What's New

v40

## iPad only - We have completely reworked the main menu, mirroring the full structure and functionality of the main menu on Mac. - You can now separately activate the line marker and fixed scrolling. - You can now select themes from the View menu. - The editor now has menus for paragraph- and text-markup (yay!). - You can now copy and paste sheets and groups using the menu (or keyboard shortcuts). ## Improvements (all devices) - Projects, groups, and filters now have a dedicated Edit view, which covers name, icon, and color, while a new Statistics view covers history and… statistics. - We have redesigned the condition editor for filters. - We have reorganized the editor settings, making them much more accessible. - The writing history for groups and projects is now always visible within the statistics view (it previously needed a goal). - Editor search now includes options for "Whole Words" and "Begins with”. - Images in the editor now load faster. - Mathematical equations are now exported as native Word equations (OMML), ensuring full compatibility with Microsoft Word. ## Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue with our ePub exporter when a cover image was set. - Fixed the alphabetical sorting of tags and categories in the WordPress publishing panel. - Fixed certain group or project icons not appearing in the Shortcuts app and within widgets. - Fixed various crashes. If you're happy with the app, please rate it, or even leave a review. This is a great way to support us indie developers. Thanks a lot!

Its pleasant, focused writing experience, combined with effective document management, seamless sync, and flexible export, make Ulysses the first choice for writers of all kinds. ++ Apple Design Award Winner ++ “The app is amazing. An absolute delight to use. Well done.” – David Hewson, Bestselling Author (The Killing) ### A Text Production Powerhouse Ulysses’ markup-based, distraction-free editor lets you focus on your most important task: Write, edit, and write some more. Formatting is kept for later, so you can completely immerse yourself in the text. Ulysses’ uniquely streamlined toolset covers the entire writing process, and its clean and simple interface will boost your productivity. From first to final draft, from prologue to closing chapter – Ulysses keeps you in the flow, so you can get stuff done. ### All Your Texts, All the Time Everything you’ll ever write is stored in Ulysses’ unified library. You can manage projects of all kinds and sizes, be it novels, diaries or study notes – they are always saved, and automatically in sync.

Available for over 20 languages, it analyzes your text and offers informed suggestions for capitalization, punctuation, semantics, redundancy, style and more. ### Create eBooks, DOCX, PDFs and HTML Ulysses’ export is flexible enough to cover any writer’s needs: Transform your text into beautiful PDFs, Word documents or eBooks. Or export HTML code, ready to be used anywhere on the web. You can even choose between a variety of pre-made formatting styles for all kinds of purposes, or create your own and share it with other users. ### Publish to WordPress, Ghost, Substack & More Do you blog?
