Warp alternatives in detail

  1. Claude Code

    paidCLI

    Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool for the terminal, IDE (VS Code, JetBrains), and web. It works as an agent rather than autocomplete: it reads your codebase, plans changes, edits files, runs commands, and iterates against test or build feedback. Extensible via MCP servers, slash commands, subagents, and hooks; requires a paid plan.

  2. Codex CLI

    open sourceCLI

    Codex CLI is OpenAI's open-source (Apache-2.0) terminal coding agent: it reads files, edits them on disk, and runs shell commands in an OS-level sandbox with network off by default and, in trusted folders, workspace-scoped writes. Sandbox modes and approval policies control what it can do and when it must ask; sign in with a ChatGPT plan or API key.

  3. Gemini CLI

    open sourceCLI

    Gemini CLI is Google's open-source (Apache-2.0) terminal AI agent for Gemini models, with a 1M-token context window, file and shell tools, Google Search grounding, MCP, and GEMINI.md files. Since June 18, 2026 it no longer serves free or Google AI Pro/Ultra users, who are pointed to Antigravity CLI; paid API keys and enterprise Code Assist still work.

    OpenCode is the most-starred open-source coding agent (~206k GitHub stars by September 2026) — a terminal TUI from Anomaly (formerly SST) that works with 75+ model providers including local ones, loads language servers for code intelligence, runs parallel sessions, and shares them via links. MIT-licensed; bring your own keys or use the optional Zen gateway.

  5. Wave Terminal

    open sourceApache-2.0Terminal

    Wave Terminal is an open-source, cross-platform terminal that puts the CLI, inline file previews, a built-in editor, a web browser, and a context-aware AI assistant in one block-based workspace. Wave AI reads terminal output and files and works with cloud or local models via your own keys. Apache-2.0 licensed for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
