Warp - The terminal for the 21st century

Warp is a modern Rust-based terminal that’s fast, easy to use, and built for teams.
1) Commands and outputs are grouped like a data notebook
2) Input is a modern code-editor with tab completions
3) Share outputs via links
4) Save and run team commands

There are significant privacy and business model concerns with this product. 1. They send telemetry and who know other data to themselves 2. The source code is not available, so who knows what else is in there 3. The need to make money + closed source + VC investors is not the formula I'd like my terminal to be built on. See this discussion on HackerNews for more details https://news.ycombinator.com/ite...

@fluffypony We appreciate your feedback! Just want to clarify a few things here: 1) By default, none of your command input, output, or keystrokes is sent to our servers. We can only see generic information like whether the user has taken the initial survey or used the AI command search feature. This data is used to help us improve our product. When Warp comes out of beta in the future, telemetry will be 100% opt-in and anonymous, since Warp will be a fully fleshed out product at that time. 2) Our plan is to eventually open-source the Rust client code and related projects, like UI framework. Currently, we have open-sourced some of Warp's extension points, like themes and workflows. https://github.com/warpdotdev/th... https://github.com/warpdotdev/wo... 3) We understand how you feel, but hope that we can change your mind!

@ellenchisa, thank you for hunting us! 👋🏼 Hi Product Hunt community, I’m Zach, founder here at Warp, and I’m excited to launch Warp to the community today. Warp is a modern Rust-based terminal that’s fast, easy to use, and built for teams. Warp’s origin There were a few things running through my mind when I decided to start Warp a couple years ago. - The terminal is used by every developer every day but it hasn’t seen much change in its UI over the past 40 years. - I’ve seen in terminal power users the productivity gains that are unlocked by mastering the CLI. I want to unlock that power for all developers. - I want to bring collaboration to the terminal. My experience as lead engineer on GDocs made me realize that every productivity app is more powerful when it’s collaborative. I’m excited to bring that approach to the terminal as well. Making terminals easy to use Warp reimagines the terminal from the ground up. We’ve made it wicked fast, grouped commands and outputs into a notebook-like UI, added native code editing, and much more. In Warp you get: ✍🏻 An input area that works just like a code editor: selections, cursor positioning and completion menus 📋 Grouped commands and outputs: navigate through your terminal command by command and easily copy, search, and share terminal outputs 🪄 Community-sourced Workflows and Command generation with natural language: find useful commands without leaving the terminal 📜 Visual menus for searching your past commands 🎨 Command-Palette - easily discover and control all terminal actions with the keyboard 🍃 Theme picker: select from popular themes like Solarized out of the box Making terminals work for teams Warp brings a team-first approach to the terminal. In Warp you get: 🔗 The ability to share your outputs with teammates: debug your work without pasting long unformatted code into Slack 📁 Project Workflows: save hard-to-remember commands into your project so your teammates can run them from Warp And we are building more team features, like the ability to run team READMEs in the terminal, and real-time sharing of terminal sessions for joint debugging and firefighting. — Finally, all of this is built with speed and compatibility in mind – Warp is built in Rust with GPU-accelerated graphics, and works with existing shells like zsh, fish and bash. I’m excited to hear what you think and what else you’d like to see in Warp. Join our Discord warp.dev/discord or follow us on Twitter here https://twitter.com/warpdotdev

Been using Warp for the last couple of months. Let me tell you: you won't find a terminal better than Warp, and believe me, I used and tested many of them (native macOS Terminal, iTerm2, Hyper 3, Kitty, etc...) Warp is blazingly fast 🚀 (thanks to Rust), highly customizable and comes with some super powers you won't find in other terminals (beautiful command history, code completion, command palette to run commands with a simple keystroke, A.I. command completion, and many many more features). I won't be surprised if developers use this as their default terminal in the future. Thank you Warp team for this fantastic product. 🙏
Michelle Lim
Thank you for such kind words, @bionik6! We are glad that you've enjoyed Warp, and will continue iterating until Warp can be people's default terminal.
Laurentiu Ciobanu
This looks amazing! Can't wait for the Linux version!
Alexandru Ifrim
@laurentiu_ciobanu same... saw the demo and wen't directly to download it.
Michelle Lim
@laurentiu_ciobanu @aifrim Thank you, both! We are looking forward to targeting Linux.
Alexandru Ifrim
@michelle_lim1 or windows. Whichever is first 👏
Elliot Klein
Everyone I know who uses Warp loves it — can't wait for the Linux version!
Zach Lloyd
@elliot_klein Thanks Elliot - it's our top github issue if you want to follow along: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Wa...

