A NeoVim plugin written in Lua that provides distraction-free writing via four modes: Ataraxis (zen mode), Minimalist, Narrow, and Focus. It works out of the box and integrates with tmux, kitty, twilight.nvim, and lualine.

Use cases

  • hide UI elements in neovim for focused writing
  • zen mode for neovim
  • narrow a text region to focus on it
  • focus only the current window in neovim
  • unclutter the editor screen while writing prose
  • toggle distraction-free mode in vim

When to choose

  • you write prose or long documents in NeoVim and want a clean screen
  • you want a zen mode with configurable padding and callbacks
  • you use tmux or kitty and want editor-wide distraction-free integration

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than NeoVim
  • you need a full writing app with word counts and export features
  • you want IDE-style distraction-free mode with built-in markdown preview
