Some of these grow into articles and projects. Ulysses has become a treasure trove of ideas and thoughts. Checking emails means replying emails, that’s also a content creation task.Īnyway, I digress. When I read books and articles from my RSS feeds, I make notes and write down ideas for articles in my writing app. These tasks require me to do some kind of content creation. I read my RSS feeds, check my emails and read my ebooks on the Mac. Of course, there are several content consumption outlets on the Mac. When I’m on my laptop, I’m in the creation mindset. I keep my content creation to my MacBook Pro. I don’t create content on the phone aside. That’s the conscious and subconscious behaviour when I’m using my phone. I browse social media when I’m on my phone. My phone is for quick content consumption on top of communications. I compartmentalise what I do based on the device I’m on. I have started compartmentalising my device habits by then, so I was writing less on iOS and did not switch to the Ulysses iOS app. The Daedalus app was later discontinued and replaced by the Ulysses iOS app.
#Ulysses vs scrivener mac#
I was writing a lot on my phone then and it was awesome to be able to start writing on iOS and continue on my Mac with the draft automatically synced. I love this feature and I expected in any decent Markdown writing app.Īnother feature I used a lot was the Daedalus iOS app, which was the IOS companion app for the Ulysses Mac app. Ulysses displays rich formatting even though I type in Markdown. I often spend hours in the distraction-free fullscreen mode.
#Ulysses vs scrivener update#
The update form Ulysses II to Ulysses III brought a minimalist UI and writing-focused UX. The Soulmen team did a fantastic job rethinking their app. I started using Ulysses since Ulysses III was released in 2013.
However, I’m a sucker for writing apps and I tried apps such as Scrivener, iAWriter, Marked, Simplenotes and others I can’t recall.
I’ve since switched to BBEdit now that I work in a Mac-only environment.īoth Sublime Text and BBEdit highlight Markdown syntax. I used Sublime Text for that, mainly because it supports cross platform compatibility on the Mac and PC. My preference for Markdown meant I was writing plain text documents saved as. OneNote and Evernote are WYSIWYG editors. I store my notes in Notes app on iOS and macOS. However, due to the stagnation of the app and privacy concerns, I have moved away from it. I was an avid user and proponent of Evernote. Writing appīefore I started writing in Markdown, I used to draft my writing in Microsoft OneNote, and later in Evernote. At the same time, I’m delighted to have found true love in Bear. It is with a heavy heart that I moved on from Ulysses.
