Distraction-free focus mode
Clear away panels and notifications until only the sentence remains. One press of F3 brings everything back.

WHY TERMLEAF
Less editor.
Clearer sentences.
Plenty of tools are built for code. Termleaf chooses a narrower purpose: open a plain-text document, write your thoughts, and save. In that moment, only your words remain on screen.
MADE FOR WRITING
Small by design. Complete for writing.
A page made for reading
An 80-column paper width, three line-spacing levels, and non-destructive wrapping keep long paragraphs comfortable.
Big type, language-ready
Optional Korean and Japanese packs extend Galmuri9 pixel type across Hangul, kana, and thousands of CJK glyphs.
Real-recorded typewriter sound
Keystrokes, deletion, and carriage returns shaped from real recordings give every draft a tactile rhythm.
FOUR MOODS
Light for every writing hour.
From bright paper to true black, phosphor green, and an amber terminal glow.
