What is Warp?

Warp started as a modern terminal and is now an environment for working with coding agents. You can use its built-in agent or run your own command-line agents, such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI, inside it, alongside the terminal features it is known for. The code was recently opened, with OpenAI as founding sponsor of the open-source repository, and the project itself is developed largely by Warp Factory agents that triage issues, write specs and review pull requests in public.

Good fit if

  • You want a terminal designed for agent work, with your choice of agents.
  • You are curious about agent-driven development: the whole process is visible on build.warp.dev.

Look elsewhere if

  • You prefer a plain terminal and a separate agent: OpenCode or Codewhale.
  • You want a code editor rather than a terminal: Zed.

Before you adopt it

Most of Warp is AGPL-3.0; its UI framework crates are MIT. Warp sells hosted agent services such as Warp Factories, which are separate from the open code.
