IDE from Cognition, formerly Windsurf, for managing local and cloud Devin agents that plan, write, test and ship code.

## Overview

Devin Desktop is the renamed Windsurf code editor, now part of Cognition, the maker of the Devin coding agent. It is a full IDE with an Agent Command Center for managing Devin Local and Devin Cloud agents, along with third-party agents such as Codex and Claude Agent through ACP.

Devin plans, writes, tests and ships code for engineering teams. Each Devin Cloud agent runs on its own cloud machine, large tasks can be split across parallel agents, and Enterprise customers can deploy in their own private cloud. Teams work with Devin through Slack, Teams, GitHub, Linear, Jira and MCP.

Plans start free, then $20 or $200 a month, with per-seat team plans.

**Who it is for:** Engineering teams.

## Features

* Manages local and cloud agents from an Agent Command Center.
* Runs Devin Cloud agents, each on its own cloud machine.
* Runs third-party agents such as Codex and Claude Agent through ACP.
* Splits large tasks across parallel cloud agents and returns pull requests.
* Uses Cognition's own SWE models plus models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and SpaceXAI.
* Supports MCP servers through Devin config files.
