## What it is
Warp is a Rust-based CLI tool that packages an application directory together with a launcher script into a single self-contained executable binary. It simplifies distribution of apps built with runtimes like Node.js, .NET Core, and Java that normally require shipping many dependency files.

## Use cases
- package a node.js app into a single executable
- distribute a java application as one binary file
- bundle a .net core app with its dependencies into one file
- create self-contained binaries for linux, macos and windows
- ship an app to customers without installing a runtime

## When to choose
- you need to distribute an app built on Node.js, .NET Core, or Java as a single file
- you want a simple cross-platform packer without heavy configuration
- your users should not need to install the underlying runtime separately

## When to avoid
- you need native compilation or ahead-of-time bundling rather than archive-based self-extraction
- you require code signing, installers, or auto-update features
- the project is in maintenance mode and you need actively developed packaging tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: deployment, compression, developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cli, rust
- tags: single-binary, packaging, self-contained-apps, app-bundling, command-line, automation, linux, macos
