Description

Ulysses is your one-stop writing environment for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Its pleasant, focused writing experience, combined with effective document management, seamless sync, and flexible export, make Ulysses the first choice for writers of all kinds. ++ Apple Design Award Winner 2016 ++ “The app is amazing. An absolute delight to use. Well done.” – David Hewson, Bestselling Author (The Killing) ### A Text Production Powerhouse Ulysses’ markup-based, distraction-free editor lets you focus on your most important task: Write, edit, and write some more. Formatting is kept for later, so you can completely immerse yourself in the text. Ulysses’ uniquely streamlined toolset covers the entire writing process, and its clean and simple interface will boost your productivity. From first to final draft, from prologue to closing chapter – Ulysses keeps you in the flow, so you can get stuff done. ### All Your Texts, All the Time Everything you’ll ever write is stored in Ulysses’ unified library. You can manage projects of all kinds and sizes, be it novels, diaries or study notes – they are always saved, and automatically in sync. And since Ulysses offers feature parity across macOS and iOS, it doesn’t matter where you are or when inspiration hits: All its tools, and all your texts, are always at your fingertips. ### Built-In Proofreader and Editing Assistant Write with confidence, thanks to Ulysses’ integrated grammar and style check. Available for over 20 languages, it analyzes your text and offers informed suggestions for capitalization, punctuation, semantics, redundancy, style and more. ### Create eBooks, DOCX, PDFs and HTML Ulysses’ export is flexible enough to cover any writer’s needs: Transform your text into beautiful PDFs, Word documents or eBooks. Or export HTML code, ready to be used anywhere on the web. You can even choose between a variety of pre-made formatting styles for all kinds of purposes, or create your own and share it with other users. ### Publish to WordPress, Ghost & More Do you blog? Ulysses’ offers best-in-class publishing to WordPress, Ghost, Medium, and Micro.blog. You can post to WordPress, Ghost and Micro.blog from right within the app – complete with images, tags, categories etc. Publishing to Medium works just as easy, and all four offer a built-in preview to proofread before submission. ### Pricing Ulysses requires a subscription. We offer monthly and yearly subscription plans. They include a fully functional trial, so you can test Ulysses (including export and sync). There’s also a special discount for students. All plans unlock the app on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and feature full synchronization. ### Questions Please visit ulysses.app for more information.

    I bought and subscribed so I could have an app that fulfills its promise to allow me to write my projects on any of my Apple devices, and here years later when I try to do some edits on my phone, the docs I need are stuck “Downloading…”. I rarely need to use my phone for editing, luckily, but every time I try I get that same problem. With multiple phones over the years. 100% FAILURE rate. I read online that it’s because you rely on Apple’s sync mechanism and it has caching/space optimization problems. How about: I am YOUR customer and YOU aren’t providing the level of functionality you promised. If you can’t trust Apple’s mechanism, WRITE YOUR OWN. Yours is the only app I use that has this problem. That tells me that the other apps have written their own sync code.

    I think its good, but I also think the price is a little too high. I would use it more if the prise was a little lower.

    I liked using this app up until I opened it today to find that I've been locked out the night I need to finish writing a short story for my creative writing class. In order to continue working on my assignment in Ulysses I have to pay through the app store, which I can't really do right now, and the app offers no alternative payment methods. There is also no free version whatsoever. As is, I think subscription services are really gross and predatory and their growing prevalence disgusts me, however, I especially think it should be illegal to list subscription-locked apps as "free" if there is no free alternative. Feels like false advertising. I suppose that's a problem with the App Store and not Ulysses, though. For now, I'm moving back to Bear, at least there is a free version of that app.

    I downloaded the app and deleted it on Les then3 minutes. Once I discovered that to get any use out of it I had to pay. Why pay when they are other options probably just as good for free. Wanted to like it but no thanks free is just fine in another app.

  • Another Rent-A-Ware app. Go with Scrivener.

    Update, moved to the app One MarkDown app. One time fee of 9.99 for lifetime license. Also checkout MWeb from the same author. A lot like Ulysses where you can bundle articles together using iCloud. I choose One Markdown as it allows the use of our own private server NextCloud. For the cost, go with Scrivener, has a lot more features. Another simple app that wants you to pay forever. I’m a Dart/Flutter developer. Prior, Swift dev. This app isn’t terribly complicated. Don’t get me wrong. It took some work. But compared to Goodnotes, WorkingCopy, etc., no where near it. Has a lot of features missing, like Apple open support. I would pay 14.99 one time fee for this app. Do it like how Goodnotes, WorkingCopy, etc, do. When a major release comes out, then that’s a new cost. Like Apple open support. But paying, 5.99 for a simple Markdown language app, or even 29.99 a month for my rest of my life forget. In addition, they are asking for your money for the rest of your life and there is no Android app, no Linux support, no Windows Support. If you are gonna take that much money, we should getting more. Invest it back into development. Going with Scrivener. Has a lot for features for the one time cost.

  • My favorite text editor

    I use Ulysses mainly for crafting posts for my Ghost blog. It's a delightful piece of software. The only issue I have with it is the unreliability of the sync.

  • It's good for writing

    Has a nice "no distractions" mode but also features for organizing & reorganizing

  • not free it's subscription based

    Its a nice app with a good looking UI. I'd say the one thing keeping it from being an alternative for Scrivener in my option is that Ulyssess is subscription based and I can get a perpetual license for Scrivener. I'd rather pay once and be done.
