alpha-nvim is a fast, fully programmable start screen (greeter) plugin for Neovim written in Lua. It provides customizable themes similar to vim-startify and dashboard-nvim, including file icons and configurable buttons.
Use cases
- show a custom start screen when opening neovim with no files
- replace vim-startify or dashboard-nvim with a lua-powered greeter
- display recent files and shortcuts on neovim startup
- build a fully custom neovim dashboard with buttons and icons
- add file icons to the neovim welcome screen
When to choose
- you use Neovim and want a fast, programmable start page
- you want startify or dashboard-nvim style themes with lua customization
- you want a greeter with file icon support
When to avoid
- you use plain Vim rather than Neovim
- you don't want a start screen at all
- you need session management itself (pair it with a session manager plugin)
