Zedium

A telemetry-free, cloud-free, fully open-source fork of Zed.

Not affiliated with Zed Industries. Zedium is a derivative work of Zed and shares its AGPL-3.0 license.

What's removed

• All telemetry, metrics, and crash/error reporting
• Zed-Industries-hosted services (collab, sign-in, LLM proxy, extension registry network calls)
• Auto-update (replace the binary to update)
• Direct hardcoded LLM provider integrations (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock, Copilot, …)

What's kept

• The full Zed editor experience
• Local + arbitrary OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints (works with Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, LM Studio, …)
• Edit prediction (Zeta) against a user-configured local endpoint — see docs/EDIT_PREDICTION.md
• A static snapshot of the Zed extension registry, bundled with each release

Building from source

just init        # one-time: submodule init + apply patches
just build       # cargo build
just run         # cargo run

See docs/INSTALL.md for prebuilt binaries (when available) and platform notes.

Development

just apply       # reset zed/ to baseline + apply patches/ as commits
just verify      # static checks: forbidden strings + banned crates
just export      # re-export commits in zed/ back to patches/

See docs/PLAN.md for the full fork plan and docs/DISCOVERY.md for the cloud-surface inventory.
