Write every day. This is the mantra of the modern author. However, between your ever tantalising Twitter feed, the lure of the latest episode of Survivor and that 'just one more game' of Golf Clash cycle you're in, there's plenty of distractions just waiting to interrupt your creative flow.
When you're ready to get your fingers caressing the keyboard then it's best to keep the diversions to a minimum. This is where Ulysses comes in. A wonderfully well-rounded app for authors of all types, it packs enough features to give renewed focus to what really matters – your words.
Whether you’re responsible for a daily blog or well underway with a future best-seller, the app's elegant design – highlighted by a stylistic dark mode – and the ability to seamlessly sync your progress between devices, will put procrastination on the back burner.
Allowing you to separate your posts or chapters into tabbed sheets that can be easily categorised and searched, Ulysses also lets you set yourself daily writing goals, giving your productivity levels another helping hand.
To that end, the app fully integrates markdown code. That means you needn’t ever lift your fingers from the keyboard to add emphasis, bold or italicise words or even create lists. The result: your book deal in-the-making can then be exported with all your formatting preserved, saving hours of unwanted repetition. We even wrote this story using Ulysses.
