# Obsidian Focus Lens A distraction-free reading and writing experience for Obsidian. Focus Lens highlights the active paragraph or block you are currently reading/writing and gently fades or blurs the rest of the document. ## Features - **Dynamic focus**: Automatically tracks your scroll position or cursor to keep the active block in focus - **Live Preview & Reading Mode support**: Works with standard text, tables, callouts, and other widgets in both editing and reading views - **Two focus modes**: - **Viewport center**: The focus is always locked to the center of your screen - **Click to focus**: The focus follows the paragraph you click on or navigate to with your keyboard - **Customizable effects**: Choose between a smooth blur effect or a simple opacity dimming for the unfocused text - **Zen Mode**: Toggle a completely distraction-free user interface (hides sidebars and ribbons) with a single command ## Usage - Use the **eye icon** in the left ribbon to quickly toggle the focus overlay on or off - Use the **maximize icon** in the left ribbon to toggle Zen mode - Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl/Cmd + P`) to access: - `Toggle overlay`: Turns the focus effect on/off - `Toggle zen mode`: Hides the Obsidian UI for maximum focus. When active, a floating '×' button appears to easily exit the mode - `Next line/block` & `Previous line/block`: Navigate focus manually (great for "Click to focus" mode) ## Settings - **Enable focus**: Master switch for the plugin - **Focus band (vh)**: Adjusts the height of the clear, focused area in the center - **Focus intensity**: Controls how aggressively the unfocused text fades or blurs - **Focus mode**: Choose between "Viewport center" and "Click to focus" - **Focus effect**: Choose between "Blur surroundings" and "Dim surroundings" (opacity only)
