Zen: A distraction-free code editor based on Zed (codeberg.org)

Zen is simply a fork of Zed for those who are happy to use an IDE free from AI, telemetry, and other cloud-based services. I use it as my daily driver and intend to maintain it so that I can also use it as the base for some non-developer tooling I want to create.

Only tested on Linux for now, though Zed's support for other platforms should be (mostly?) intact.

Thanks!

As for the motivation of the fork, basically two reasons:

  • Even though you can disable AI features and configure the layout, the teasers and some UI elements remain as they try to draw you in.
  • I want to use their UI framework and editor for a different project too, so I want to be able to start that from a trimmed down base anyway.
