We rebuilt and redesigned it from the ground up, retaining and extending Telescopo Flavored Markdown to support a new notes workflow. Telescopo had already grown from a Markdown viewer into Markdown Studio. It could handle demanding documents: diagrams, equations, tables, code, and a lot more than ordinary formatted text. We wanted to bring that capability into an app where you could capture a note, develop it, connect it to other work, and return to it across your devices. That required a new library, new navigation, visual editing, and a different relationship between documents. The redesign covers how you work with a collection of notes as well as what happens inside each one. The Markdown core is doing more work Telescopo Flavored Markdown is central to this. It builds on CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown, with Mermaid diagrams, ZenUML diagrams, LaTeX equations, callouts, footnotes, wiki links, and other document structures. Those capabilities become useful in different ways inside a notes app. A diagram can sit beside the explanation you are still working through. An equation can be part of a research note. A wiki link can connect that note to the project it belongs to. The links live in the documents themselves. Backlinks let you follow them in the other direction, and the graph gives you a view of how your notes connect. You can move from a detail in one document to the larger body of work around it. A project plan with its diagram and document connections on iPad. The visual editor on iPhone. You can write visually without learning Markdown syntax. Edit text and tables directly, check off tasks, and work with the content in front of you. Markdown source is available when you want direct control, and Split view shows the source alongside the rendered document. The source remains a readable Markdown file. Telescopo-specific features need a renderer that understands them, but your writing is accessible outside the app. That matters when you have an existing folder of notes or want to use the same files with another tool. Building the workflow around notes We also changed how you start. Guided notes let you choose a useful structure, decide which sections and supported elements belong in it, and preview the result before creating the document. You can save a personal layout for work you do repeatedly. A meeting note, for example, might need decisions and action items. A research note might need references, an equation, or a diagram. The Markdown core gives those starting points something substantial to work with. Watch the Telescopo iPhone demonstration Recorded in Telescopo on iPhone: a guided plan, a rendered diagram and related notes, then PDF options. The recording is silent. You can try a small version of this workflow with the downloadable linked-note example: keep the plan, its diagram, and a supporting research note together. Once notes accumulate, finding your way back matters. The library brings together folders, tags, pins, recents, and search. Links and backlinks help you follow related work. The outline helps you navigate a long document. These are all parts of the new notes workflow. Reading still matters just as much as editing. We carried forward the attention to typography, themes, page width, and zoom, along with the rendering of diagrams, math, tables, and code. A rough note can grow into a substantial document without losing those capabilities. Preparing a document for PDF export on Mac. PDF export uses that same document foundation, with control over paper size, margins, orientation, theme, and intentional page breaks. Local history, recovery copies, and Recently Deleted provide ways to recover work as you write. Mac has room for the library, editor, and reader together. iPad combines larger document views with touch. iPhone makes capture and editing available wherever you are. You can keep files locally or use iCloud Drive to continue across devices. “Bring your thinking into focus” is the idea behind Telescopo. This rebuild gives that idea a much broader application: from a quick note to connected research, technical writing, and a finished document. The Markdown foundation supports all of it. Kamilovision: building a music visualizer Kamilovision is a real-time music visualizer for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Its worlds have their own motion and atmosphere, with musical reactions that carry you through a track. Helios Dynamo has been a useful reference point while we refine Kamilovision. A kick or a change in bass can make its star swell and pulse. You can see the musical cue in the reaction, and the reaction belongs to the star. That is the kind of connection we want throughout the app. Kamilovision turns live audio into visual journeys. The music needs to influence what is happening inside each world, from its smaller movements to its more pronounced moments. Different worlds give us different ways to do that. Glacier Run carries you forward through ice. Tidal Horizon lets water and changing light set the pace. The Listening Archive puts the response into the lights, books, and atmosphere of a library. Each has its own character, so each needs its own musical language. Getting the reaction to belong to the world Much of our recent work has been about making those reactions easier to read. A bass impact might push through water, a light sequence might travel along a train, or a burst of sunlight might originate at the sun. The source, the movement, and the way the effect settles afterward all matter. The world also has to remain interesting between those moments. Motion, weather, reflections, and smaller responses carry the track while the larger journey unfolds. A scene needs enough continuity for you to stay with it through an entire song. Watch Kamilovision in motion Recorded live in Kamilovision while music played. This silent excerpt shows the continuous motion between musical moments. Mirror Monsoon. Water, rain, mist, and reflections are part of the same moving scene. Fluid motion is a big part of that experience. Water needs movement of its own, with musical energy affecting its behavior. In Tidal Horizon and Mirror Monsoon, the surface and reflections contribute to the atmosphere throughout the track. This is why we spend time watching the app in motion. A still image tells you something about the composition. It cannot tell you whether a swell feels right, whether travel stays smooth, or whether a musical reaction appears to come from the right place. Audio capture has needed the same attention. System Audio on a Mac gives the analyzer a direct signal. An iPhone microphone hears speakers, room noise, and the acoustics of the space. We have worked on that microphone path and its sensitivity controls so the musical cues are easier to pick up at ordinary listening volumes. Rendering on a phone brings another constraint: the visuals need to keep moving smoothly over time. Quality profiles let you choose a balance for the device and display you are using. More detail is useful when the device can sustain it; consistent motion is part of the visual quality too. Giving you control of the experience Kamilovision can accompany an album at home or become part of a DJ set. Those uses need different amounts of attention. Sometimes you want to leave the visuals running. Sometimes you want to decide exactly when a world changes. Adaptive playback can choose and time the next journey from the music. An Ordered Live Set follows your chosen sequence. Hold lets you stay with one world while it continues moving and responding. Pause Session preserves the frame and suspends rendering and audio analysis. Worldheart with its response and appearance controls on Mac. You can tune the response and appearance of a world, save a Custom Visual, and add your own images or GIFs. Those layers can respond to music through movement, scale, rotation, opacity, and playback. This gives you room to make the visual your own while keeping the original available. On a compatible external display, the audience gets the visual and you keep the controls on your device. That is useful when you want to adjust the set without putting menus over the picture. A compatible wired connection offers the most consistent display delay; AirPlay Screen Mirroring depends on the device, receiver, and network. Kamilovision runs on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Mac supports System Audio, microphones, and connected audio devices. On iPhone and iPad, use the microphone or a compatible connected audio input. Audio analysis and rendering happen locally. We judge the experience by watching it with music for a while. A good reaction catches your attention. The movement and atmosphere need to hold it through the rest of the track.
