If you were a fan of the Ulysses writing app for Mac and iOS, version 2.0 is just around the corner.
Major changes to Ulysses 2.0 for the Mac include the following:
– New name: Ulysses for Mac is now called just that. No more Roman numerals.
– Seamless sync with Ulysses for iPad: That’s right. Ulysses is now also available on iPad. It’s the full monty. And it syncs via iCloud.
– Updated interface: Redesigned almost every aspect based on Yosemite’s fresh new look. Cleaned house in the process.
– Attachment bar: Attachments now have their proper place. Again.
– New home for favs: Favorites have moved to the sidebar. Where they belonged in the first place.
– Status indicators: Sheets show up- and download status, favorite status, attachment status. It’s complicated.
– Dark Mode to the fullest: Why should sidebars have all the fun? We give 5 shades of grey to every element.
– Completely revamped Quick Export and Preview: Now with TXT and ePub preview, better handling and simply the best Ulysses export ever.
– Almost 200 group and filter icons: You wanted more, we give you more.
– Speaking of icons: A new icon! Out with the old, in with the new! The caterpillar evolved into a beautiful butterfly.
– Handoff support: Start on one device, finish on another. In theory and in practice.
– Open Files: You can now drag and drop single text/markdown files onto Ulysses’ (new, shiny) icon and edit these files in place. Just like that.
– Tons of bugfixes. One off the most prominent being spell chek, which no longer automtigically disables itselv.
– Everything should be way snappier than before.
Ulysses 2.0 for Mac requires OS X 10.10 or later to install and run.
