A pleasure to use, if you have sync issues with Sierra do this

This is a great app. It works like any markdown app like Byword or iAWriter, but you can also keep your files in groups of “sheets", where you can move around the order, and export the group as it’s own document in a variety of formats (HTML, docx, markdown, rich text and plain text). It also lets you view paragraph numbers and keeps track of your line count.

It also stores “versions” of your files where you can browse previous versions you wrote through a Time-Machine like interface.

I had an issue with Sierra where my files would not show up and were displayed as “Downloading” indefinitely. To get around this, Eline at Ulysses support advised the following:

- Go to your macOS System Preferences... › iCloud
- Click on the “Options” button next to "iCloud Drive”
- Disable “Optimize Mac Storage

This worked for me. In the future I am also going to do a manual backup to Dropbox every now and then as I have to sync between multiple laptops and every once in a while I run into a scary snag like this.
