What is Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)?

What it is

Windsurf, the AI code editor known for its Cascade agent, has been renamed Devin Desktop. Cognition, the company behind the Devin agent, acquired Windsurf and in 2026 pushed an update that changed the name; windsurf.com now redirects to devin.ai/desktop. Existing plans, extensions and settings carried over automatically. The product is still a full IDE with syntax highlighting, autocomplete and debugging, but its focus has shifted to managing fleets of local and cloud agents from one screen.

Key features

Agent management: plan, delegate and review work from local and cloud agents inside the editor
Devin Local, the local agent that succeeds Cascade and keeps its core capabilities and settings
Spaces for sharing context and Git worktrees across agents
Tab completions and inline edits, unlimited on all plans
Access to Cognition's SWE models and frontier models on paid plans
A free plan that still includes the full editor

Skills, subagents and MCP

Devin Desktop supports MCP servers and language servers for integrations such as Linear, Slack, Notion, Stripe and Datadog. The Devin agent documentation says it reads AGENTS.md and supports rules and skills for persistent context and reusable workflows. Because the product changed recently, check the current docs before relying on older Windsurf features such as Cascade hooks or workflows.

Pricing

Pricing now sits on devin.ai. At the time of writing (September 2026): Free ($0) with a light agent quota, limited models and unlimited Tab completions; Pro at $20 per month with higher quotas and frontier models; Max at $200 per month; Teams at $80 per month plus $40 per developer seat; and custom Enterprise plans.

Who it is for

Existing Windsurf users, and developers who want an editor that doubles as a control centre for several coding agents, including Devin in the cloud.

Verdict

The editor is still capable and has a usable free plan, but it is no longer the Cascade-centred Windsurf many people signed up for. If you are choosing today, evaluate it as Devin Desktop, a multi-agent workspace, and confirm which Windsurf-era features you rely on still exist.
