    Going full Luddite by removing the mode-line and using echo-area (smartly) instead.

    Another modeline option in the "merge with message area" camp: https://github.com/tautologyclub/feebleline

  • awesome-tray

    Hide mode-line, display necessary information at right of minibuffer.

  • InfluxDB

  • doom-modeline

    A fancy and fast mode-line inspired by minimalism design.

    doom-modeline is quite minimal

  • bespoke-modeline

    A simple custom modeline

    bespoke-modeline is a minimal modeline, similar to nano, but with fewer requirements and slightly better project display info, etc.

  • emacs-mini-modeline

    Display emacs mode line in minibuffer

    mini-modeline merges the mode-line into the minibuffer. You can configure what kind of information you want to display on the left or right sides of the minibuffer when it's inactive.

  • centaur-tabs

    Emacs plugin aiming to become an aesthetic, modern looking tabs plugin

    Centaur tabs can signal unsaved buffers and the buffer's major mode (as an icon). You can hide the modeline completely if that's all you need.

  • diminish

    Diminished modes are minor modes with no modeline display

    This post actually reminded me that I had some bad tweaks I was irritated over in my config, diminished not diminishing some string. Done now, here is my modeline, quite happy with it. I used to have an overcrowded mode line, now there are only few things left on purpose (minus Omit mode in Dired being persistent to removal :-)). The only tool I use is dminished.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
