Warp terminal in 2026: features, agents, pricing, privacy
A guide to the Warp terminal from its docs: Blocks, the Warp Agent, running Claude Code in it, the Free, Build and Max plans, and what telemetry it collects.
Terminal
Warp
Open-source terminal with a built-in coding agent that also hosts CLI agents such as Claude Code.
Visit Warp →What it is
Warp is a terminal for macOS, Windows and Linux with a coding agent built in. Commands and their output are grouped into Blocks, the input line behaves like a text editor, and a separate Agent mode holds multi-turn conversations with the Warp Agent, which can use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and open-weight providers. Warp also detects third-party CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode and adds notifications, rich input and code review around them.
The client has been open source under AGPL v3 since the 27 April 2026 release. A Warp account is optional. Warp now sells itself as an "agentic development environment", and its Warp Factories product runs agents in the cloud on separate billing.
This section summarises Warp's own documentation. It is not a hands-on verdict.
