What's New in Ulysses Mobile

October 23, 2026
## iPhone Duo We have prepared Ulysses for iPhone Duo. We fine-tuned all poses and orientations, updated the UI left and right (no pun), and made sure Ulysses looks great on Apple’s latest device. ## Scrollable Markup Bar On iPhone (Duo or not), we have reworked the markup bar to allow for quicker access to frequently used actions. For example: - You can now find links and images on the top level. - The inline menu has been split into strong/emphasis and the lesser used “mark” actions (comment, highlight, annotation, etc.) - Undo and Redo are now available via a simple swipe. - Lists have moved into their own menu. ## Editor Toolbar We have made some significant changes to the editor toolbar: - On iPhone, the editor toolbar now has a “Back” and a prominent “Done” button. This may not please everybody, but it solves a ton of issues (and let's be honest: distraction-free writing on iPhone is an oxymoron anyway…). - On iPad, you will now find Quick Access Buttons for outline, attachments and annotations, whenever outline, attachments or annotations are available. These let you quickly access your outline, attachments or annotations without opening the Dashboard (you may already know this from iPhone). ## Two-Sided Export Preview PDF and DOCX now have options to show a two-sided export preview. This is great for books, obviously, and you can thank the iPhone Duo’s book pose for this (aka “what has the Duo ever done for us”). ## Bugfixes and Improvements - Fixes a crash after accepting the last suggestion in text check. - Fixes a hang during editing while suggestions are shown in the dashboard. - Fixes “Paste From” menu items being always disabled in the main menu (such as “Markdown” or “HTML”). - You can now import projects into the library using drag & drop (from the Files app, for example). 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!
