The Ulysses alternative for writers who own their words
Ulysses is a gorgeous library. It's also $40/yr and a proprietary sheet format. Enfoca is the one-time alternative that keeps your work in .md files anyone can read.
Where Ulysses falls short
Ulysses in 2026
- $39.99/year with no one-time option
- Proprietary sheet format locks migrations
- Library paradigm feels overwrought for a folder of notes
What Enfoca does differently
- $12.99 one-time — two years of Ulysses pays for Enfoca forever
- Plain .md files, no proprietary sheets
- Open a folder, see your work. That's the paradigm.
The thing Ulysses can't do
Ulysses is a cathedral built around your writing. Enfoca is a clean desk — everything in the folder you already use, rendered beautifully.
Coming from Ulysses?
Enfoca reads any folder of .md files. Open your existing directory and keep working — no import, no migration.
