Great viewer, not good for export
Jelloskins
I got this program because it could view markdown and mermaid. It does well with this, but the main thing I needed was to print or export to a PDF. When I do this, the mermaid images are not available. So it is not very usable for me. I had to pay to find out the feature I needed doesn’t work.
Developer Response
Hello sir! Your feedback in our support channel was valuable to us. We were able to pinpoint the precise issue with mixed Mermaid and Markdown content. We have pushed an update that fully resolves this issue and will let Telescopo Pro users do a complete and accurate PDF export for Mermaid, Markdown, and now LaTeX as well. We have also added landscape export support to ensure that wider graphs/charts can be more viewable when exporting to PDF. We appreciate your feedback and please don't hesitate to reach out via our support page if you need anything else!
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!
Developer Response
thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!
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.
Developer Response

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.
