About Warp
Warp is attempting something ambitious: reimagining the terminal for the modern developer. Built from scratch in Rust, it treats the terminal as an IDE component rather than a 40-year-old artifact.
The most noticeable change is blocks. Each command and its output is visually grouped, making it easy to scroll through history and understand what happened when. You can share specific blocks with teammates, copy outputs cleanly, and collapse sections you don't need.
Input editing works like a proper text editor. You get multi-line editing, syntax highlighting, and completion that actually helps. The AI command search lets you describe what you want in natural language—"find files modified today" or "show disk space"—and Warp suggests the command. For developers who don't have every flag memorized, this is genuinely useful.
Collaboration features set Warp apart. You can share sessions with teammates, create team workflows that everyone can access, and even run commands together. For onboarding new developers or debugging together, this changes how terminal work happens.
Performance is excellent. The Rust foundation means Warp handles long outputs, lots of tabs, and heavy usage without becoming sluggish. It integrates with your existing shell configuration—zsh, bash, fish—and honors your aliases and functions.
The main considerations are the account requirement (some developers prefer fully local tools) and that it's Mac and Linux only (Windows support is planned). But for developers willing to try something new, Warp delivers meaningful productivity improvements.
