Ratings and reviews

My review continues… at this point my dependency on Ulysses rivals my dependency on Oxygen. BUT PLEASE MORE COLOURS. The Icons are not enough!!! I love Ulysses with all my heart! Same review, just a call out to the developers. I have so many folders and key words, is it not possible to have more colours for organization? Please!! Ulysses is indispensable for me. It makes me ease into my writing because my mind has less obstacles to break a thought. I write better with Ulysses for this very reason. Also shout out to whoever thought of projects. AMAZING X A MILLION. A beautiful app is now even more beautiful.

Love it!

Excellent simple, distraction-free markdown editor for writers and any who just need to *focus* on their writing. Cannot recommend enough!

worst update ever. break down a lot useful old feature. I miss the function, that window and full screen mode own different theme and font size.

Ulysses is such an elegant markdown editor and project manager. I’ve used it for my last 4 books, and I can’t imagine writing without it.

Nach so vielen Jahren kann Ulysses noch nicht einmal Text verarbeiten – Text, der von rechts nach links geschrieben wird, wie Hebräisch, Aramäisch oder andere linksläufige Sprachen. Die freundliche Anfrage liegt dem Entwickler seit etlichen Jahren vor, doch er reagiert nicht. Andere Entwickler haben gezeigt, dass das innerhalb kürzester Zeit umsetzbar ist. Peinlich für Ulysses, das ansonsten gute Ideen enthält. Leider unbrauchbar für Geisteswissenschaftler, Archäologen, Theologen und andere, die in mehr als den elf unterstützten Sprachen schreiben möchten.

C'est une application très prometteuse

It’s mock-markdown. It makes its own opinionated assumptions about markdown, which makes the export half-broken, pasting doesn’t work properly when pasting markdown from outside (it makes strange formatting and escaping assumptions), export introduces artifacts you can’t see in the editor (extra spaces, extra lines) and in general it causes users to have to do much more cleanup when pasting the written content into a proper markdown publishing flow like Planet or some other MD-first CMS. It’s great for everything other than markdown, but I would not call it a markdown editor.

it’s very easy to use, highly recommended

Easy to use, no distractions, writing experience!

Lo usavo da anni, nella versione dell’App store, e recentemente con l’abbonamento sono passato alla versione Setapp. Che dire? È perfetto. Anche se è semplicissimo da usare, c’è sempre qualche nuova funzionalità da scoprire. Permette di gestire anche documenti Markdown su una propria cartella, non si è obbligati come in altri software ad usare un formato proprietario o un database. Io lo uso principalmente per scrittura creativa, per articoli o appunti tecnici preferisco altri strumenti, ma nulla vieta di usarlo come strumento tuttofare.

Ulysses is a wonderful and intuitive writing app. I would love to see more cross-application editing capability while keeping all the great features it already offers

Love it, just what I needed

No support for .mdx

I love this App and it use it often when I am writing

Works great

Great app. Long history of meaningful updates, not just filler features. Beautiful to use.

8 Oct, 2025 - Thank you for your response. Unfortunately to try the beta I have to Install it outside of Setapp This could scramble things when all is said and done, and I'd rather not do it. Hopefully it will be resolved shortly. Every year at the same time of the year, companies know that Apple updates. their operating system and they know long in advance what it will be. Why it takes so long When all of the main elements are known is a bit beyond me, I very much appreciate companies who take this into account Perhaps you could begin now for next year's release, so it will come out on time. — Has not been updated to OS 26 on any system. That said this is a phenomenal program and I would give it five out of five stars overall.

I really like it!

beautiful note app
