In their own words
Warp
Warp is a terminal application for macOS, Windows and Linux, with Warp Terminal and a separate Warp Agent CLI. It provides split panes, session sync, GPU acceleration, a scripting API and SSH support. Agents can be watched, steered or handed off from the web, mobile, terminal or IDE, and connect with Slack, Linear, GitHub, Jira and GitLab. Software factories are defined in factory.yaml with supporting agent files and can run from GitHub, Slack, webhooks or schedules. Factories can also run fully self-hosted inside a customer’s VPC. The Free plan costs nothing and includes core terminal features, with limited cloud agents, Warp Drive, collaboration and conversation storage. Build costs $20 a month billed annually with 1,500 credits; Max costs $200 a month billed annually with 18,000 credits. Business costs $50 a month billed annually for up to 25 seats.
