iCloud vs On My Mac

In “Overview”, it states:

if you have iCloud set up and enabled, Ulysses will store everything on Apple’s super-modern mega-clusters

Well, we lied. It’s completely up to you where things get stored, and you can freely move your texts from the cloud to local storage only and vice versa. As long as both options are enabled in preferences, that is:

Obviously, everything stored in “On My Mac” will no longer be available on all the other Macs you own and use, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, is it?

Integrating Daedalus Touch

If you own Daedalus Touch for iOS (and, frankly, you should), now is a good time to enable iCloud on your devices. We have natively integrated Daedalus into Ulysses’ sidebar, so there’s no setup necessary, no linking, nothing.

Daedalus’ stacks will show up as groups, and you can use most of Ulysses’ advanced features to continue the work you started on the road. Or the coffee shop. Or the beach. The bed. The couch. The Eiffel Tower. Mount Everest. ISS. Kepler 21b. So cool.

External Sources

Last but not least, you can even import and edit classic .txt and .markdown files, and have Ulysses keep them on your disk (i.e. outside Ulysses’ library). As an example, you can point Ulysses to a folder on your Dropbox, and have its contents behave just like native groups and sheets.

Some editor features will be limited (no images, no attachments), but that’s certainly negligible, compared to the alternatives. If we dare say so.

And… that’s… a wrap. You should now know enough to get around, and if you don’t, we have failed miserably.

So without further ado, you’re on your own. Happy editing!
