The fork shipped renamed binary/bundle but the product name "Zed" was still
shown everywhere in the UI. Rename the display name to "Joule" (tagline
"Energy-metered agentic coding") while preserving every load-bearing reference.
Display renames (105 .rs files): release_channel display_name, welcome +
onboarding + ai_onboarding, macOS app menu (About/Hide/Quit), window titles,
About panel, settings UI, notifications, update/collab messages, system specs.
Bundle display name (crates/zed/Cargo.toml) -> "Joule" so CFBundleName / the
menu-bar name and the .app are "Joule" (identifier science.transaction.AgentJoule
and the agent-joule binary are unchanged).
Docs (223 .md): product prose Zed -> Joule, fence-aware (code blocks untouched).
Embedded assets (12 JSONC): // comments only.
Legal (4 files): product -> Joule, entity "Zed Industries, Inc." -> "Transaction
Science, Inc.", domain zed.dev -> openie.dev. NOTE: these are structurally Zed's
inherited terms and need a real legal review, not just a rename.
Deliberately PRESERVED (renaming would break the app): font aliases ("Zed Plex
Sans"/".ZedMono" in text_system + assets), HTTP header names (X-Zed-Predict-*),
zed:: action ids, app/bundle identifiers (dev.zed.Zed*, Zed-Editor-* product ids),
zed.dev URLs, ZED_* env vars, crate/package names, "Zed Industries" in non-legal
attribution, and the {zed,Zed} config-dir glob.
Signed + notarized + stapled as Joule.app, installed to /Applications, verified
(Gatekeeper: Notarized Developer ID, FH93XC2VRR). Caveat: test-code string
literals were renamed too, so some `cargo test` assertions may need updating.

Joule Server
This crate is what we run at https://collab.zed.dev.
It contains our back-end logic for collaboration, to which we connect from the Zed client via a websocket after authenticating via https://zed.dev, which is a separate repo running on Vercel.
Local Development
Database setup
Before you can run the collab server locally, you'll need to set up a zed Postgres database. Follow the steps sequentially:
- Ensure you have postgres installed. If not, install with
brew install postgresql@15. - Follow the steps on Brew's formula and verify your
$PATHcontains/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin. - If you hadn't done it before, create the
postgresuser withcreateuser -s postgres. - You are now ready to run the
bootstrapscript:
script/bootstrap
This script will set up the zed Postgres database, and populate it with some users. It requires internet access, because it fetches some users from the GitHub API.
The script will create several admin users, who you'll sign in as by default when developing locally. The GitHub logins for the default users are specified in the seed.default.json file.
To use a different set of admin users, create crates/collab/seed.json.
{
"admins": ["yourgithubhere"],
"channels": ["zed"]
}
Testing collaborative features locally
In one terminal, run Joule's collaboration server and the livekit dev server:
foreman start
In a second terminal, run two or more instances of Joule.
script/zed-local -2
This script starts one to four instances of Joule, depending on the -2, -3 or -4 flags. Each instance will be connected to the local collab server, signed in as a different user from seed.json or seed.default.json.
Deployment
We run two instances of collab:
- Staging (https://staging-collab.zed.dev)
- Production (https://collab.zed.dev)
Both of these run on the Kubernetes cluster hosted in Digital Ocean.
Deployment is triggered by pushing to the collab-staging (or collab-production) tag in GitHub. The best way to do this is:
./script/deploy-collab staging./script/deploy-collab production
You can tell what is currently deployed with ./script/what-is-deployed.
