our PDF export capabilities. We hope you enjoy these updates, thank you for supporting Telescopo!

Looks very promising.

I installed this and gave it a look. Looks very promising. They need to disable or gate or fix the Latex section detection, for financial markdown, the turn stuff starting with $ into a “Latex - upgrade to pro” advertisement, which is gross. But if they make this switchable, and even better off by default, this would be a great program for me.
