Zedless is a privacy-friendly, local-first fork of the Zed code editor written in Rust. It removes proprietary cloud service dependencies, telemetry, and crash reporting, and lets users configure their own infrastructure providers.

Use cases

• edit code without telemetry or spyware
• use a local-first code editor with no cloud reliance
• self-host editor network services with custom API base URLs
• avoid proprietary cloud services while using a modern editor
• contribute to an editor fork without a CLA

When to choose

• you want Zed's performance but without telemetry or proprietary cloud dependencies
• you prefer bringing your own infrastructure for network-backed features
• privacy and local-first operation are priorities

When to avoid

• you want the actively maintained upstream Zed or the newer zedless repository
• you need a stable, finished product - this fork is work-in-progress
• you rely on Zed's built-in cloud features
