Full Offline Support

Describe the solution you'd like?

Warp is hands-down one of the best terminals I’ve come across. The features and overall experience are amazing, and I really want to make the switch.

That said, there’s one thing stopping me: Warp still requires internet access to function. Even though the login requirement was removed (which I appreciate), it’s still not possible to use the terminal without an active connection.

The problem is that my company’s firewall blocks all outgoing connections, and there’s absolutely no way to make exceptions. This makes it impossible for me to use Warp, and I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation. There are plenty of developers who work in environments where network policies or offline workflows make this a dealbreaker.

Request:
Could you add support for a fully offline mode? This would make Warp accessible to a lot more people, including those of us stuck behind strict firewalls.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes, the problem is that Warp requires an active internet connection to function. My company’s firewall blocks all outgoing connections, so I literally can’t use Warp, even though I want to. This isn’t about privacy concerns; it’s purely a technical limitation that prevents me from adopting Warp. I imagine this affects many developers who work in environments with similar restrictions.

Thanks for this feature request @rogerdowny. Warp currently requires online access to set up even if you skip the login. Once you are in Warp (with a login or not) you can block access to app.warp.dev or shut off your internet and it will function as a normal terminal apart from any of the online features. TLDR: Being logged out != offline.

Why is required online access to setup Warp? What is happening behind the scenes?

[Orgoth]

@dannyneira I installed Warp today and skipped the login via the integrated links, after that nothing happens anymore.
Warp is displayed in the window bar but the window itself is not visible.
Even after several minutes nothing happened, so I closed it and uninstalled it again!

@Orgoth this sounds like it could be an issue with the rendering of Warp, which is known to happen on Linux VMs (sp on VMware hypervisors) or certain linux builds based on your graphics driver. Please see https://docs.warp.dev/help/known-issues#warp-wont-run-or-render-on-linux for some workarounds.
