I have been using Zed for a long time and I love using it. The only thing I wish it had was way to work with my zed agent remotely. Today, I am releasing ZedLink, an open source companion that lets you continue the same Zed Agent conversation from a phone, tablet, or browser.

Your model, tools, project context, permissions, and credentials remain in desktop Zed.

Install

ZedLink is development software and currently requires the maintained Zed fork. It does not work as a Marketplace extension in stock Zed. The browser/PWA and Linux host are the most complete path; native mobile distribution and broader device validation are still in progress.

ZedLink currently requires Linux and the configured Zed source:

git clone https://github.com/tjnull/zedlink.git cd zedlink bash tools/setup_zed_ide.sh 

Then:

1. Launch ZedLink — Patched Zed.
2. Open an Agent conversation and run /remote-control.
3. Start the ZedLink gateway.
4. Pair your phone using the one-time QR code.

Tailscale with MagicDNS and HTTPS is the recommended connection method. Other providers are supported as you can find that in the documentation.

I also submitted Zed PR #65633. It has not been merged, so the maintained Zed fork is currently required.

• Zed Fork: https://github.com/tjnull/zed/tree/zedlink/native-agent-remote-control

The browser/PWA is currently the most complete client. iOS and Android are available as development builds.

As always any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Hopefully this will help you when you are working in zed on the go!
