Zedless: Zed fork focused on privacy and being local-first

What I really want from Zed is multi window support. Currently, I can’t pop out the agent panel or any other panels to use them on another monitor.

Local-first is nice, but I do use the AI tools, so I’m unlikely to use this fork in the near term. I do like the idea behind this, especially no telemetry and no contributor agreements. I wish them the best of luck.

I did happily use Zed for about year before using any of its AI features, so who knows, maybe I’ll get fed up with AI and switch to this eventually.

Yes same here. I tried it out because of all the discussion about it then saw I couldn’t pop the panel out (or change some really basic settings cursor has had for over a year) then closed and uninstalled it.
