Warp

Warp is a modern terminal emulator built in Rust, now open-sourced under AGPL license (April 2026). It combines a terminal with AI-powered command search, block-based output, and an agent-centric coding collaboration platform called Oz. GitHub Repo stars

​
Key Features

  • Block-based output — Commands and their output are grouped into editable blocks, not raw text streams
  • AI command search — Describe what you want in natural language, Warp suggests the right command
  • Command history with context — Search past commands by what they did, not just the raw string
  • Collaborative workflows — Share command blocks and sessions with teammates
  • Oz agent platform — Cloud-based agent orchestration where AI handles coding, planning, and testing while humans focus on direction and review

​
Installation

​
macOS

brew install --cask warp

​
Linux

Download from Warp releases or: 
# From the official site
curl -fsSL https://app.warp.dev/get | sh
Warp is now open-source (AGPL). You can build from source at github.com/warpdotdev/warp. OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the open-source release; the Oz workflow uses GPT-5.5.

Warp vs Traditional Terminals

CollaborationShare blocks, sessionsNo built-in sharing
Agent integrationOz platform (cloud)None
RenderingRust GPU-acceleratedRust (Alacritty/Ghostty) / Swift (iTerm2)
LicenseAGPL (open-source)Various
If you prefer a minimalist, GPU-accelerated terminal without AI features, Ghostty and Alacritty are strong alternatives. Ghostty is also Rust-based and offers fast rendering with a simpler feature set.

​
Oz Agent Platform

Warp’s agent-centric workflow uses Oz — a cloud orchestration platform where:
  1. Agent handles heavy work — coding, planning, testing, running commands
  2. Human focuses on direction — reviewing, validating, steering priorities
  3. Blocks are shared — both agent and human see the same terminal session
This model treats the terminal as a shared workspace rather than a solo tool.

​
Other Terminal Emulators Worth Knowing

  • Ghostty — Rust-based, fast, minimalist. Created by Mitchell Hashimoto (Vagrant/Terraform). Recently announced leaving GitHub due to reliability concerns.
  • Alacritty — Rust-based, GPU-accelerated, minimal config. No AI features.
  • iTerm2 — macOS-native, feature-rich, long-established. Swift-based.
