Focus Mode (esc-esc or ◎ in the toolbar) folds away all window chrome, dimming surrounding text so you can inhabit the current paragraph without distraction.
Entering & Leaving Focus
Double-tap Escape, press ⌘\, or click ◎. Chrome folds away. The paper becomes Night #211c15. Pins stay attached and stay hidden.
Escape leaves Focus. A Reset pause can appear first: a short Night hold, dismissible by any key or click, off until you enable it in Editor settings.

Active Paragraph Highlighting
In Focus Mode, only the paragraph currently containing your caret is illuminated at full brightness (#f0e6cd). Surrounding paragraphs are softly dimmed (#5f553f), keeping your attention pinned to the sentence being written.
The Session Word Strip
A restrained mono strip at the base of the window displays your quiet session count: '642 words · goal 800 ▓▓▓▓▓▓░░ · esc - leave focus'.
