Warp can refer to different things depending on the context.

  • Cloudflare WARP is a VPN service that secures and optimizes internet traffic on mobile devices. It is included as an option with the 1.1.1.1 App for free, and a premium version called WARP+ is available for a low monthly fee. WARP passes your IP address to sites but encrypts it so your ISP/school can't snoop on your traffic. It is not a traditional VPN that masks your connection and IP address, but it is designed to make your internet connection more stable and secure.
  • Warp and weft are the two basic components in weaving to transform thread and yarn into textile. The warp is the set of yarns or other things stretched in place on a loom before the weft is introduced during the weaving process. It is regarded as the foundation of the cloth, while the weft is the thread that is woven over and under the warp threads to create the fabric.
  • Warp is also the name of a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in, designed to help developers build software faster. It features knowledge sharing tools, autocompletions, and a modern text input editor that is more like a modern IDE with selections, cursor positioning, and completion menus. It is optimized for performance and privacy, and never collects input or output data.
