This method of adding links adds an extra step if you’re a hardware keyboard user because you need to take your hands off the keys to add a link, but I think it’s a worthwhile compromise to keep the screen cleaner. Headers get larger, lists automatically indent, and links appear as a box of text that you can double tap to add a URL to. Creating headers and adding links shows live previews of your changes, right in-line. The writing experience in Ulysses for iPad is clean, and optimized for both software and hardware keyboards. There are themes available for changing the app colours, and an excellent Dark Mode that’s more comfortable for nighttime writing sessions. Ulysses is also quite customizable, with options available for the font type, size, and even the margins. This interface feels so much better to me than the more traditional save and open dialogs in other apps like Writer Pro, and it’s lightning fast to jump from one document to another. The sheet view shows a single file so that you can view and edit it.

The files pane shows you all files within the selected folder. The nav bar hosts things like iCloud folders, local folders, and sheets tagged as favourites. Both the Mac and iPad versions have a three-pane interface of Nav bar -> Files -> Sheet. This app is fast, light on its feet, and smooth to navigate.

If you write for the web on a regular basis and prefer to use Markdown for formatting, Ulysses could be your new best friend.įirst off, Ulysses is spry. The devs at The Soulmen have put together a very powerful combo of Mac and iPad apps with a very clean approach to empowering plain text.
