Zed is a native code editor for developers who want AI coding assistance and collaboration in the same desktop app. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with a minimal interface and a focus on responsive editing. Its AI agents can work in parallel on tasks that involve editing files, exploring code, and running tools.

Collaboration goes beyond sharing a screen. Teammates can edit code together, chat, and share their projects inside the editor. That makes it relevant to teams that pair on code or need to examine a project together, as well as developers who want agents working alongside their own edits.

Zed is written in Rust and uses multiple CPU cores and the GPU to keep the editor responsive. The desktop application runs on your machine. Its source code is open source, primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.
