![]() If you want to have the 3 column view with a light theme in windowed mode so you can see all of your notes, but would rather use a dark theme without the folder sidebars when you’re full-screen, just use those options in the respective locations and Ulysses will remember what you like. There’s already some nice themes there, and it’ll be exciting to see more themes show up.īut then, my favorite Ulysses writing feature is that it remembers how you like your window to look in windowed and full-screen mode. Now, that’s accompanied by themes, so you can download styles and share your own in the beautiful new Ulysses Style Exchange. There’s always been a couple of styles built into Ulysses, including the nice default scheme and a Solarized theme that each had an accompanying dark mode, along with the options to simply tweak the style of every part of the Markdown syntax. It’s a simple way to jot down separate notes, flesh them out, and pull them together into a cohesive work.Īnd no matter how lenghty your writing is or how many sheets you have glued together, your text will always look beautifully clean in Ulysses. ![]() Scroll to the end of a document, and keep scrolling to open the next sheet automatically. You can select multiple sheets and “glue” them together to keep them as a set (perhaps to keep your table of contents and chapters stuck together while still individual), merge sheets, or now in the latest update split sheets at your current curser position. Rather than just showing one blank document when you open the app, as the average text editor does, Ulysses shows everything you’ve written on individual sheets. It makes Markdown look so nice, it’s the writing app that'd make anyone want to start using Markdown. Links, images, and footnotes get an extra popover to make it easy to add them to your text without cluttering everything, and pressing and holding CMD+V will let you paste rich text or code. There’s Markdown formatting added as you write, with standard keyboard shortcuts to make it easy to write in Markdown even if you’re not used to it. You’ve got the plain text writing simplicity you’d expect, with extras. ![]() Here’s what made it so great, and what’s extra nice about it with the just-released v1.2 update: Simple & Beautiful Markdown WritingĪt its core, Ulysses is still a plain-text writing app, just one that happens to include a lot more features than most. I’d left Word-the original all-in-one writing app-behind in lieu of lighter apps and Markdown, and I didn’t see a need to go back.īut with Ulysses III, putting everything together clicked for me, enough that I switched to it as my main writing app. Most Markdown writing apps let you export as basic HTML, which is plenty for a web writer, and then there’s Marked for any other export needs you may have. I’d tried the original Ulysses, as well as Scrivener, both of which offered to make managing documents and writing and publishing easier, and yet I only found they complicated my work. Its beautiful simplicity still makes it my favorite plain text editor. I love trying out new writing apps, wanted to switch to the Mac just so I could get Notational Velocity and WriteRoom years ago, and then bought iA Writer for Mac the second it was available. That perhaps doesn’t sound so revolutionary, but it was enough to win me over. It's a one-stop-shop for all your writing needs, and a beautiful one at that. You could write, easily keep up with all of your texts, and export in any format, all in one app. Ulysses III was everything a web or print writer needed in one Markdown-powered app. It was feature packed, but then hid everything away to let you focus on your text. It had the writing simplicity of iA Writer or Byword combined with in-line formatting and text info panes and more that’d remind you more of a traditional word processor, combined with file management that could rival a notes app like Evernote and exporting tools that’d rival Marked. Then a brand-new reworking of a writing app with a decade’s legacy, Ulysses III was at once the 3rd version of the closest competitor to Scrivener, and a new writing app unlike anything seen before. ![]() Just under 13 months ago, I tapped Purchase on an app in the Mac App Store that changed the way I write: Ulysses III.
