Zed

Zed is a desktop code editor for developers who want native-speed editing, real-time collaboration, and integrated AI assistance on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Key capabilities include:

• High-performance editing built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering, optimized for opening large files, navigating big codebases, and staying responsive during heavy edits.
• Multiplayer collaboration with sub-second latency, so multiple developers can work in the same project simultaneously with their own cursors, viewports, and undo history.
• Built-in AI tooling including an Agent Panel for chat-based help (code generation and debugging), an Inline Assistant for in-editor transformations, and Edit Prediction that anticipates edits based on user patterns. It supports multiple providers, including Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and local models via Ollama.
• Developer workflow features such as multibuffer and multi-cursor editing, an integrated terminal, native Git integration (diffs, blame, staging, branch work), Vim/Helix modes, project-wide search, outline/symbol navigation, and Language Server Protocol support for languages including TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, Python, Go, plus common formats like HTML/CSS and JSON/YAML/TOML.

Pricing: Free (open-source).

Notable for combining a GPU-rendered, low-latency editor with built-in multiplayer collaboration and AI features, created by the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter and developed in the open on GitHub.
