Ulysses comes with built-in spell-check and auto-correction features. However, these features can sometimes be distracting, especially during the drafting phase. Here’s how to manage auto-correction both within Ulysses and system-wide.

In Ulysses

On Mac

1. Navigate to the menu bar at the top of your screen.
2. Select Edit › Spelling and Grammar.
3. Uncheck Correct Spelling Automatically.

On iOS

1. Go to the editor.
2. Tap on the circled ellipsis in the top right corner.
3. Select Editor Settings.
4. Tap on Substitutions.
5. Turn off Auto-Correction.

This will turn off all automatic spelling corrections within Ulysses. If you’d like more specific control, you can customize these settings at the system level.

System-wide

On Mac

1. Open System Settings.
2. Select Keyboard.
3. Look for the section “Text Input” and click Edit… next to it. Here, you can disable features like Auto-Capitalization and Auto-Correction.

On iOS

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to General › Keyboards. Here, you can disable features like Auto-Capitalization and Auto-Correction.

If you turn off the option “Capitalize Words Automatically” in System Settings, auto-correction will still work in Ulysses if it’s enabled in the app’s settings.
