Learn Ulysses: Here are the Details of the New Course Update
The big update to our writing course, Learn Ulysses, is now live.
Learn Ulysses is the premier video course for transforming your writing workflows with the best writing app, Ulysses.
Over 3,500 customers have signed up for Learn Ulysses since it first launched. The course has been featured on sites such as MacStories, MacSparky, and even the folks who actually make the Ulysses app itself.
Capture your ideas and organize your writing with Learn Ulysses
A quick question for you…
When you get an idea or when you want to write something down, where does it go?
For me, ideas, notes, and writing all used to live in different apps.
- Ideas went wherever I happened to jot them down.
- Notes from books I read stayed in the books.
- Articles I was writing were saved to whichever writing app I happened to be using that day (could have been iA Writer, Byword, Simplenote, Bear, or Ulysses).
In short, stuff was everywhere.
I had known about Ulysses for a while, and my impression of it used to be that it was just another minimalist writing app like all the others. Thus, it was just part of the pile of note-taking and writing apps I had at my disposal.
But one day I put everything into Ulysses because I’d seen how someone else was using the app. I discovered new things about how I could organize and structure all my notes, ideas, and writing work, and it was liberating.
Stop losing ideas and time. Ulysses is an app that can help you go from scattered to structured, and from cluttered to organized. I’d love to help you get there.
You deserve to be free to focus on your ideas, your writing, your notes, and your research — not fumbling around, trying to remember which app or folder or even which device has that one thing you were working on the other day.
Ulysses is one of the best writing, researching, note-taking and organizational apps on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
It offers a ton of power and flexibility while maintaining its simplicity and ease of use. Ulysses is not intimidating or difficult to use, but it does have quite a bit going on under the hood that can benefit you.
Our Learn Ulysses course is geared to help you take full advantage of this app in order to get on top of things and be more productive.
“Shawn’s obvious love and mastery of Ulysses comes across clearly, showing not just how to use it, but why you ought to. I spend hours every day writing in the app, and I learned a few things nonetheless. I particularly appreciated the high production quality, and the inclusion of full text transcripts alongside the video tutorials.”
