My writing tool of choice has a big update, in a form of third iteration as a new app. With iCloud syncing and built-in integration with [Daedalus Touch](http://daedalusapp.com), their hugely understated iOS writing app, they seem to have found the sweet spot between simplicity and killer feature sets.

The app uses a single library file (versus projects based file in Ulysses 2), so you would have to [export your old U2 files and import them to U3](http://www.the-soulmen.com/board/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&page=1#pgbottom).

Nik was a boutique software house for over 17 years before being acquired by Google, and [put some of its products to retirement](http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html).
