Pros

The feature that I liked most about Ulysses is its simplicity.

Cons

On the other hand, the thing that I liked least about the product was the lack of features. The single library isn't the best feature either.

Ulysses is a fantastic tool in my writing toolkit, but I limit it to note taking and relatively short-form writing. Writing blog posts and articles? This is your tool!

Pros

Ulysses is great at staying out of your way when you just want to write, with enough features to be useful when you need them. For example, Markdown support is excellent, and the grammar checking is as good as anything short of a generative AI solution.

Cons

I feel that structuring long-form writing can be a challenge. Its big competitor, Scrivener, offers much more powerful outlining features which makes it superior for any writing greater than ~3000 words. Also, I think that Ulysses is missing the boat when it comes to generative AI.

My organisation uses Microsoft 365, which keeps getting better. Compared to Word Ulysses allows me to focus on the task in front of me without having to use the complicated interface and worrying about inconsistent formatting in documents created by multiple users.

Pros

Ulysses allows me to focus on the process of writing/editing without having to worry about a cumbersome interface/formatting inconsistencies of a typical desktop word processor; it seamlessly syncs across all my devices; searching for notes/specific text is super easy

Cons

The iCloud sync works great when it works – but there are situations when it doesn't – such as behind our office firewall. Syncing notes from my iPhone with my Mac becomes a bit of pain then.

Pros

The user interface for one is very simple and very easy to get started.I also like that it's easy to format text with its array of special characters. Also it has a stunning range of organization tools with multiple export options. Overall it is a great tool for content writing which is simple and inspires productivity.

Cons

Someone of my friends do wish it had a one time purchase but for my sake and I think it's selfish. Would really hope it expands to windows as well...

My overall experience is a positive one. Ulysses has galvanized me to write more frequently, making editing a joy rather than a chore.

Pros

Ulysses is extremely easy to use, and it has an appealing interface that inspires one to use the software. Writing on it is seamless, and it has several useful editing features.

Cons

The software interface is almost too basic at first glance. Still, once you get used to all the features by utilizing a quick tutorial, new avenues of writing and editing open up, and the experience becomes more pleasurable.

Ulysses is my primary writing application, and I use it to work on multiple ongoing books, research papers, and articles. The way everything is well managed saves me time and helps me focus on the writing and not the management of my work.

Pros

Ulysses just gets it. It has all the important features a writer would need. It supports Markdown-based formatting and a few advanced options too. Apart from that, it has many important features which any writer would love, e.g., outline, plagiarism check, progress statistics, and many others. It supports export in many formats with many in-build styles and many styles which can be downloaded. Overall it is a set of excellent features packaged into a simple-to-use interface.

Cons

Nothing comes to my mind for my use cases. There is always room for improvement. However, personally, I'm very satisfied with the entire experience.

MS Word is the best software for working with documents. However, that didn't help me manage my multiple projects as a writer.
