Question 1

What is Warp and how is it different from a regular terminal?

Accepted Answer

Warp is an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) built on top of a modern, GPU-rendered Rust terminal. Unlike iTerm2 or the stock macOS/Windows terminal, Warp adds AI-powered command suggestions, a full coding agent (Oz) that can autonomously build and debug code, collaborative Warp Drive for sharing runbooks and workflows, and a native code editor. It replaces the raw text-stream model with block-based I/O, making it far easier to navigate, copy, and share terminal output.

Question 2

Is Warp free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Warp has a permanent Free tier that includes the full terminal experience, limited AI credits (150/month for the first two months, then 75/month), and up to 4 concurrent cloud agents. Paid plans start at $18/month (Build) for 1,500 AI credits, $180/month (Max) for 18,000 credits, and $45/user/month (Business) for teams with enforced Zero Data Retention and SSO.

Question 3

Does Warp require a login to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Warp requires you to create an account to use the application, even for local terminal usage. This is necessary to sync settings, enable Warp Drive collaboration, and power AI features. It is a noted concern among privacy-focused users, though Warp is SOC 2 certified and enforces Zero Data Retention with all LLM providers.

Question 4

What AI models does Warp support?

Accepted Answer

Warp provides access to frontier models from OpenAI (including GPT-5), Anthropic (Claude Sonnet and Opus), and Google (Gemini Pro). Users on the Build plan and above can also bring their own API keys. Enterprise customers can bring their own custom LLMs. Warp uses a mixed-model approach, auto-routing tasks to the most capable model.

Question 5

What is Warp Drive?

Accepted Answer

Warp Drive is Warp's cloud-based knowledge and collaboration system. It lets developers save parameterized commands as Workflows, create interactive runbooks as Notebooks, store reusable Agent Prompts and project Rules, and sync environment variables. Drive objects are accessible to both local and cloud agents, and can be shared with teammates or made public.

Question 6

What is Oz and how does it relate to Warp?

Accepted Answer

Oz is Warp's orchestration platform for cloud agents, launched in February 2026. While Warp is the terminal interface you interact with directly, Oz is the underlying engine that runs agents — both interactively inside the Warp app and autonomously in the cloud. Oz cloud agents can be triggered by Slack messages, GitHub events, Linear tickets, webhooks, or cron schedules, enabling fully automated software development workflows.

Question 7

Is Warp secure for enterprise use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Warp is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and enforces Zero Data Retention policies with all contracted LLM providers, meaning no customer AI data is retained, stored, or used for model training. Teams on Business and Enterprise plans get automatically enforced ZDR, SAML-based SSO, secret redaction for API keys, and the option to disable telemetry and active AI suggestions.

Question 8

What operating systems does Warp support?

Accepted Answer

Warp supports macOS (10.14+), Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, Arch Linux as .deb, .rpm, .tar.zst, and AppImage), and Windows (10/11 x64 and ARM64). The codebase shares approximately 98% of code across all platforms. It works with Zsh, Bash, fish, PowerShell, WSL, and Git Bash.
