Warp is a terminal emulator written in Rust available for macOS. Notable features include Warp Drive for sharing commands across teams, Warp AI for command suggestions and assistance, and an 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 (magazine) .[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.
