Internet

Hi @jaunty schooner. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, Warp can access the internet. In fact, an active internet connection is required for the initial setup when you first open Warp. After this initial setup, Warp’s core terminal features will work offline, but certain features—such as Warp AI, Warp Drive, session sharing, and other cloud-based collaboration tools—require an internet connection to function. There is currently no explicit "offline mode" that allows you to bypass the initial online setup, and full offline support (including setup and usage without any internet connection) is a frequently requested feature but is not yet available. There is no official ETA for when full offline support might be added to Warp. For now, internet access is necessary at least for the first launch and for using cloud-powered features Using Warp Offline Full Offline Support Issue.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
