Devin Desktop is Cognition's agentic IDE — the direct rebrand of Windsurf, the standalone code editor Cognition acquired in July 2025, now positioned as a command center for running Devin and other coding agents inside a full desktop editor. Cognition renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026, folding what was previously a separate brand into its unified Devin product family, which also includes Devin Cloud and Devin Review.
Where it comes from
- Cognition acquired Windsurf's IP, product, trademark, and roughly 210 remaining staff in July 2025, after Windsurf reported $82 million in ARR and 350+ enterprise customers.
- On June 2, 2026, Cognition shipped the "Windsurf is now Devin Desktop" update: the same editor, extensions, keybindings, LSPs, and terminal, unified under the Devin brand.
- The JetBrains integration still ships separately as "Windsurf for JetBrains" and was not renamed.
Core features
- Agent Command Center as the default view: a Kanban-style surface for planning, delegating, reviewing, and shipping work across multiple local and cloud agents at once.
- Spaces, which let related agents share context, files, and a Git worktree so several agents can collaborate on the same task.
- Support for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so third-party agents such as Codex, Claude Agent, or OpenCode can run inside Devin Desktop alongside Devin itself.
- Devin Local, a Rust-rewritten local agent that replaces the old "Cascade" agent and is built for better token efficiency, with subagent support; Cascade kept working only through a short transition window.
- A full code editor underneath the agent layer: syntax highlighting, autocomplete/Supercomplete, debugging, fast codebase-wide context retrieval, and diff review before agent changes ship.
- Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a separate JetBrains plugin and the Devin CLI.
Pricing
Existing Windsurf plans, prices, and settings carried over automatically with the rebrand — nothing changed for current subscribers, including legacy Windsurf Enterprise contracts. Devin Desktop pricing now mirrors Devin's overall plan structure:
- Free — $0/month.
- Pro — $20/month.
- Max — $200/month.
- Teams — $80/month base plus $40/month per full developer seat; a full seat with $40/month of usage is required to unlock Devin Desktop access, and that usage pools across all Devin products.
- Enterprise — custom pricing.
Who it's for
Devin Desktop suits developers and teams who already think in terms of managing multiple AI coding agents rather than writing every line themselves, and who want that agent management built into a full-featured, extension-compatible IDE instead of a thin wrapper around a single model. Existing Windsurf users get a like-for-like upgrade with no migration effort — settings, .windsurfrules, and .windsurf/ configuration continue to work unchanged. Teams standardizing on Cognition's broader agent stack, combining Devin Cloud for autonomous remote tasks with Devin Review for pull-request review, get a consistent local counterpart inside the same editor.
