149 comments and no mention of http://www.ulyssesapp.com/ yet. Although the recent change to a subscription pricing model was off-putting at first, it is reassuring in some ways because it underlines the developer's longterm commitment.

That said, I've recently been using Notion for EVERYTHING at work, and now considering if I could do likewise for my personal notes/essays.

PS. It's funny how the intense competition between 'distraction-free' writing tools has almost become distracting in its own right.



I tried every note-taking and distraction-free writing tool there was - Evernote, iA Writer, ByWord etc.. never stuck with one for more than a few months.

Then I found Ulysses. I love the indexing of all the notes within folders, and the simplicity of the app.

I'm not a huge fan of the painfully slow pace of updates, especially when they're charging a subscription fee. The app is great though.

The problem with Notion is that on iOS it's a web-app, so it feels terrible to use. It white-screens while it reloads whenever you do any navigation, and doesn't support multi-tasking on iPad.
