Warp Drive on the web
# Warp Drive on the web ## What is Warp on the web? Warp Drive on the Web lets you view and edit your Warp Drive objects and shared sessions directly in the browser, on any device.  ## How to access Warp on the web Warp's web-based viewing experience can currently be accessed via: * The [`app.warp.dev/app` homepage](https://app.warp.dev/app) * [Drive Object](/knowledge-and-collaboration/warp-drive/#sharing-your-drive-objects) Links * [Session Sharing](/knowledge-and-collaboration/session-sharing/#how-to-allow-access-to-collaborators-in-your-session) Links :::caution You can edit and view web-based objects and sessions as normal. The one exception is executing a command from a workflow or notebook since there is no shell session running on the web. ::: ## Managing your view preferences - web or desktop If the Warp app is installed, links will open on the desktop by default. You can manage whether Warp links open in Warp's desktop app or the browser in multiple ways: :::note The desktop option is only presented if Warp's web service is able to detect the Warp app installed locally. Warp desktop opens localhost port 9277 to accomplish this detection. This is done in a separate process that does not have access to your terminal contents.\ \ If you would like to use Warp locally and do not have it installed, please visit our [installation guide.](/getting-started/quickstart/installation-and-setup/) ::: 1. The first time you follow a link, if Warp is not installed, you will be prompted to download it. You can dismiss the popup to stay on the web.  2. This preference can be changed at any point in **Settings** > **Features** > **General** > **Open links in desktop app** Note that this setting is only available while on the web-based version of Warp.  3.
