Windsurf, the AI-native IDE, is now called Devin Desktop. Cognition rebranded it on June 2, 2026; it is the same VS Code-compatible editor with an Agent Command Center for local and cloud agents. Pricing: Free, Pro $20/month, Max $200/month, Teams $80/month + $40 per seat.
What is Windsurf (now Devin Desktop)?
Devin Desktop keeps the Windsurf editor, extensions and keybindings but makes an Agent Command Center (a Kanban view of local and cloud agents) the default surface. Devin Local, a Rust rewrite, replaced Cascade as the local agent.
It supports the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so other agents such as Codex or Claude's agent can run inside the editor. Existing Windsurf subscriptions carried over unchanged.
