The Mac and iOS versions of Ulysses got handy, incremental improvements on Wednesday, and AppleInsider puts virtual pen to paper to test them out.
Ulysses 2.7 is a writing studio, or a writing environment, rather than a straight word processor. Users write in it like they would Pages or Microsoft Word, but Ulysses is focused equally on writing, organizing all writing work, and then preparing it to be read online or in print.
This is software that has earned a following —the new 2.7 updates for iOS and especially for macOS are aimed at pleasing those existing fans. Rather than substantial changes that might draw new users, the updates are about steadily improving what Ulysses already offers.
The most visible development is that Ulysses 2.7 for macOS Sierra now supports the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro. Without taking your fingers off the keyboard users can get the Ulysses version of a table of contents in a document —or what this app refers to as a 'sheet.'
Sheets are a content list compiled from Markdown-style headings, so if you use Markdown, you're happy. If you don't, the button and its equivalent on the app's main window do nothing at all.
Markdown?
Markdown is a markup language with plain text formatting syntax, designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats easily with an assortment of utilities. The syntax is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
If you've used the Slack correspondence tool, you've probably used Markdown.
Ulysses is first and foremost a Markdown editor: it expects you to know and use this format for quickly writing text that will go on web pages. So, the typical HTML codes that are behind every web page are achieved here with just a few keystrokes. If Ulysses has fans then Markdown has evangelists, and they will be pleased with this contents button and more.
This expectation that Markdown will get used extends to the installation of the app: on first running it, you're asked which of various Markdown versions you prefer. There is a note saying that if you don't know what any of this means, just ignore it.
There is some peril to ignoring it, though. Writing in Ulysses without using any Markdown takes some strenuous effort in the Preferences. With the makers acknowledging on screen that Markdown is geeky, it would be good if they also provided a simple Off button for the feature.
As it is, if you are not a Markdown fan then the most useful of the Touch Bar buttons is one that hides everything but your current sheet. That's not the same as full screen, which is also available, but it shunts the Ulysses library of all the other sheets out of the way. The feature is particularly welcome when working with research documents: it's a well-done aid to focusing.
Ulysses 2.7 for macOS Sierra's other visible change is the addition of Safari-style tabs and what they do is good, they just don't yet go quite far enough. If you're not familiar with the feature in Safari, pressing Command-T when you're on a website will open a new tab and take you to it.
In Ulysses, pressing Command-T does much the same: it opens a new tab right alongside your current document and takes you to that new page. Unlike Safari, that new tab is really a view on the same sheet you were reading. You can change that to any other sheet or start a new one, however, and know that the sheet you were reading is still open right where it was. It's one click away.
It would be nice if it were one keystroke away, though: Safari lets you skip through all your tabs with Command-Shift-Right or Left arrow.
When you have two or more tabs open, Ulysses does let you drag out one at a time into new, separate windows. You can't drag them back the way you can in Safari, however: you have to choose the Merge All Windows menu command.
Similarly, when you have multiple windows open, Safari and most Mac apps will let you move between them by pressing Command-` but Ulysses does not.
This is all on the macOS update: the simultaneously released Ulysses 2.7 for iOS is chiefly a bug fix release.
So far this doesn't sound like a rave: the Touch Bar and Tabs are fine and the iPhone/iPad app isn't significantly changed. Plus, the update could be smoother on macOS, as there's no Check for Update button. You can read About Ulysses to see what version you're on, but then you have to go to your Mac's Software Update menu to get any new edition.
However, the macOS additions are big changes given that this is just a small point update from 2.6 to 2.7. Arguably Ulysses didn't need much. The 2.7 version is an update to a very good app —it's just particularly good that both the macOS and iOS versions are being updated in step.
That is not happening with Ulysses's chief rival, Scrivener. After many years of Scrivener being on Mac (and PC) but not iOS, an iOS version came out earlier this year, which is a remarkably good version 1.0 release which hasn't seen or needed even a .1 change in its several months of release. But, now Scrivener fans are waiting for the new macOS update which was expected over the summer.
Both applications give you greater control over your writing than something like Word or Pages, and now both have very good editions for iOS and macOS. The differences between them are even the subject of whole books.
In short, though, if you haven't tried either Ulysses or Scrivener and you write a lot, then you're likely to find either of them useful. Ulysses feels better for lots of short writing; Scrivener for longer-form books. However, examining Scrivener in depth is an exercise for another day.
Ulysses 2.7 for Mac requires OS X 10.10.0 or higher and costs $44.99 on the Mac App Store. Ulysses 2.7 for iPhone and iPad requires iOS 9.0 or higher and costs $24.99 on the App Store.

Scrivener is a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents. While it gives you complete control of the formatting, its focus is on helping you get to the end of that awkward first draft.
Your complete writing studio
Writing a novel, research paper, script or any long-form text involves more than hammering away at the keys until you’re done. Collecting research, ordering fragmented ideas, shuffling index cards in search of that elusive structure-most writing software is fired up only after much of the hard work is done.
Writing a novel, research paper, script or any long-form text involves more than hammering away at the keys until you’re done. Collecting research, ordering fragmented ideas, shuffling index cards in search of that elusive structure-most writing software is fired up only after much of the hard work is done.
Enter Scrivener: a word processor and project management tool that stays with you from that first, unformed idea all the way through to the final draft. Outline and structure your ideas, take notes, view research alongside your writing and compose the constituent pieces of your text in isolation or in context. Scrivener won’t tell you how to write-it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.
Write, structure, revise
Scrivener puts everything you need for structuring, writing and editing long documents at your fingertips. On the left of the window, the “binder” allows you to navigate between the different parts of your manuscript, your notes, and research materials, with ease.

Break your text into pieces as small or large as you want – so you can forget wrestling with one long document. Restructuring your draft is as simple as drag and drop. Select a single document to edit a section of your manuscript in isolation, or use “Scrivenings” mode to work on multiple sections as though they were one: Scrivener makes it easy to switch between focussing on the details and stepping back to get a wider view of your composition.
With access to the full power of the OS X text system, you can add tables, bullet points, images and mark up your text with comments and footnotes. Format as you go using the format bar at the top of the page, or use any font you want for the writing and let Scrivener reformat your manuscript after you’re done – allowing you to concentrate on the words rather than their presentation.
Create order from chaos
Most word processors approach composing a long-form text the same as typing a letter or flyer – they expect you to start on page one and keep typing until you reach the end. Scrivener lets you work in any order you want and gives you tools for planning and restructuring your writing. In Scrivener, you can enter a synopsis for each document on a virtual index card and then stack and shuffle the cards in the corkboard until you find the most effective sequence.

Plan out your work in Scrivener’s outliner and use the synopses you create as prompts while you write. Or just get everything down into a first draft and break it apart later for rearrangement on the outliner or corkboard. Create collections of documents to read and edit related text without affecting its place in the overall draft; label and track connected documents or mark what still needs to be done. Whether you like to plan everything in advance, write first and structure later-or do a bit of both-Scrivener supports the way you work.
Your research-always within reach
No more switching between multiple applications to refer to research files: keep all of your background material-images, PDF files, movies, web pages, sound files-right inside Scrivener. And unlike other programs that only let you view one document at a time, in Scrivener you can split the editor to view research in one pane while composing your text right alongside it in another. Need to refer to multiple research documents? Call up additional material in floating QuickReference panes. Transcribe an interview or conversation, make notes on an image or article, or just refer back to another chapter, all without leaving the document you’re working on.
