It has Changed the Way I Write

Ulysses hits perfectly between the hack of using a standard word processor and folders to create long-form writing, such as a novel, and the too-much-to-be-worth-the-effort kitchen sink approach of Scrivener. I have become many times more productive since I started using it and it quickly, quickly, QUICKLY justified itself in terms of cost. Even when working on a screenplay, which was unexpected. I also used to use Focused, which is a great little distraction-free editor for focused writing, because it had better options than Ulysses, but with this latest update, Ulysses is now on par and I find that I no longer need the separate app (which makes me feel bad for the Focused team, but I can’t fault the Ulysses team). And thanks for allowing different setting between window and fullscreen modes, so I can keep one in light mode without highlighting for editing and the other in dark mode with sentence highlighting when I’m focused on writing. Such a small thing makes this app so much more pleasant to use. I gifted the app, both Mac & iOS, to another writer because I believe in it that much.

Thank you for making my life a little less painful.
