Zed

$ BudgetFree · Last reviewed August 2026

Zed is a high-performance, open-source code editor written in Rust with AI assistance built in, including agentic editing and inline completion. The editor itself is free and open source; hosted AI features carry paid plans, and models can also be brought via your own keys or run locally. Its pitch is speed-first editing with collaboration built in, appealing to developers who found existing editors sluggish. As an editor it replaces, rather than plugs into, your current IDE.
