Zeed Browser — AI Browser for Linux

English | 日本語

Zeed is a Chromium-based AI browser that reasons over your tabs, memory, and reading context. Linux-first: while most AI browsers (Comet, Atlas, Dia) ship Mac-first, Zeed ships native Linux builds as its primary platform. Privacy by design — personal data never leaves your device, and AI traffic goes directly from the browser to OpenRouter with your own API key. Your Chrome extensions, bookmarks, and saved passwords carry over.

This repo is the public distribution channel: prebuilt binaries (Releases tab) and packaging sources for Arch Linux (AUR), Debian/Ubuntu (.deb), and Flatpak.

Install

Arch Linux (AUR)

yay -S zeed-bin        # or: paru -S zeed-bin

AUR package: zeed-bin

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

Download zeed-browser_<version>_amd64.deb from the latest release, then:

sudo apt install ./zeed-browser_*_amd64.deb

Flatpak

Flathub submission is in progress. Until then you can build locally from the manifest in flatpak/.

Any distro (tarball)

Download zeed-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.xz from the latest release, extract, and run ./zeed.

macOS (Apple Silicon)

brew install --cask efg-technologies/zeed/zeed

Or download the signed + notarized .dmg from v147.0.7727.55.56, the latest release that includes a macOS build (Linux releases ship more frequently).

What's here

• packaging/aur/ — PKGBUILD + launcher + desktop entry for the zeed-bin AUR package. Source of truth; auto-pushed to AUR on release.
• packaging/deb/ — .deb packaging (control template, maintainer scripts, launcher, desktop entry).
• flatpak/ — Flathub-ready Flatpak manifest + AppStream metadata.
• .github/workflows/publish-aur.yml — CI that updates AUR on every release.
• .github/workflows/publish-deb.yml — CI that builds the .deb and attaches it to the release.
• Releases (tab above) — prebuilt Linux tarballs, .deb packages, and macOS .dmg images.

How a release happens

1. Source lives in the private efg-technologies/zeed-browser repo.
2. Maintainer builds a production binary there and packages a tarball (./packaging/scripts/make-release-tarball.sh).
3. Maintainer runs gh release create vX.Y.Z dist/zeed-*.tar.xz* --repo efg-technologies/zeed-browser-dist.
4. publish-aur.yml here fires → bumps PKGBUILD pkgver + sha256 + pushes to AUR. publish-deb.yml builds the .deb and attaches it to the same release.

No application code lives in this repo. It exists only to host public binary tarballs so that AUR users can curl the download URL without GitHub auth.
