I’m so used to doing that work with an Apple Pencil that marking up PDFs on a Mac can be frustrating. Most of my reading, annotating, and editing of PDFs happens on the iPad now. Setapp takes care of my Ulysses subscription on macOS, and iOS. I now also use it for posting directly to WordPress, and I couldn’t be happier with how well that works. But as I mentioned in the iPad post, all other project based, long-form writing, and content for this blog is created in Ulysses. Ulysses also makes the charts across both platforms. Ulysses Most of my day to day writing takes place in Ulysses If you do any kind of serious long-form writing, and you’re still using a traditional word processor, I’m sorry but you’re mad. Further to the visual touches, a long list of new features have improved an already powerful piece of software. Now that the interface is so crisp, and clean, it looks every bit the modern Mac app.

This new version is a long way from the early skeuomorphic days. While you can get lightweight versions of some features, there still nothing like Scrivener. I still haven’t found the time to write this up properly, but I did give it a cursory post.

Scrivener 3 Scrivener’s facelift, and feature upgrade improved an already excellent application I thought I might miss the automation of Todoist, but so far I haven’t really, the email to Things feature is enough. I don’t feel like I am double handling tasks. The way Things handles the inbox is better than any other task manager I have used. That I spend very little time in the app itself, is a good indication Things is doing what it’s supposed to. The barometer I use for organisational tools is how much time it takes to manage them. Things 3 Things 3 has everything I need in a task manager. The apps in question are clearly marked with the appropriate links. That is something I’ve written enough about recently, so if you’d like to read more about Setapp, you can do so here.

So here we go again.īefore we begin, if you’re interested a number of the apps on this list come with Setapp. The meat between the iOS device sandwich, is of course the Mac. In part one, I catalogued some of my favourite iPad apps from last year.
