Converting Ulysses and Scrivener Projects

Hi everyone. I recently moved from Ulysses to Scrivener after being with Ulysses for a few years (Ulysses only works on Mac and I just got a Windows). I had hundreds of files and moving was a big nightmare. I don’t want anyone to have to go through what I did.

I code as a hobby, so…

So I created a windows application with GUI interface that will:

  • Convert Ulysses project files directly to Scrivener Projects and maintain the project layout/folder and file layout
  • Convert Ulysses files to Windows folders/files so you can just see all the files (in RTF format) and folders on your desktop in the same structure they appear in Ulysses.
  • Convert Scrivener projects to Windows folders/files so you can just see all the files (in RTF format) and folders on your desktop in the same structure they appear in Scrivener.

It should carry over all images too, but I would check it to be safe. I don’t have the money to digitally sign the application so Windows might flag it as risky when you try to run it.

Let me know if you run into any issues and I’d be happy to help.

The code is open and available to view on the GitHub link.
