Ikiru is a calm editorial Ghost theme built around guided reading, path-based navigation, and homepage post previews. It helps publications turn a list of posts into a more thoughtful reading experience.

Choose theme preview

Turn posts into guided Paths. Organize articles into guided series, courses, and collections designed to be read in a specific order.

Extended previews, not just excerpts. Decide how much of a post lives on the homepage — a short teaser, a fuller read, or something in between.

One side panel, three modes. Navigation, Paths, and bookmarks are available without leaving the current page.

Is this theme for me?

Best for

✓ Editorial publications
✓ Long-form writing
✓ Guided content
✓ Serial publishing
✓ Membership sites

Not ideal for

✗ Portfolio
✗ Image-led publications
✗ Large magazines
✗ Simple websites

Ikiru is built for publications where reading should feel guided rather than purely chronological. It works especially well for essays, newsletters, courses, serialized writing, independent publications, and member-supported projects that want to organize articles into clear paths.

The homepage can also become part of the reading experience itself. With Ghost Preview cards, selected feed posts can show carefully shaped passages directly on the front page, letting readers feel the tone and depth of an article before opening it. For editorial publications, this turns the homepage into a curated surface for reading, not just a list of links.

Choose Ikiru if you want a calm editorial surface where readers can follow guided paths, preview posts before diving in, and save articles for later — all from one side panel that stays out of the way until it’s needed.
