Zed

/ development
PRICE: FREE / FREEMIUM

Zed is a high-performance code editor created by the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter, engineered from scratch in Rust to be lightning-fast. It combines the speed of a text editor with the power of an IDE. Unlike many modern editors that are essentially web browsers in disguise, Zed runs natively on the GPU, providing a buttery smooth experience that respects your hardware resources.

From a privacy standpoint, Zed allows for local-first development and offers granular control over AI features. While it features powerful collaboration tools based on CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types), it creates direct, end-to-end encrypted connections for peer-to-peer coding sessions. Any AI integration is strictly opt-in, ensuring you don’t inadvertently train a model on your proprietary codebase.
