Distraction-free, beautiful writing environment

Ulysses does two things very well: its simplicity gets out of your way and allows you to create, and its elegance and beauty provide a pleasing environment in which to create. Everything about this app feels polished and loved, and it doesn’t clutter things up with unnecessary or extraneous functionality.

I use this app in conjunction with the iOS app, as I often write on my iPad with an external keyboard. The iCloud syncing has been a breeze, and I use the backup function to ensure my work is kept safe.

The minimalist markdown functionality allows a simple and easy-to-remember way to mark up your text with simple concepts like emphasis and headers, and doesn’t distract you from the writing flow by launching you into an alternate universe of formatting options.

I’ve never had issues with crashing or bugs, and I’ve put hundreds of hours of use into Ulysses.

I can’t recommend Ulysses enough. Try it out for yourself and see what you think.
