Most text editors out there are made for programmers, for business texts or for personal letters. If you’re a creative writer, the words and the order of those words is much more important than the style of them or on which line they are. While it’s possible to use any text editor out there to write a book with hundreds of pages, it definitely isn’t an optimal solution as it completely ignores the process of creative writing.
The text editor Ulysses tries to fill that gap with a text editor that removed all style elements from your view and added other structural features to help you along your creative process:
The concept of single documents in the classical sense is dismissed. Text elements take their part and are organized in a project, the container.
Every text element has two editing levels: the “standard” text and a “note pad”.
The ability to format texts in an optical way (bold faced, italics, etc.) is omitted - you can divide paragraphs into levels and set markers instead.
Have a look at the features page and the screenshots to get a better idea how the app could help you write your texts and if that got your interest, the app can be tested for 30 days, just don’t forget to register or you can’t save documents, something you have to do to test certain features.
