Overview
Sleek by default. Yours by design.
Beautiful starting point. Clean layout, organized interface, and subtle animations make Baseline feel effortless from the first install.
Make it yours. With deep Style Settings integration, every detail is yours to shape. Colors, spacing, typography, and beyond.
Built for mobile. Enhanced navigation, refined menus, and comfortable spacing bring the same quality experience to every screen.
Philosophy
Less and more.
Baseline is built on a simple belief: a great theme should work beautifully without touching a single setting, and transform completely when you're ready to explore.
Refined foundation
Clean, modern, and polished from day one. Baseline sets a standard your vault can grow from.
Thoughtful customization
Every option is designed with care. So no matter how far you go, Baseline always looks intentional.
More than a theme
Hover sidebars, compact elements, polished interface... Baseline takes the best ideas from the community and gives them a home. More than a theme, this is a new starting point for everyone to built upon.
Features
Baseline supports all filter and helper classes from Minimal.
