Warp
The modern terminal reimagined with AI and collaboration
About Warp
Warp is a modern, GPU-accelerated terminal built in Rust that reimagines the command-line experience for developers. Unlike traditional terminals, Warp treats your terminal as an editor with features like cursor positioning, text selection, and multi-line editing that feel natural. Its killer feature is Blocks, which groups each command with its output into a discrete, shareable unit you can copy, search, and bookmark. Warp Drive lets teams share commonly used commands, workflows, and parameterized snippets through a cloud-synced library. The built-in AI assistant (Warp AI) can explain errors, suggest commands, convert natural language to shell commands, and debug failing scripts right in the terminal. Warp includes an IDE-like command palette, completions that understand your shell and installed tools, and notebook mode for step-by-step workflows. It supports themes, custom keybindings, split panes, and integrates with tmux. Available on macOS and Linux with native performance that makes iTerm2 feel sluggish.
