Our Story

We’re the team behind GitHub’s Atom text editor, and we’re building something new:

Zed is a fully-native desktop code editor focused on high performance, clean design, and seamless collaboration.

We’re in early development, but we’d like to build a small community of developers who care deeply about their tools and are willing to give us feedback.

We started Zed for ourselves—To bring joy back to writing code every day.

Modern text editors have forgotten the core tentants of software – speed and reliability first, features second.

While we are building Zed from the ground up built for collaboration, we are putting in the time to ensure every feature we build is performant and rock solid.

New software tends to overpromise and underdeliver—Our goal with Zed is to start small and impress with a singular focus on developer experience.
