Zed

Zed is a fast, open-source code editor with real-time collaboration and optional AI features. You can use it as a plain editor and turn AI on only when you want it.

Zed is a native code editor where several people can work in the same project at the same time. AI is optional, so you can use the editor without it or enable agent features when you need them. The code is public on GitHub, and the team builds Zed on GPUI, its own UI framework.

• Collaborate with teammates in the same project
• AI features that can be left off
• Open source code on GitHub
• Built on GPUI, Zed's own UI framework
• Runs on Mac and Linux

Developers who want a quick editor and people who pair program remotely. It also suits teams that want an open-source editor with the option to add AI later.

Zed is open source, and AI is stated to be optional. The text available for this listing does not list paid plans, so check the official site for current terms. Like any editor, it works best once you set up your own keymaps and extensions. Test it on a real project before you move a team over.
