“The app is amazing. An absolute delight to use. Well done.”

### 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.

Bedste skrive-app

Ulysses er klart den bedste app til at skrive længere dokumenter i. Hvis du har en forfatter i maven, så kig ikke længere. Den kan så mange ting og er smukt designet. Jeg har undersøgt alle de skriveapps som er på markedet og Ulysses er klart den bedste.

Nice to write in. Sync is laggy

Great tool for writing. Simple. Clear. And easy to see progress in number of characters. Sync between iPad, Mac and iPhone is laggy. Almost unusable. You cannot count on documents synching corretly, which is strange since it uses iCloud for syncing.

Developer Response ,

We are sorry Ulysses is not working as intended. Ulysses should sync across all your macOS and iOS devices almost instantaneously! The issue you are having might be related to a problem with the iCloud background service, which is needed by Ulysses in order to synchronize your sheets across devices. Could you please take a look at the iCloud section in our FAQ to see if the issue can maybe be resolved that way already: ulys.app/icloud If your sheets are still not syncing afterward, please don't hesitate to contact us directly via help@ulysses.app —Andrea
