The Ulysses App for Mac desktop is a text editor and writing tool for many kinds of writers, from students to fiction authors. Created by a group called The Soulmen GbR, this app is currently listed as the Ulysses III…and it is cool!
To create with this tool, a writer simply types content in the editor interface. These excerpts are then automatically saved in versions as well as to a library. This allows you to then create documents from them in a variety of formats: ePubs for iBooks, PDF, Word, RTF, TXT, and HTML, for example.
Features include many you are used to in your current word processor.
