What does the subscription include?
Reading, Mermaid and ZenUML diagrams, LaTeX equations, and Quick Look are included without a subscription. Annual and monthly subscriptions add personal writing, conversion on supported hardware, and export on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Mac Lifetime and eligible earlier Mac purchases cover Mac only. Apple shows localized prices and renewal terms before purchase.
Can I explore the app first?
Read your own Markdown, including diagrams and equations, without a subscription. Explore the included sample documents, editing menus, and sample PDF previews. Changing documents, sharing samples, or saving, sharing, and printing PDFs and exporting diagrams require paid access.
Can my family use it too?
Current monthly and yearly subscriptions are individual and do not include Family Sharing. Each person keeps their own files. If you have an earlier shared purchase, use Restore Purchases to check your access.
Does my earlier Mac purchase include the new version?
Yes. An earlier paid Telescopo for Mac app or lifetime purchase includes the new Mac version at no extra charge. That purchase covers Mac. An active monthly or annual App Store subscription covers all three platforms. Use the same Apple Account for purchases and restore access if it does not appear.
What does Setapp access cover?
Setapp includes premium features on Mac. Reading and Quick Look are included on iPhone and iPad; writing, conversion, and export there use App Store access.
What happens to my notes if I cancel?
After paid access ends, the complete reader and Quick Look remain included, with diagrams and equations. Personal writing, conversion, and PDF, print, or diagram export require paid access. Samples remain available for reading, exploring tools, and PDF previews. Your files stay in their original locations.
Do I need to know Markdown?
No. Write and format supported content in the Visual editor, then use Read to review it. Switch to Markdown source when you need precise control. Either way, your writing remains a portable text file.
How do I continue on another device?
Keep the Markdown file in iCloud Drive or another supported provider location available on both devices. Use the same iCloud account where needed and let files and attachments download. Local files stay local until moved or copied. Sync Preferences shares supported settings; it does not transfer documents. Reading synchronized files does not require a subscription.
Do I need a Telescopo account?
No separate Telescopo account is required. App Store purchases use your Apple Account; iCloud is optional. You can write, read and export offline once access and the required files are available on the device.
Restore or manage your purchase
Open Settings → Your Access. Choose Restore Purchases on a new device or after reinstalling. Choose Manage Subscription to see your renewal date and cancel through Apple. Canceling stops the next renewal; access continues until the end of the current paid period or trial.
If access still looks wrong, check that the App Store uses the Apple Account that made the purchase, then contact support.
