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 looks and feels simple and intuitive on the surface, but also packs a lot of thoughful features that stay out of your way until you need them.

And your files are encoded in plain text, so you’re not locked into Ulysses forever — any basic text editor will be able to open and edit them, formatting intact.

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