Devin Desktop
Manage coding agents alongside a full IDE, with local editing, cloud-agent coordination, and repository work in one desktop environment.
Key Features
- Edit and debug code in a full IDE with syntax highlighting and autocomplete.
- Plan and delegate work to local and cloud agents from an agent command center.
- Connect to external agents and developer tools through the Agent Client Protocol ecosystem.
Target Demographics
Software developers who want an IDE plus a command center for planning, delegating, and reviewing local or cloud coding agents.
Our Take
Devin Desktop is a rebranded evolution of the Windsurf IDE, not simply the older cloud Devin agent. Its attraction is bringing agent coordination into a familiar editor; buyers should verify which agent, model, quota, and legacy plan are available to their account.
Pros
- Combines an IDE with surfaces for managing and reviewing agents.
- Existing Windsurf users are told that the desktop rebrand carries their settings and current plan forward.
Cons
- The rebrand can create confusion between Devin Desktop, Devin’s cloud agent, and legacy Windsurf subscriptions.
- Agent quotas and model availability depend on plan; agent changes still require developer review.
Pricing
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. The official page currently lists Free, Pro, Max, Teams, and Enterprise options and says existing plans/pricing carry over; confirm the current plan page and account-specific legacy entitlements.
