Devin Desktop turns Windsurf into an agent command center

Cognition has renamed Windsurf as Devin Desktop, positioning the IDE as a unified surface for managing coding agents. The product keeps the existing editor experience while adding multi-agent workflows, shared context, and cloud handoff features.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf, with Cognition building on the IDE foundation to introduce a command center for managing coding agents in one place. The product is designed for engineers to plan, delegate, review, and ship without leaving the editor, while agents write code, pursue edge cases, and test changes. The Agent Command Center puts Spaces, Kanban view, and multi-agent management at the center of the experience, while the full IDE remains accessible.

The desktop environment supports fleets of local and cloud agents from one surface and works across models and agents through the Agent Client Protocol. Devin Desktop includes syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and debugging tools for reading, tracing, and debugging agent-generated changes. Spaces let teams share context and Git worktrees across agents, while Fast Context finds the exact files and lines an agent needs. Supercomplete is positioned as a feature that predicts a developer’s next thought, not just the next edit. Devin Desktop also offers unlimited access to SWE-1.6, described as the fastest coding model in the world.

Cognition is presenting Devin Desktop as an agent-first development environment for both individual engineers and teams. The product supports local agents, Devin Cloud, Devin Local, Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and Cascade Local, and includes an effortless handoff to the cloud for work that can continue after a laptop is closed. Built-in review workflows are meant to help developers inspect every agent diff before pushing changes.

Customer references from Ramp, Harvey, NVIDIA, Modal, and Intact Financial emphasize shared workspaces, custom background agents, multi-agent coordination, and local-machine flexibility. The platform can also be extended with tools and plugins including Slack, ESLint, Linear, rust-analyzer, Notion, Prettier, Figma, clangd, Sentry, Pyright, Stripe, gopls, Vercel, Datadog, and Atlassian. Existing Windsurf users receive Devin Desktop as a standard over-the-air update, with plans, pricing, extensions, settings, workflows, and in-progress work carrying over automatically. Windsurf for JetBrains, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and more, continues to be available for download.
