Warp

A terminal reimagined for the AI era. If you spend hours in the terminal and want AI built directly into your command line (not as a side panel, but as a core part of the experience), Warp is the most polished attempt at that. It also fixes long-standing terminal annoyances: command output is organized into blocks you can select and copy, input is a proper text editor with cursor movement, and command history search actually works.

Built in Rust, it's fast. The UI renders at 60fps via Metal/GPU. It supports themes, custom keybindings, and Warp Drive (shared team workflows and commands).

The free tier is generous: unlimited AI commands, all core terminal features, and personal Warp Drive. The paid Team plan at $22/user/mo adds team Warp Drive (shared commands and workflows), admin controls, and SSO. Enterprise adds audit logs and advanced security.

The catch: it's not fully open source. The client is source-available (you can read the code) but the license restricts redistribution and commercial use. The AI features require a Warp account and internet connection. If you're philosophically opposed to a terminal that phones home, this isn't for you. Ghostty is a GPU-accelerated open source terminal if you want speed without the AI. Alacritty is the OG Rust terminal. Minimal and fast.
