## Internal Links You can now link to any heading within a sheet. - Same sheet, other sheets, doesn‘t matter. - Just start typing into the regular URL field, and auto-complete will list matching headings. - You can quickly jump to such links (on iPad, try CMD-click). - You can export those links (great for table of contents and personal knowledge bases). - We even import internal links from Markdown, DOCX and HTML files. ## History Navigation You can now jump back and forth between recently used sheets. - Navigate to the last edit. - Return to an internal link. - Go back to the previous sheet after using Quick Open. ## Bugfixes - Fixed restoring iCloud projects from backups (the iCloud backup wakeup). - Added Dark Mode to WordPress publishing preview (night owls rejoice; yayyyy…). - Fixed a crash when using {alignat} within an equation (aka “alignot”, haha). Have fun. Go back. Have fun. If you're happy with the app, please rate it, or even leave a review. This is a great way to support us indie developers. Thanks a lot!

Reviews of Ulysses

  • I love the updates!

    I've been using Ulysses for years since I started writing a novel & needed a better system for organization and editing. The recent updates with Projects feature have been great so far; before then I had to buy another app (Scrivener) for more complex stuff but then I kept coming back to this one because the UI and syncing in Ulysses are truly unbeatable. I not only write from my mac but also my phone and iPad, and have to admit that it really has the best UI for focus and simple editing. One thing I hope from the app is that there are less options for importing outside sources, like attaching PDF files or images. I know the editor isn't exactly to support high resolution files or complex layout before editing, but as the one who does not publish my writing through HTML or PDF and use Markup features only for faster writing & organization I sometimes want a system that can put together what I've researched for writing. I understand that simplicity is the key in Ulysses but it'd be great if you could allow something similar to happen in this wonderful app!

    Developer Response

    We greatly appreciate your review. It's wonderful to know that you enjoy writing with Ulysses and find the recent updates, particularly our Projects feature, valuable. Your support as a long-time user means a lot to us. Thank you very much. —Andrea
  • Not a silver bullet but Close

    I have just moved over to the Mac ecosystem from windows/google, and I was using another program almost exclusively. Heard Wonderfull things about Ulysses and had to give it a try. First off, I’m not a hug fan of subscription models, I would rather just pay outright, but this is worth it. I love the fact that the editor just gets out of my way, almost as if I have a blank page in front of me. Over the years, I found I work best when I can get my idea out first, then edit second. Ulysses makes it easy to plan as much or as little as I want. Outline, character sheets, plot mapping all can be done inside the box. Markdown is simple enough and to be honest, I like to keep everything as a txt file, yes you loose formatting, but it can still be opened twenty years later. What really won me over is the fact that bouncing between devices is painless. I don’t have to worry that what I wrote on my phone at lunch will not open or format right on my laptop when I get home. This is what sold me, I can start an idea anywhere and fully flesh it out later without loosing a beat.

  • An elegant, aesthetically pleasing, and robust writing app.

    Ulysses is a versatile writing application with great usage capacities and excellent way of motivating you to keep writing… even when you, say, don't want to because you're stuck on your latest show (yes, you can watch guilt-free — just don't let it get in the way of your latest project.)

    Anything you write in Ulysses can be organized into groups and projects, so that you can make sure nothing you write gets lost or vanishes into oblivion. It also has a simple but elegant interface that has powerful features hidden around if you want to use them. Many of the features strike me as intuitive or elegant, never cumbersome.

    I have never had any trouble with organizing documents, wishing that the interface looked cleaner, or losing files. If an elegant but powerful interface, finding something that can motivate you to exit writer's blocks, and having strong export features is important to you — then Ulysses is for you. Few word processors equal both its features and elegant interface at the same time. The application's appearance is integrated well with MacOS. You probably will never feel like it sticks out or looks ugly compared to your built-in applications. Overall, I highly recommend this app.
