Zed gives programmers a desktop workspace for writing and maintaining code on Windows. Open a project folder, move between files, and work with color-coded code and language-aware tools. It suits tasks such as changing application code, reviewing repository updates, and running project commands without leaving the editor. The layout keeps the current file in view while other tools remain accessible.

Keep coding, repository review, terminal commands, and team edits within the same workspace.

A searchable action menu opens files, settings, and editor commands. The terminal handles scripts and build tasks, while Git controls show file differences and support commits. Developers can adjust themes, typefaces, and keyboard shortcuts. Shared editing displays teammates' changes as they happen, and optional AI tools can help generate, explain, or revise code.

Features:

  • Color code supported programming languages
  • Find files and actions through one menu
  • Run scripts from an editor terminal
  • Inspect Git differences and prepare commits
  • Edit projects together with live changes
  • Generate and revise code with AI tools
Windows 10 or later
