About Warp

Warp is a terminal written in Rust that rethinks the interface: each command and its output form a block you can copy, share or search, and the input area behaves like a text editor with mouse selection and multi-line editing. Its main focus is now AI: Warp's agents can run commands, edit code and work across files, and the company positions the product as an agentic development environment, with a separate platform for running fleets of coding agents. Other features include completions for hundreds of tools, saved workflows, team sharing of commands and a built-in file editor. Warp runs on macOS, Windows and Linux and has been open-sourced under the AGPL licence. The terminal is free, while paid plans add monthly AI usage credits and team features. Some developers dislike the heavy AI emphasis and the account features, and it differs enough from a classic terminal that some shell setups need adjusting.

Best for: Developers who want AI agents and an editor-like command line in one terminal.
