What the installer does
Windows
- Delivered as an Inno Setup program (.exe) for x64 and ARM64.
- Installs for the current user only, so administrator rights are normally not needed.
- No custom silent switch is declared; winget falls back to its default for this installer type (
/SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART). - Declared install modes: interactive, silent, and silentWithProgress.
- Upgrades install over the existing version.
Mac
- Delivered as a disk image (.dmg) for Intel (x64) and Apple silicon (ARM64).
- Installs the app
Zed.appinto the Applications folder. - Adds the command-line tools
cliandzedwhen installed with Homebrew. - Requires macOS 12 or later.
- The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.
- On uninstall, Homebrew asks the app to quit.
- A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 9 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.
Overview
Zed is a next-generation code editor designed for high-performance collaboration with humans and AI.
- Written from scratch in Rust to efficiently leverage multiple CPU cores and your GPU.
- Integrate upcoming LLMs into your workflow to generate, transform, and analyze code.
- Chat with teammates, write notes together, and share your screen and project. All included.
- Zed now speaks WSL. You can open a Linux distro as a first-class “remote” target, edit projects that live inside it.
- All of Zed’s AI features, including edit predictions and ACP-powered agents, are fully supported on Windows.
- All Zed extensions now work seamlessly on Windows; no special steps, no caveats.
- To run on almost all Windows versions, including VMs, we created a new rendering backend based on DirectX 11.

These are the security vendors’ own labels, shown exactly as VirusTotal reports them. We do not edit or interpret them. A detection does not by itself mean a file is malicious. Read the full report and see our Security and Trust Center.
We host no installers. Every download link goes to its original source. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Zed FAQ
Is Zed safe to download from here?
We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.
On 2026-11-05 we downloaded the latest 4 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 4 of 4 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 4 valid.
VirusTotal: one engine out of 67 flagged Zed-x86_64.exe. A single flag among that many engines is usually a false alarm. We still list it under Detections.
Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Zed’s official website.
Does Zed update itself after I install an old version?
For Windows, we have no information on whether Zed updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in Zed (see Zed’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.
Does Zed cost anything?
No. Zed is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0).
Which versions of Zed are listed here, and how far back?
For Windows, we list 5 versions, from 1.24.4 (2026-10-20) up to 1.27.0, and for Mac, only the current release (1.27.0) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing. This page shows all of the Windows versions.
Where do the download links go?
They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Zed’s official website.
