Install

# Try it for one session

# Or install it
pi install npm:pi-glance

Restart Pi or run /reload.

Features

Rounded editor — Pi's editing, history, autocomplete, and keybindings stay the same.
Adaptive status line — Git · Cost · Model speed · Context · Tokens · Model. Folds as the terminal narrows.
Prompt stash — alt+s puts a prompt aside. Press again to restore or swap with current input.
Working animation — a sweep around the editor or along its top edge, with adjustable speed.
22 palettes — separate light and dark choices with live preview.

No runtime dependencies. No telemetry.

Configure

Run /glance for Appearance, Status line, Working, and Input settings. Tab switches sections, arrows adjust, and S saves. Input includes the Stash shortcut.

Notes

Nerd Font icons are enabled by default. For regular fonts, select Plain in /glance → Appearance → Icons.
Git defaults and upgrades use Summary: changed files and tracked + / − lines. Auto fetch updates the upstream every 5 minutes; turn it off under Status line → Git.
Drafts are stored locally per session, survive reloads, and are deleted on restore. --no-session keeps them in memory only.
Pi has one custom-editor slot; the last editor extension loaded wins.
Tested with Pi 0.84.4 and 0.85.1. Requires Node.js 22.19.0 or newer.

Update

pi update npm:pi-glance
