“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.

처음에는 구독제가 마음에 들지 않았지만.

메이저 업데이트가 진행되면서 결제 방식이 구독제로 바뀌어서 반감을 가질 수밖에 없었습니다. 그래서 스크리브너로 넘어갔는데, 율리시스만의 미려한 인터페이스나 직관성을 따라잡지 못하고 불필요하게 느껴지는 기능이 너무 많아서 결국 율리시스로 돌아오게 되었습니다.

iA Writer 같은 값싼 대안이 있음에도 율리시스로 돌아오게 된 이유는 율리시스의 마크다운 XL이 마크다운 표준보다 편리한 것도 있거니와 테마나 폰트를 변경할 수 있다는 점이 아닐까 싶습니다. 한 시트 내에서 장문의 글을 써도 버벅임이 없다는 것이 가장 큰 강점이네요. (다만 한 시트 내에서 장문의 글을 쓰면 초반부를 수정할 때 버벅이는 경우가 있습니다.)

꾸준하게 글을 쓰셔야 하는 분들에게 추천합니다. 애플에서 왜 이 어플을 밀어주는지 이해가 됩니다.

굿

압도적으로 심플하고 직관적인 인터페이스가 마음에 들어서 결국 율리시스로 정착했습니다. 다른 글쓰기 어플과 비교했을 때 탁월한 점이지요. 다만 동기화에서 가끔 말썽이 있습니다. 아이클라우드를 이용할 경우에 아이폰과 아이패드에서는 원활하지만 맥에서는 종종 동기화에 실패하는 일이 있습니다. 맥 아이패드 아이폰을 모두 사용하는 이유는 훌륭한 연동성에 업무의 연속성이 있기 때문입니다.
아이클라우드 동기화만 원활하다면 더할 나위가 없겠습니다.

Developer Response ,

We would like to thank you for your nice words about Ulysses. In regards to iCloud synchronization, we are very sorry that Ulysses is not working as intended. Ulysses should sync across all of your devices. The issue you are having might be related to a problem with the iCloud background service, which is needed by Ulysses to synchronize your sheets across your devices. Could you please go through all the steps in our iCloud FAQ to rule out common sources of error, if you haven't already? You can find it here: ulys.app/icloud. If that doesn't help, could you please contact us via help@ulysses.app? — Kayla
