I hope someone will create a lightweight version without AI and code editing stuff. The terminal experience is the best, but I don't have any use for the agentic stuff while having claude code, opencode, codex and plenty other options.

It's good feedback. We've tried to make it so there is a single "turn off all the AI stuff" button (and you can opt into plain old terminal during onboarding as well, with no login, etc). Curious if this does the trick?

  ~And where is it? I am a long time signed in user, so no onboarding for me.~ How would you make money from users like me? edit: nevermind, it was quite discoverable...

  Hey Zach - one thing I'm really missing is the ability for this to be toggled on/off per device - whilst I love it on my personal devices and want to use AI there, I also want to be able to use and log into warp at work without having to toggle it off, as I can't use AI there.

    From other comments in the thread, login is no longer required so you should be able to just not login on your work machine https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp

  the rpm available for download (warp-terminal-0:v0.2026.04.27.15.32.stable_03-1) doesn't seem to work without login. after going through all the setup i got stuck at a prompt asking me to log in with no option to skip it.

can you share more about what makes it so great. this is the first i am hearing about it , so i am curious. i currently use tmux and ghostty for my workflow

  The way it goes beyond just emulating terminal. Multiline input that works like text editor, separated input and output blocks, wrapped shells that keeps the same ux with local and remote shells, the polish.

You could probably few-shot this yourself by pointing at the repo. I'm 95% sure it can be done in a day end-to-end.

This is a pretty good used case for vibecoding. “Claude, take this project and rip out all the obnoxious monetization and vendor lock in.” It just might do the trick. I’ve been to get rid of a fair bit of paid software by just cloning the parts I want with little more than a high-level description. I don’t think the approach of open source as a substitute for a quality program is going to last.

100,000% I loved it when it was JUST good at terminal rendering. Ghostty alternative. Not a crazy bloatware AI play.

I originally got into Warp because they made a terminal where my normal text input keyboard shortcuts work. As they've been scrambling to find a way to monetize and riding the AI train, it feels more bloated than ever and the constant pushing for me to use "agents" and whatnot really put my off using it. Plus with all the privacy concerns I can't with good conscience use it on my work machine. So yes, I'd like a non-tracking, no-AI version of Warp too.
