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.

  • Free with a catch

    App is not free. At least be honest with new users instead of listing it as free in the App Store.
  • Focus on writing

    I recently downloaded Ulysses after being a Scrivener user for more than ten years. I love the clutter-free interface and while Scrivener is good for organizing and compiling, I have always been worried about Dropbox syncing and accidentally losing my work. I still use Scrivener to store work, but prefer Ulysses for focused writing.
  • Keep Coming Back

    I have tried several apps for writing and am starting to realize that while they all have great features, those features can get a bit distracting. With Ulysses, I find that every time I leave it to try a new app, I keep coming back. It has enough feature to do what I want it to do, the exporting is top notch, and it will get out of the way as you need it to so you can just write … oh, and it is a Markdown editor which just adds to the simplicity (once you learn a few extra keystrokes). It is a well rounded, beautiful app…now to finish a project. Cheers!
  • Works well, but…

    I’ve used this app ever since it was Daedalus, mostly for what I think of medium length writing. It is my go-to app for that and I rely on it.
  • Lost files, didn’t receive support

    My files inactive for 12 months were auto-removed from Ulysses to backup, and they stopped backing up to my Mac. The online support directives to make them active again did NOT match the available communads on my backup files. Thus, I am unable to restore backup files to active files. Unfortunately, this renders Ulysses useless. I emailed a request a month ago for support, but did not receive any response from Ulysses. If Ulysses will provide a viable fix, I will update my review. August 2025.
  • Absolutely fantastic app for writers (one important tip)

    I cannot say enough good things about this program. Thank you to the team for building this. **Just make sure you click backup in settings and right click on the backup to find it in finder and save a copy of the backup elsewhere so you can always recover it. That is crucial.**
  • Best App Ever

    I have tried most writing apps and the research before purcahsing an app for writing all seemed to point to Ulysses. Everything about it is perfect for writing and writing on-the-go as you can sync all deveices (which most apps do not offer). I wouldn’t ever want to write in another program, ever. It is perfect, and worth every penny. BUY IT.
  • Thank you

    Ulysses is a sleeper app that has a built in editor and is very simple to write without interruption. I get better text and then edit and move to my end location (or leave in Ulysses). Way under appreciated as a notes and writting app. Update years later - it just helps me write more better heart felt text … other apps drive me crazy. Love it - I am not a pro and ya it cost a few but for me IT WORKS AS MY SPACE TO FLOW 😆👌 Still using Ulysses to journal or write drafts. It’s uncluttered space helps me write more often!
  • Amazing!!!

    This app is so intuitive. It works with my process. It doesn’t try to force me to think linearly. It allows me to get all the creativity on the page. I am freed from having to worry about where it is supposed to end up. But the parts are organized enough that I can find them when I need and put them into the whole. Thank you!
