Ulysses

Couldn't agree more on Ulysses. Sometimes, just writing on the default Medium app does the trick, but if I'm choosing a dedicated app, it's definitely Ulysses.

This is a great set up. I've used Final Draft 12 in the past when writing scripts and I highly recommend it! My article line up includes Pages (Mac), Grammarly, and Notion.

Would also add Craft app, recently started using it and I like it! Thanks for the article! 👍
