About Zed Editor
Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor built from scratch in Rust by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It is designed to be extremely fast — using the GPU for rendering, it starts in milliseconds and keeps latency near-zero even on large codebases.
Unlike Electron-based editors, Zed uses a custom GPU-accelerated UI framework (GPUI), making it feel snappier than almost anything else available. The editor has built-in collaboration features — multiple developers can edit the same file simultaneously with CRDTs, similar to Google Docs but for code.
Zed also integrates AI directly (via Claude and open models), supports Language Server Protocol (LSP), Tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and has Vim mode built in. Its minimal interface keeps focus on the code.
Currently macOS-first (Linux support in progress), Zed is rapidly gaining a reputation as the editor for developers who care about raw performance and clean design.
