Zed application preview

Zed is an open-source code editor built for responsive editing, project navigation, and collaboration. It runs natively on macOS and supports extensions, language tooling, Git workflows, and optional AI assistance.

Open a project folder, edit with language-server feedback and keyboard-driven navigation, then review changes in Git. AI agents and hosted models can be added when they suit a project, while the core editor works without a paid account.

Features

  • Edit code with syntax support, extensions, language servers, and integrated terminal tools.
  • Use collaborative editing and shared project workflows.
  • Inspect Git changes and work with built-in agent and AI features when enabled.
  • Use external agents or personal API keys on the free plan.

Where it fits

Zed suits developers who prioritize editor speed and a modern integrated workflow. Extensions and language support vary by ecosystem, so an existing specialist IDE may still be needed for some platforms.

Privacy and requirements

Local code editing does not require a Zed account. Collaboration, hosted AI, telemetry choices, and external agents each have separate network and data boundaries. Review what project context an agent receives before enabling it.

Pricing

The Personal editor is free. Pro costs $10 per month for hosted AI access and unlimited edit predictions, with usage beyond included credits billed separately.
