Zed (text editor)
Open source text and code editing program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zed is an open-source code editor for Linux, macOS, and Windows written using the Rust programming language. It was started by Nathan Sobo, one of the creators of Atom, and is developed by Zed Industries.[2][3] The editor itself is free to use, but users must pay to use some of the AI features.[4]

History
Notable forks
In March 2026, a fork of Zed was released, titled Gram.[10] It was developed by Kristoffer Grönlund, who stated that he created the fork because he did not like Zed's AI coding features, and that he did not want to accept Zed's terms of use. On the day Gram was released, Zed updated its terms of use.[11]
