Zen UI

Less clutter, more Zen. Make Obsidian as minimal as you want.

Features

• Less chrome — hide sidebars, toolbars, padding, and other distractions with simple toggles in settings
• Git sync — check status, pull, push, and sync from a dedicated sidebar tab (requires Git)
• Daily notes — open today's note right from the sidebar
• Sidebar tabs — customize the default tabs
• More breathing room — adjust file-explorer spacing and scroll offset
• Zen mode — run zenmode toggle to go fullscreen and hide everything but what matters

Install

Community plugins: Search for Zen UI in Obsidian.

Manual: Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release and place them in <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/zen-ui/.

BRAT: Add merlinkraemer/obsidian-zen.

Disclosures

• The sync tab reads status, branch, and the last commit through the Git plugin. Zen UI never runs Git or shell commands itself and makes no network requests.
• Pull, push, commit, and fetch are handled by the Git plugin. Zen UI never writes to your repository directly.
