gorgeous and well thought out

Ulysses is a beautiful, intuitive and non-distracting writing environment. I consider it the “home base” for almost* all the creative writing I do, from brainstorming all the way through final versions. The design that looks and feels simple and intuitive on the surface, but packs a lot of well thought-out features that stay out of your way until you need them. All of your files are in plain text, so you’re not locked into Ulysses forever.

iCloud syncing is still problematic sometimes (I have occasional glitches that render Ulysses unable to read *any* of my work until I reset iCloud by logging out and back in. But that may well be an iCloud issue — and you can always choose to sync via Dropbox (or nothing at all) if you prefer.

* If Ulysses supported Fountain screenwriting syntax (which is plain text-based), I’d use it for screenplays as well. Hopefully they’ll get around to that at some point.
