Solid Markdown viewer /editor
Low Gravitas
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.

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!

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.
