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.

  • Best No Nonsense Writing App!

    By Finn Fann
    I’ve been able to write better and more consistently with this app’s design, due to its no-distractions look and effortless exporting feature. It helps me focus more on the actual words I’m writing rather than the format.

  • You have to pay

  • Love this app!!!

    By Jamie Nielsen
    I love Ulysses! It gives me suggestions for what to put if my writing is too casual (which really helps when writing professional works), helps with length of sentences, and you can add pictures and notes to any work! It has really helped me the past three years I've used it, and every penny I put in is worth it.

  • Where's my Pro version I paid for..?

    By EC0SMoNauT
    I paid money for Ulysses pro and it wasn't cheap... now i see it's been cancelled, and there's only a subscription, WHICH I WILL NOT DO (PERIOD). Very disappointed that this app is ultimately doomed to the trash can, as far as I'm concerned, and I'm upset that good money's been thrown out the window because this developer is wanting a cash flow monthly while basically only providing a border for a simple note taking app. DO NOT GIVE ON TO SUBSCRIPTIONS... thievery en-masse.

  • Good app, bad grammar checker

    4
    By RealScire
    I’m confused as to why Ulysses’s grammar checker is clearly designed for 1850s college essays. On the app’s page in the app store it’s marketed as an app for writing novels — well, writing anything, but especially novels. Yet the grammar checker is designed to oppose virtually every rule of storytelling. Ulysses itself is fine but the grammar checker has got to be the absolute worst grammar checker I’ve ever used. “These punctuation marks differ from each other. Use only one if you are ending a sentence.” Uh, yeah, ? and ! differ, but ?!, also known as an interrobang, is an immensely common punctuation used to express loud questioning, such as someone angrily asking a question or panicking over forgetting something. My sentence: “… through to her back …” The grammar checker: “‘to’ seems less likely than ‘the.’” Through the her back? WHAT?! In what universe is that even anything?! It’s literally even argued with itself. I wrote “was” and it said it should be “were” so I changed it to “were” and it decided it should be “was.” And several times it’s said “this language is informal” as if that’s a bad thing in a story. You WANT stories to be informal. It’s a huge part of how “show don’t tell” is possible. Again, Ulysses itself is fine, my only complaints about Ulysses itself are that I can’t find a way to see how much I’ve written per chapter as opposed to the whole book altogether, and colored text might be nice every once in a while. The colored text thing isn’t necessary, just something that would be neat. The stats thing bums me out a bit though, as I have absolutely no way of knowing how long my chapters are. For all I know, Chapter One is an entire novella long and Chapter Two is like 3 pages. I have no way of knowing, short of copying a chapter into Pages, which I shouldn’t need to do. Anyways other than that Ulysses is pretty solid, basically just like Notes but with modern export functionality that Notes still doesn’t have for some reason. But man, the grammar checker… Yikes. I really want it to be good but it’s just frustrating, essentially an insult to the app.

  • Minor adjustments

    I love this app but the problem is you have to convert it to PDF to share it with anything and it reformats it and makes more work.

  • Unable to cancel before 7-day trial is up

    By Brandym7
    I downloaded the app but to use it even for the free seven days, I had to agree to pay $39+ per year, except there’s no way to stop this. I’ve gone to the Apple Store and deleted the app, but it looks like I’ll have to pay for it regardless. Not cool. There must be a way to stop the payment. The app does not do what I want it to do.

  • Creating my book

    By Mr. Bill G
    I love this app as it provides all of the needs as a writer to have in a simple format. I can keep research notes and all support material handy when composing the text.

  • Not Free

    This is for pay. Misleading. Says “you can look but not touch” in setup.
