Telescopo for long-form writing

Navigate by heading, connect supporting notes, read without distraction, and prepare deliberate PDFs from long documents.

A long document should be easy to enter, leave, and return to. Structure helps the writer continue and helps the reader know where they are.

From a rough idea to a finished essay or report.

Capture the opening on your phone, develop the argument on a larger screen, and keep supporting notes close as the document grows.

  1. Give the idea a shape

    Create a note with a working title and the headings the argument needs. Draft in Visual and leave the source available for precise formatting.

  2. Continue with the context close

    Keep the document in iCloud to continue on iPad or Mac. Link research notes, use Navigator to find a section, and open supporting work in another Mac window.

  3. Revise as a reader

    Adjust typography and reading width, review the document in Reader, then choose paper size and page breaks before exporting the PDF.

Give every section a purpose

Use headings that reveal the argument rather than merely naming a topic. A reader scanning the outline should understand the route through the document and find a useful place to resume.

Keep supporting work connected

Link research, decisions, character notes, project records, or reference material instead of forcing every useful detail into one file. Bring material into the main document when the reader needs it to follow the argument.

Change modes as the work changes

Use Visual for composition, Source for exact syntax, Split for demanding structures, and Reader for revision from the audience’s perspective. A separate window can keep supporting work visible without crowding the active section.

Read at the right scale

Adjust width, typography, zoom, and appearance for the screen in front of you. Check the same work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac when the audience may move between them.

Design the final pages

Choose the target paper size early enough to reveal crowded tables, long code lines, oversized diagrams, and awkward section endings. Use deliberate page breaks and review the generated PDF from beginning to end.

Bring your thinking into focus.

Start with one real note and follow it as far as it needs to go.