Warp is wicked good. I use it every day personally and during my day job as an engineer. Several of my colleagues have since converted. I've used iTerm for years. I briefly used Hyper (a web-based terminal) but web-tech just sucks for high performance tools. I see Warp as the ideal companion to VSCode, which I hope I'll be able to replace with the new, Rust-based editor Zed at some point. I often find myself encountering a new Warp feature and thinking "OF COURSE!" As in -- of course it should have been this way years ago! My favorite features of Warp: - Intelligent autocomplete (git branches, command history) - A cursor that behaves as you expect it to... like a text editor - Easier/smarter ctrl + r history search - Fast and not buggy
Michelle Lim
@zachcaceres Thank you for the thoughtful review, Zach! And for all your feedback early on!
MystPi
I can't wait for the Windows release; keep up the good work!
Zach Lloyd
@mystpi Thanks! Windows support is our second highest github issue - feel free to follow along here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Wa...
Ayushi Sinha
Love this! Would have made my college CS classes more bearable 😂
Michelle Lim
Thank you, @ayushi_sinha4! I relate to that. Sometimes, I even felt that the terminal was harder to learn than coding. We hope that Warp unlocks the power of CLIs for students and professional developers alike.
Ike Victor
Is there a way to limit the telemetry being sent?
Michelle Lim
@naijamoto Not now, but we are planning to make telemetry opt-in and anonymous once Warp is Generally Available. For the beta phase, telemetry helps us improve the product—fixing crashes, measuring how well experimental features are doing, etc. We hope you can try us out when we're generally available!
Ike Victor
@michelle_lim1 will do. To hardcore devs, this could be a non-starter but I'm excited to follow the continued development and I'll definitely be giving the gen release a try!
Basharath
This looks amazing. Congrats on the launch. Only for mac, not for other platforms?
Michelle Lim
Thank you, @basharath. We are planning to target the other platforms in this order: Web, Linux, and then Windows. The benefit of building in Rust is that it has extensive cross-platform support, so it will be relatively easy to to build for the other platforms. For now, we picked one platform first so we can focus on building the right product experience.
Basharath
@michelle_lim1 Nice, good to hear this. Looking forward to it.
Dennis A.M.
highly recommend! it's exactly what's been missing in my terminal and my go to choice any day. fast, great ui and incredibly useful! makes it super easy to share outputs and navigate through files / folders
Kevin Yang
@aletna Thank you for your kind words Dennis!
Have been using Warp for a few months as my daily driver and it's great. Hella fast, and I find myself copying inputs/outputs all the time
Cristina Bunea
Congrats on the launch, team! Can't wait to see where this will go. What are you most excited about at Warp right now?
Michelle Lim
Thank you, @cristinaibunea! For me personally, I'm most excited to imagine and built a multi-player terminal. It's impactful: from users, it seems like there are huge pain points in asynchronous knowledge-sharing workflows today, and I'm excited to help fix them. It's particularly exciting too since this is uncharted territory: no one has built a team experience into the inherently single-user terminal experience before.
Marcus Orciuch
Looks amazing, but I wish I could use it in vscode
Michelle Lim
@maorciuch thank you. That makes sense: a lot of users only use one window for development. We might be able to build that once we build the web (wasm) version of warp. If you're interested, you can subscribe here to be notified when we built that: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Wa...
Zach C
@maorciuch @michelle_lim1 I used to think I wanted it in VSCode. But actually I don't. I like the 1 window solution Michelle suggests. Warp is more powerful than a typical terminal and so having it embedded in VSCode makes it harder to use all the benefits and features. With Warp, both the terminal and VSCode become first class citizens in my toolchain.
Steven Tey
Just tried out Warp and holy moly I'm blown away. It's like Fig multiplied by x100000 🤯
Kevin Yang
@steventey Thank you so much Steven!
Carlos Diaz-Padron
Congrats on the launch! Very cool
Michelle Lim
@_carlosdp_ Thank you for your early feedback and support!
Muhammad Usman Ali Baloch
Hey, just downloaded it and already loving it. <3 keep up the good work.
Michelle Lim
@muhmmad_usman thank you! glad you're loving it!
Kevin Reevers
It's everything I didn't know I wanted in a terminal. Clean, efficient, and smart.
Greg Ratner
I've been using Warp for a number of months now, and I am not going back to any other terminal product. The amount of delight and improvement of user experience out of the box, without any special configuration or setup, is HUGE! Just out of the box, you become significantly more productive by switching to Warp from your regular terminal. I can see this being the future of the modern development stack.
Musharof Chowdhury
Full-time user of Fig, Wrap looks promising. Gonna give a try soon, congrats on the launch 🥳
