High-performance, collaborative code editor built on Rust
Zed delivers a fast, multiplayer code editor for macOS and Linux, leveraging Rust and Tree‑sitter for responsive editing and real‑time collaboration.

Zed is a high‑performance code editor that enables real‑time, multiplayer editing. Built in Rust and powered by Tree‑sitter, it delivers low‑latency typing, precise syntax highlighting, and smooth UI responsiveness.
The editor targets developers and teams working on macOS or Linux who need instant collaboration without leaving their native environment. Its architecture suits projects that value speed, safety, and modern language tooling, and it integrates well with AI‑assisted coding workflows. Its plugin system leverages Tree‑sitter grammars to provide accurate language features out of the box.
Download Zed directly from the website or install it via your system’s package manager on macOS or Linux. After installation, you can open a workspace, invite collaborators, and begin editing together. While Windows and web versions are tracked for future release, the current builds focus on delivering a polished experience on supported platforms.
When teams consider Zed, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Pair programming across remote locations
Developers edit the same file simultaneously, seeing each other's cursor and changes instantly, reducing context‑switching.
Live code review sessions
Team members walk through code together, comment in real time, and make edits without leaving the editor.
Large codebase navigation with AI assistance
Fast rendering of syntax trees enables AI suggestions to appear without lag, improving productivity on complex projects.
On‑premise collaborative workshops
Instructors launch a shared workspace for students, allowing hands‑on coding exercises with immediate feedback.
Official binaries are available for macOS and Linux. Windows and web builds are tracked for future release.
Download the installer from zed.dev or use your system’s package manager (e.g., Homebrew on macOS, apt on Linux).
Open a workspace, share the generated collaboration link with teammates, and they can join instantly.
It uses cargo‑about to verify third‑party licenses. Contributors must ensure their crates specify appropriate SPDX identifiers.
