Write and code in one place
A writing environment built on Zed. You and your agents work on notes, papers, and code in one window, all on your own machine.

- Typst and LaTeX typesettingModern, lightning-fast typesetting with instant preview
Suzuri is Zed with three additions. Nothing you rely on in Zed is taken away.
The Panes
The missing writing environment
The notes, the draft, and the sources open side by side in the same editor — each pane a file type Suzuri understands natively.
Writing
Markdown renders in place and reveals its source when your cursor touches it.
Editable tables · resizable images · paste-to-attach screenshots
Reading
A native PDF pane with continuous scroll, zoom, and real text selection.
Built on hayro · reloads when the file changes on disk
LaTeX
LaTeX in one pane, the compiled PDF in the other, with Tectonic doing the work.
No TeX distribution to install or babysit
Typst
Typst does the same, faster — the PDF updates a second after you stop typing.
Typst installs itself the first time you need it
Your agents work here too: they draft, import, and cite in the same plain files you edit — you verify and publish.
A look inside
What it looks like to work in
One window, one folder of plain files, and a pane for whichever format you are looking through.
Live preview
Markdown renders in place — images, tables, checkboxes, citation chips. The line under your cursor shows its source; everything else stays a document.
Typst and LaTeX, compiled as you write
Write the paper on the left and watch the PDF update on the right, a second after you stop typing. Compilers install themselves the first time you need them.
Agents work where your files are
The same agent panel you know from Zed, now with your notes and papers in reach: it drafts, imports, and cites in the plain files on your disk, and you review the diff.
Get Started
Start writing and coding
Suzuri is early and in active development, built in the open and dogfooded daily. Expect sharp edges.
On macOS, open the DMG and drag Suzuri to Applications. On Windows, SmartScreen shows a warning — choose “More info → Run anyway”. Older builds are on the releases page.
Or build from source
