Warp
Open-source terminal turned agentic development environment
Overview
Warp is a Rust-built terminal with block-based output, its own coding agent and support for third-party CLI agents, run by Denver Technologies, Inc. in New York. It has needed no login since November 2024 and published its client under MIT and AGPL v3 in April 2026; Warp Factories runs coding agents in the cloud.

What you can produce with Warp
- A Rust-built terminal with block-based command output on macOS, Linux and Windows
- Warp's own coding agent, plus Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents run inside it
- An open-source client (MIT UI framework, AGPL v3 elsewhere) usable without an account
- The standalone Warp Agent CLI for any terminal
- Cloud coding agents run and audited through Warp Factories
- Warp Drive objects shared and synced across a team
Warp is a genuinely better terminal for many developers, and the two old complaints are settled: no login has been required since November 2024, and the client has been open source under MIT and AGPL v3 since April 2026. The built-in agent and support for Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents make it a reasonable home for agent-heavy work.
Paid plans are straightforward, from $20 a month with $20 of agent usage at API rates, and the cloud product, Warp Factories, is priced separately. Free users lose little; buy a plan only if you will use the agent budget.
What we found
Warp started as a reinvented terminal, written in Rust, that treats each command and its output as a block you can copy, search and share instead of an endless scrollback. It opened a public beta in April 2022, when TechCrunch reported a $23 million raise, and is run from New York by Denver Technologies, Inc., trading as Warp, which founder and chief executive Zach Lloyd leads. Since then it has turned into what it calls an agentic development environment: its own coding agent, the option to run other command-line agents such as Claude Code or Codex inside it, a standalone Warp Agent CLI, and cloud agents.
Two long-standing objections have gone. In November 2024 Warp stopped requiring an account to use the terminal. On 28 April 2026 it published its client on GitHub: the UI framework under MIT, everything else under AGPL v3, with OpenAI named as the repository's founding sponsor. The project uses its own cloud agents to triage issues and draft pull requests in the open.
The cloud side launched as Oz in February 2026, for running many coding agents in sandboxed environments with audit trails, triggered by people, schedules or integrations. Warp now sells this as Warp Factories, priced separately with usage billed on top.
Plans are simple. Free keeps the full terminal and lets you bring your own model keys or pay as you go. Build costs $20 a month, or $18 billed annually, and includes $20 of agent usage at API rates; Max is $200, or $180, with ten times that. Business is $50 per user, or $45 annually, for up to 25 seats with SAML single sign-on. Warp says nearly a million developers use it, a vendor figure.
For developers who just want a fast, free terminal it is now open source and asks for no login. The paid plans make sense for people who will actually spend agent usage.
