Details

Zed has unveiled the Parallel Agents feature, enabling users to run and coordinate multiple agent threads simultaneously within a single window.

The new Threads Sidebar lets you control each thread's folder/repository access scope and monitor execution status in one place. You can select a different agent for each thread, and apply worktree isolation when needed.

The layout has also changed.

  • The Threads Sidebar and Agent Panel are now placed on the left, while the Project Panel and Git Panel have moved to the right.
  • Existing users can use this arrangement on an opt-in basis.
  • You can readjust docking positions by right-clicking a panel icon or via the Settings Editor.

Zed is offering this feature at 120 fps, and it remains open source. Installing the latest release from the official download page lets you start using it right away.
