“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.

Bon outil de travail

Voilà des années que j'utilise cette app qui me réclame aujourd'hui un petit commentaire que je m'aperçois n'avoir jamais fait… Il faut préciser qu'il n'y a rien à dire de spécial sur elle qui n'ait déjà été formulé ici ou ailleurs. Pratique pour rédiger du texte au km, plus simple et plus agréable d'emploi au final que les traitements de textes classiques, offre de beaux aperçus de la mouture finale, bien organisé pour bien s'organiser, en évolution (ce qui est toujours agréable). Seul point légèrement délicat : le mode d'emploi est en anglais et relativement dispersé sur le site de l'éditeur, ce qui peut réduire l'intérêt de nombre d'astuces et facilités pour les non anglicistes. Un manuel en français sera le bienvenu quand l'app aura pris la bonne vitesse de croisière qu'elle est en train d'acquérir au fur et à mesure des mises à jour. On pourra même le rédiger avec Ulysses !

Un bon positionnement

Très bonne application répondant mieux que toute autre à mes besoins. On peut regretter le prix — j'ai cependant pu bénéficier du tarif étudiant —, et surtout la formule d'abonnement, mais la qualité est là. Fluide, léger, efficace, fiable : on ne se pose pas cinquante questions, on écrit, on compose, on classe et on archive en quelques gestes. Idéal pour se constituer une bibliothèque de textes bruts.
J'ai hésité entre Ulysses et Evernote, mais ici tout est plus fluide et les possibilité de tri et compositions plus larges ; en outre, on est centré sur le texte et le clavier, c'est-à-dire sur l'essentiel.
Certaines limites à Ulysses, comme dans les possibilités de partage (importation) ou de classification, mais je ne doute pas que le support saura améliorer encore l'application au fil du temps. Merci Ulysses.
