Zed

Zed is a high-performance, open-source code editor specifically engineered for macOS, leveraging the power of Rust and GPU acceleration to deliver an exceptionally fluid and responsive coding experience. Developed by some of the creators behind the influential Atom editor, Zed distinguishes itself with a strong emphasis on speed, a minimalist design, and an innovative approach to real-time collaborative editing. It integrates AI assistance directly into the workflow, providing intelligent code completions, refactoring suggestions, and conversational assistance without disrupting focus. Beyond individual coding, Zed facilitates seamless team collaboration with shared projects, chat, and screen-sharing functionalities. Its design prioritizes efficiency, aiming to reduce resource consumption that often plagues other modern editors, making it an ideal choice for developers who value performance and a distraction-free environment. While currently most mature on macOS, Zed is actively expanding its platform support.
