“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.

Exceptionally good, and needs to get better.

I don’t think the negative reviewers here realise what it takes to build a beautiful and minimal interface for diverse writers. If you are a serious writer, and if that’s what you do - the subscription cost doesn’t really matter. I would have rated Ulysses at 4 stars, were it not for the litany of nonsensical and whimsical one star ratings here. My few gripes with Ulysses: 1. Make the app friendlier for academic writers with support for academic referencing, subscript, superscript, bibtex, etc. 2. Bring in integrations with other blog providers such as Squarespace. 3. Please bring more to the revision mode in terms of writing styles and audience. Bring it closer to Grammarly. Advanced styling and grammar support can be among additional in-app purchases. One pays for a an editor AI, or one doesn’t. There is no point of a half-assed grammar and style check.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for this excellent review! We are so happy someone really understands what we're trying to do and what it takes to do it. Thanks for sharing this! Regarding your feature requests, I've +1'd the feature requests for Squarespace blogging, support for sub/superscript, and bibliography integration in your name, so please consider your vote counted. I can't make any promises as to when or whether we will implement this, but your feedback is highly appreciated. Regarding Squarespace blogging, Squarespace currently does not have a publishing API which is necessary for an integration. As to subscript and superscript, there's a workaround. Please get in touch with us directly so we can share instructions on how to do that. Regarding bibliography integration, could you please tell us if you'd rather manage bibliographies in other apps, manage your bibliographies in Ulysses, or would like to import standardized bibliography formats (such as BibTeX). Regarding our advanced text check, we are making use of LanguageTool which is an Open Source project and relies on users feeding the system with language rules. So it is evolving and every user can help make it better by feeding rules into the system. In case of further requests, please don't hesitate to reach out directly. You can reach our support team via help@ulysses.app —Andrea

Best Writing App for Serious Writing

Ulysses is one of the easiest and convenient distractiom free writing apps. I think the subscription is worth it if you are into sefious writing. The library feature allows you to segment your writing into parts. Casual notes are handy however the app compliments serious writing creating a distraction free UI for the user. Worth it!

This is only .... what ?

Yes, it's garbage or just nothing due to it's foolish price and subscription plans and there no basic version. Mostly the app interface looks amazing and minimal to use with a good features," Features", that you also found in other apps but not interface like this . So I think that's the reason for this type of price range and monthly and yearly subscription ? I don't know why some people's go for this app because it's really worthless. If they need to make it a perfect app so they need to put a basic version of this also. But I think the two or three similar types of app like scrivener are its rival, but you don’t have to see this . please try to create it's basic version also , than people find this app useful because it's look great. But for only writing, people find it really worthless and they don't use it. If it's comes in basic version I think it's amazingly best app for writing than ever.

Developer Response ,

We are very sorry you feel that way. The reason behind our move to a subscription-based business model is that it enables us to fix bugs way quicker than before and develop a lot of highly-requested features. We explain the exact reasoning why we switched to subscription here: ulys.app/move Our app is appreciated by writers worldwide because it offers incredible organizational opportunities, fully customizable export, the ability to set writing goals and to publish blogs in an environment that allows you to fully focus without being distracted by anything thanks to a simple and intuitive interface. A full list of all of our app's features is available on our website: ulysses.app/features/table As to your request for a basic version, we considered this but decided intentionally against it. Instead, we decided to finally offer student pricing. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us directly via help@ulysses.app –Andrea
