## Description

ZenOverleaf: Distraction-Free LaTeX Editing

Transform Overleaf and TexPage into a focused, distraction-free writing environment. ZenOverleaf adds unobtrusive buttons to your editor toolbar, allowing you to instantly toggle the sidebar, header, and UI clutter to maximize your writing space.

<strong>Key Features:</strong>
* <strong>Private and Reliable:</strong> ZenOverleaf does all the computation and modification within your own computer. It does not collect any personal data and does not link to <em>any</em> other websites and IPs.
* <strong>Git Backup (New feature since v2.0.0):</strong> Support one-side backup to git remote repo (github, gitee, cnb.cool, ...), with the help of <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/03cc24c02cec3bb4e2ff0582da0a09d3c6302aef4682a457ca71c4a54e0d0838/https%3A//github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git" rel="nofollow"><code>isomorphic-git</code></a>, a pure JavaScript reimplementation of git.
* <strong>Maximize Screen Real Estate:</strong> Perfect for laptop users or split-screen workflows where every pixel counts.
  * <strong>Toggle UI Elements:</strong> Individually show or hide the file tree sidebar, the top header bar, and the line-number gutter.
  * <strong>True Fullscreen:</strong> One-click activation of browser-level fullscreen mode for deep work sessions.
  * <strong>Dual Platform Support:</strong> Works seamlessly on both <strong>Overleaf</strong> and <strong>TexPage</strong>.
  * <strong>Native Integration:</strong> The "Zen-class" buttons are styled to match the native toolbar of the editor, ensuring they look like they belong there.

Whether you are drafting a thesis, a research paper, or a resume, ZenOverleaf helps you focus on what matters most: your content.
