### 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.

To expensive

WildBjorn on

to expensive

Utvilsomt blant de beste

Viggo Danielsen on

Tre ting gjør Ulysses nesten pperfekt: Enkel organisering av prosjekter og kapiteler, svært lesbar og skrivevennlig skrifttype, og muligheten for dark-mode og fullscreen. En stjerne trekkes fra fordi Ulysses er abonnement-basert, og det er vanskelig å forstå hvor dokumentene/filene er lagret (ingen åpenbart synlige filer i Finder). Ellers topp. Anbefales!

My second brain

Ordovician Cenozoic on

Ulysses have proven to have immense staying power for me. I have used many different kinds of note taking apps over the years but none have stayed with me for so long as Ulyssses. When Ulysses started charging subscription I abandoned it for several years in favor of iA Writer. I have a principle against paying subscriptions. Yet, after several years with iA Writer I came back because Ulysses is simply very hard to match by other software. iA Writer had some benefits I still like such as saving to standard Markdown format. Yet what I always missed from Ulysses was its search functionality. Searching for old articles in Ulysses works much better than in other tools I have used. When you write a lot over many years that is quite important functionality. What really sold me over the last year is the bultin "Check text" functionality. I paid an arm and a leg for a Grammarly subscription to check my writing only to discover that Ulysses provided much grammar and spell checking for a much lower price. Not just better but much faster and convenient to use. Grammarly on my computer was way too slow and impractical. It makes me actually a bit surprised that Ulysses is not more widely known and used.

Love Ulysses, and Obsidian...

J_Johns1 on

Ulysses is one of the best software I have ever used, but there are a couple of things that make me cosidering a move on to a new solution. First of all, when iCloud sync and there isn`t enough storage, I cant get access to my notes before everything has been synced and restored. Second, Ulysses is quite expensive, therefore I was moving over to Obsidian for a few months. I loved the free Obsidian, but I miss my Ulysses, so I`m back. Thank you for a great writing experience, Ulysses!!!

bug repport 24.4 (68036)

Pupkin Vasya on

Hi. It annoys me when: When i turn fullscreen mode in bright mode, but ulysses app goes suddenly into dark mode even though rest of the system is still in bright mode.

Great library for all kind of text, efficient writing

Aband on

Great writing experience, very nice to avoid all sorts of functional clutter that comes with rich text editors. Great sync, great export possibilities. I will add two more stars once they have implemented an easy way to backup your data as .txt or .md files, I find it cumbersome to export manually all the time. They do have a good backup, but it is proprietary so you cannot easily migrate data. Edit: I've added one more star for receiving a somewhat workable backup. It is possible to do a backup to universal format such as -txt or -md, it is just not so elegant (yet).

Too expensive.

FalconDema on

Looks like a great product, but its way too expensive unfortunalty.

Nice product, but stop nagging.

Nick nicked my nickname on

I like the product, but hate the constant pain in the bottocks having to write a review while in a creative process!

A great investment

Jorgo Jorgi on

People saying this is too expensive are simply not serious about writing. Great product with great customer support. Simple, yet powerful to use. I mainly use it for applications, but the software makes me feel like writing a novel. It gives you an unprecedented ability to structure and organize your texts. I simply love it <3

Best writing software i´ve tried.

Skauvik90 on

Makes me alot more productive. Theres also coolnesspoints to be scored, because of the sleek design; especially in fullscreen.
