Devin Desktop

About

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. Cognition's FAQ says "Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf" and "Only the name and branding are changing", rolling out on 2 June 2026 as an over-the-air update. The product page headline reads "Manage any agent, locally or in the cloud, from one command center", and the Agent Command Center is the default view. As of November 2026 the Devin pricing page lists Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, Teams at $80 base plus $40 per full dev seat, and custom Enterprise pricing. The windsurf.com address redirects to devin.ai/desktop. It belongs with the agent IDEs on our best AI coding assistant page and our AI coding assistants collection. The older Windsurf listing on our site covers the same product under its former name. What changed on 2 June 2026 • Rename: the FAQ says only the name and branding are changing, and the update arrives as a regular over-the-air update. Plan, pricing, extensions and settings carry over. • Agent Command Center: the announcement says it becomes the default surface for managing local and cloud agents from one board, with Spaces to group sessions, pull requests, files and context. • Devin Local: the announcement says a local agent called Devin Local replaces Cascade as the primary local agent. It describes it as rewritten in Rust, "up to 30% more token efficient", and able to use subagents. The announcement says legacy Cascade remains available "through July 1st". • ACP support: the Agent Client Protocol lets third-party agents such as Codex, Claude Agent and OpenCode, plus in-house agents, run inside Devin Desktop through the same interface as Devin. • Rules and commands: Devin Desktop reads existing Windsurf rules, and .devin/rules/ is preferred and takes precedence. The surf command is replaced by devin-desktop, and surf remains as a legacy alias. • Migration: on first run users can migrate from Windsurf or choose Start fresh, and Windsurf settings are ported automatically. What Devin Desktop does • Agent Command Center: Spaces, a board or list view of sessions, and multi-agent management. • Subagents: Devin coordinates subagents, and each can open its own pull requests. • Local and cloud handoff: sessions can run on your machine or in Devin Cloud with the same context. • Fast Context: locates relevant files and lines for an agent. • Devin Review: built-in diff review. • Fusion: pairs a lead model with a cheaper sidekick model that executes. The page shows Claude Fable 5.1 as lead and SWE-2 High as sidekick as an example, and the changelog for 15 September 2026 says Fusion can activate without Claude Fable 5.1 as lead. • Supercomplete: predicts your next thought, not just your next edit. • Sidebar sections: Agents, New session, Automations, Security, Review, Wiki and Customize, plus a Sessions view. • Integrations and extensions: the page names Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, Notion, Atlassian, Datadog, Sentry, Figma, Vercel and Stripe, and language extensions such as rust-analyzer, Prettier, clangd, Windsurf Pyright and gopls. • Recent releases: the changelog lists version 3.11.228 on 26 October 2026, and entries include MCP protocol revision 2026-07-28 support on 12 October 2026 and sign in with ChatGPT to bill GPT model usage to a ChatGPT plan on 29 September 2026. Pricing (as of November 2026) • Free: $0. A light quota to code with agents, limited model availability, and unlimited inline edits and Tab completions. • Pro: $20 a month. Increased quotas including frontier models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and SpaceXAI, free use of SWE-2, cloud agents (Devin Cloud) and the option to buy extra usage at API rates. • Max: $200 a month. Everything in Pro with significantly higher quotas. • Teams: $80 base plus $40 per full dev seat, supporting up to 200 users, with sharing, centralized billing, an admin analytics dashboard and priority support. The FAQ says a full seat comes with "$40/month of usage" across Devin products and access to Devin Desktop. • Enterprise: custom, adding dedicated account management, SAML or OIDC SSO, centralized admin controls and a dedicated deployment option. • Quotas: the pricing page gives no numeric quotas and says allowances refresh daily and weekly. Devin is not required to use Devin Desktop, and Devin Cloud is a separate SKU. Platforms The product page lists a download for macOS only, at devin.ai/download. The Devin changelog mentions Windows, including WSL distros as remote agent hosts and the Devin CLI on Windows, so check the download page for your system. The Windsurf JetBrains plugin is in maintenance mode, and the FAQ recommends using Devin over ACP instead. Who it suits • Existing Windsurf users, who get the same editor under a new name. • Developers who want to manage several agents, local and cloud, from one board. • Teams already using Cognition's Devin products. Limitations to know • The rename, new default view and replacement of Cascade change the day-to-day interface for long-time Windsurf users. • Numeric usage quotas are not published on the pricing page. • The FAQ says that every release but the latest is considered deprecated, so plan to stay current. FAQs Is Devin Desktop the same as Windsurf? Yes. The FAQ says Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf, built on the same IDE foundation with an Agent Command Center. How much does Devin Desktop cost? As of November 2026 the plans are Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, Teams at $80 plus $40 per full seat, and custom Enterprise pricing. Existing plans and pricing stay the same. What happened to Cascade? The announcement says Devin Local replaces it as the primary local agent, and Cascade remains available through July 1. Does it support other agents? Yes, through the Agent Client Protocol, with Codex, Claude Agent and OpenCode named as examples. Do I need Devin to use it? No. The FAQ says Devin is not required to use Devin Desktop. What we could not verify • Whether the Cascade date of July 1 is in 2026, since the announcement gives "July 1st" without a year. • Windows and Linux download availability, because the product page listed macOS only. • Numeric quotas for each plan. • The meaning of "full seat" limits beyond the Teams description. • Adoption figures on the page, "1M+" users and "4000+" enterprise customers, which are Cognition's own claims. How this listing was put together This listing is based on Cognition's own Devin Desktop page, pricing page, FAQ, announcement post and changelog. Facts verified on 7 November 2026.
