“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.

关于使用注解的一点建议,希望能够解决

很喜欢markdown可以直接对于文本进行不同类型的分类、编辑,比如标题、注解、评论之类的内容,但是因为平时都用中文,所以每次使用大括号时都要将输入法切换至英文,然后再切换回来,希望开发者能够注意到这类中英文键盘的差异导致的不便,谢谢

Developer Response ,

您好,感谢您的反馈与对 Ulysses 的支持。针对这种情况,您可以在为注解设置专门的快捷键,这样您就不必经常切换中英键盘了: 偏好设置 > 标记 > 双击 “注解” 这一行会弹开一个小窗口,窗口的右上角就可以设置快捷键。 若您还有其他问题,欢迎随时通过邮箱 help@ulysses.app 与我们联系。 - 超凡

相对完美但还不够完美

1.mac端无法全屏,全屏后整个节目会边成黑色,看不到文库,极其难看。
2.我知道你们的理念是专注创作不用分心去考虑排版,但如果能把预览的小眼睛放在主工具栏,就更好了。毕竟有很多人不是作家,他们是用来记笔记的,记笔记就要随时看,看的时候好多符号总觉得别扭,如果能点击一下小眼睛,马上变成浏览模式,就更好了。
3.文稿的排版形式最好也和文库类似用折叠的方式,这样更直观。
4.希望你们积极更新,努力创作,无论现在的版本如何,只要你们在不断做的更好,我们就会继续支持,加油

感谢您的留言。不知道您是否启用黑暗模式后进行全屏显示?全屏模式与窗口模式的显示效果是相互独立的。关于您其他问题,您能发邮件给我们吗,这样我们能更详细为您解答?help@ulysses.app
