Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)
AI-first IDE, now part of Devin
Devin Desktop is the AI-first IDE formerly called Windsurf. Cognition acquired it and rebranded the editor on 2 June 2026 — windsurf.com now redirects to devin.ai/desktop. The Cascade agent was retired on 1 July 2026 and replaced by Devin Local, a rewritten Rust-based agent with subagent support, and the editor now opens on an Agent Command Center that tracks local and cloud agent sessions side by side. Existing Windsurf settings carried over automatically. Free tier with a daily quota; paid plans start at $20/mo.
