Devin Desktop
Cognition's agentic AI IDE — formerly Windsurf, with Devin's parallel agents built in.
Add Devin Desktop to your hut →Devin Desktop is Cognition's agentic AI IDE — the product formerly known as Windsurf, rebranded in June 2026 after Cognition acquired it. Its agent (Devin Local, the successor to Windsurf's Cascade) reasons about your codebase, plans multi-file changes, runs terminal commands, and can fan work out to parallel subagents. It's built on VS Code, so your existing extensions and muscle memory carry over, and it tends to lean more autonomous than Cursor — appealing if you want to hand off whole features rather than approve each edit.
The free tier remains. Pro ($20/mo) unlocks higher usage limits and premium models, with a Max tier for heavy agent use. Most often compared to Cursor — the practical difference is still how much autonomy you want the agent to take and which UX style you prefer.
