Ulysses, our favorite pro writing app for Mac, has become an essential part of my workflow. After picking up the Mac and iOS apps, I went all in with Ulysses as my writing app.
One of the best parts about Ulysses is how easy it is to export a document into another format (and there are a lot of formats are built in). I write natively in Markdown, but some of the work I do needs to be copied as HTML or converted back into Word.
Jason Snell, of Six Colors, wrote a helpful summary of many of the new features in the recently announced macOS Sierra. Since the OS is still in beta, some things are bound to change slightly, but this offers a first-hand view into the new features and changes it has to offer. iCloud storage, Siri, and a Photos revamp are just a few of the exciting new features in Sierra.
Along with the macOS Sierra developer builds, we also have access to the iOS 10 developer builds, and Federico Viticci (MacStories) published a synopsis of the new features it contains, as well as those it lacks. Split view in Safari, three-pane views in Notes and Mail, and changes to Spotlight and keyboard shortcuts are great. But, Federico argues that there are some features that make a lot of sense on the iPad, like 3D Touch or more pro apps. Either way, it’s likely to be a great release later this fall.
