About company
Zed
Zed is open source and built in public by the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter. The editor is written in Rust with GPU acceleration for every frame. When you type or move the cursor, pixels respond instantly. That responsiveness keeps you in flow. Zed is multiplayer by default, allowing developers to work together in the same codebase in real time. Much of our work happens through pair programming, with engineers collaborating directly inside the editor. We ship improvements weekly and work closely with a community that cares deeply about the craft of developer tools.
