AI code editor and agent manager

Devin Desktop

by Cognition Last reviewed September 2026

Devin Desktop is Cognition's AI code editor, renamed from Windsurf on June 2, 2026. Existing Windsurf installs updated in place with plans, extensions, and settings intact. The full IDE is still there, but the default screen is now an Agent Command Center for planning, delegating, and reviewing work across local agents and Devin cloud agents. It suits developers who want an editor and a multi-agent task board in one app.

Best for

  • Developers who want to run and review several agents from one editor
  • Existing Windsurf users: plans and settings carried over automatically
  • Teams already using Devin cloud agents
  • Developers who want unlimited tab completion on a free plan

Not best for

  • Developers who want a plain editor without an agent-first home screen
  • Terminal-first workflows
  • Teams that need predictable monthly cost under heavy agent use: quotas cap included usage
