Warp
A modern, Rust-based terminal with AI command search and block-based output.
Self-hosted Proprietary (free tier) terminalproductivity
Pricing
Free tier. Paid plans add team features.
Warp rethinks the terminal around blocks — each command and its output is a discrete, selectable unit — plus AI-assisted command search when you can remember what a command does but not its exact syntax.
Key features
- Command blocks make scrolling back through output sane
- Built-in AI command search and explanations
- Modern text editing (multi-cursor, selection) in the input line
- Fast, GPU-accelerated rendering
Self-hosted vs. cloud
Runs locally like any terminal app; some AI features call out to Warp’s servers, worth knowing if that matters for your environment.
Quick start
# macOS
brew install --cask warp
Alternatives
iTerm2 is the fully open-source, no-cloud-dependency alternative if that AI connectivity is a concern.
