Warp is a terminal written in Rust available for macOS. Key features include Warp Drive for sharing commands across teams, Warp AI for command suggestions and assistance, and a modern IDE with text selection and cursor positioning.[1][2][3][4]

History

Warp was founded in June 2020 by Zach Lloyd, former Principal Engineer at Google and interim CTO at TIME.[5] Lloyd and an early engineering team decided to develop Warp as a modern version of the command line terminal. Warp was built natively in Rust.[6]

In April 2023, Warp announced Warp AI, which integrated a chatbot into the terminal.[7] In June 2023, Warp introduced Warp Drive for collaboration on the command line, which allowed developers to create and share templated commands with their teams using inbuilt cloud storage.[8][9][10]

In June 2023, Warp announced a $50 million Series B funding round led by Sequoia Capital. Warp previously raised a $17 million Series A led by Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, and a $6 million seed round led by GV with participation from BoxGroup and Neo.[3][11] Notable angel investors include Sam Altman, Marc Benioff, Jeff Weiner, and Elad Gil.[1][12]

In December 2023, Warp began beta testing for its Linux builds[13], with public betas running through January 2024 and distributed through AppImages. Public discussion about their Linux porting efforts can be found on their GitHub discussion #3602.
