About Zed

Zed is a code editor from Zed Industries, a team that includes the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It is written in Rust on its own GPU-accelerated UI framework (GPUI) and focuses on speed and real-time multiplayer collaboration. AI features are optional: users can bring their own API keys from many providers, connect external agents such as Claude Agent or Codex through the Agent Client Protocol, or pay for Zed-hosted models and edit predictions; all AI can be turned off. Zed runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and its source is licensed mainly under GPL-3.0-or-later with some Apache-2.0 parts. The company also builds Delta, a separate multiplayer environment for coding with agents.

Good for

Developers who want a fast, native editor with built-in collaboration, and who prefer to choose their own AI provider or none at all.

Watch out for

There is no web version yet. Business has no free trial, and SSO, SAML and SCIM are listed as planned but not available.
