Comparison - Agentic terminal
Winy vs Warp
Warp makes the terminal smarter; Winy puts your agent sessions on a canvas next to your notes and ink.
Warp is a modern terminal for agentic coding on macOS, Linux and Windows, with its own built-in agent and support for third-party CLI agents like Claude Code and Codex.
Winy is a native infinite-canvas notebook for Mac, iPad and iPhone where real agent sessions such as Claude Code and Codex live as cards beside your notes, ink, images and arrows.
The real difference is the surface: Warp organizes agents in terminal tabs, while Winy lays them out on a board you can zoom, draw on and read at a glance.

Questions

Warp's downloads cover macOS, Linux and Windows. Winy runs on iPad and iPhone as well as Mac, with the Mac host running the terminals and the iPad showing them as live cards on the board.
Is Warp free?
Warp has a free plan with core terminal features and pay-as-you-go agent usage. Paid plans start at $20 a month for Build, with Max at $200 and Business at $50 per user.
Can I run Claude Code in Warp?
Yes. Warp auto-detects Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other CLI agents and adds a rich input editor and code review comments, with notifications for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
How is Winy different from Warp for running AI agents?
Warp is a terminal, so agents live in tabs. Winy is a canvas, so each agent is a card you can place next to your notes, draw over, and check at a glance when you zoom out.
