Move your settings and mental model into Warp. Pick the tool you're coming from for step-by-step guidance and Warp equivalents.

Warp users come from every kind of terminal, editor, and AI coding tool. This section has a dedicated page for each of the most common sources, with step-by-step migration guidance, notes on what transfers automatically, and a cross-reference for the Warp features that replace what you use today.

Pick the tool you’re switching from:

  • Claude Code - use Claude Code inside Warp, or switch from Claude Code to Warp’s built-in Agent Mode. Covers context, rules, and model setup.
  • Cursor - use Warp alongside Cursor as your agent terminal, or replace Cursor entirely with Warp’s built-in code editor and Agent Mode.
  • Ghostty - translate your Ghostty config to Warp and find equivalents for quick terminal, tabs, and GPU rendering.
  • iTerm2 - use Warp’s built-in iTerm2 importer to transfer themes, fonts, keybindings, and hotkey windows in a few clicks.
  • macOS Terminal - match your Terminal.app setup and discover the split panes, tabs, and Agent Mode features Terminal.app lacks.
  • VS Code terminal - use Warp alongside VS Code for a richer terminal, or replace VS Code entirely with Warp’s built-in code editor.
  • Windows Terminal - map Windows Terminal profiles, PowerShell settings, and color schemes into Warp on Windows.

Warp works well for developers migrating from many other sources. If you’re switching from a tool that isn’t listed above - for example, Alacritty, WezTerm, Kitty, Hyper, or a Linux default like GNOME Terminal or Konsole - drop a note in our Discord community so we can prioritize coverage.
