Windsurf was renamed Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026. The editor and existing workflows remain available, with the Agent Command Center moved to the primary view.

Decision summary

Choose if

Choose Devin Desktop when a bounded software task can move between interactive work and a managed cloud session, then return code, pull-request, or testing evidence for review.

Compare before choosing

Compare Cursor when continuous editor steering is the main workflow, or Pi Coding Agent when a minimal local terminal harness and operator-owned extensions are required.

Verify before adoption: Run one bounded repository task and record the transition between interactive and managed cloud work. Inspect the returned files, pull request, command evidence, and testing record against repository-owned acceptance checks. Confirm repository access, secrets, skills, review ownership, and recovery before wider team delegation.

About Devin Desktop

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It is an agentic IDE that puts local coding tools and cloud Devin agents in the same working environment. It combines inline edits and Tab completion with agent sessions, generated diffs, Spaces, and an Agent Command Center. Its main distinction is the ability to coordinate several local and cloud workstreams from one desktop application. In day-to-day use, a developer can write and revise code directly, hand a bounded task to an agent, inspect the resulting diff, and keep related work organized in Spaces. The command center is useful when several sessions are running at once because it gives reviewers a place to follow progress and decide what deserves attention. Human review still matters. Engineers remain responsible for testing changes, resolving architecture choices, and deciding whether generated work is safe to merge. The product fits teams that are ready to adopt a dedicated agentic IDE and want more than a single chat panel or completion model. It is especially relevant when implementation work can be split into parallel tracks and reviewed as separate diffs. A team that only wants a small extension inside its current IDE may find the desktop workflow heavier than necessary. It is also a weaker match where policy rules out cloud agent execution or where developers do not need multi-session coordination. The Free plan provides a light agent quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits, and unlimited Tab completions. Pro costs $20 per month and adds larger quotas, broader model access, and cloud agents. Max costs $200 per month for substantially higher quotas. Teams costs $80 per month for the team plan plus $40 per month for each full developer seat, while Enterprise uses custom sales terms. Paid usage allowances refresh on daily and weekly schedules, and extra usage may be purchased at API pricing after an included allowance is exhausted. Useful comparisons depend on working style. Cursor is a natural benchmark for teams that prioritize a mature AI-first editor and codebase indexing. Claude Code is a closer fit for terminal-first, Anthropic-centered work. GitHub Copilot and JetBrains AI may suit organizations that want assistance inside established IDEs. Devin Cloud is relevant when autonomous cloud execution matters more than a unified desktop command center. For enterprise evaluation, compare repository access, SAML or OIDC SSO, centralized administration, deployment options, support, data boundaries, auditability, and the policy for cloud sessions.

Best for

Developers who coordinate several coding agents and need one place to see session and review status.
Engineering teams that split implementation into parallel workstreams and review each result as a separate diff.
Organizations evaluating a dedicated agentic IDE with both local-only and cloud-agent execution options.

Best use cases

Delegate bounded implementation tasks while continuing direct editing and keeping every generated diff available for review.

Track concurrent sessions, pull requests, and CI outcomes through Spaces and the Agent Command Center.

Use local-only agents for restricted repositories, then enable cloud agents selectively where organizational policy allows.

Compare before choosing

Compare with Cursor when AI-first editor maturity, codebase indexing, and established governance are the main buying criteria.

Compare with Claude Code when the team prefers terminal-first agent work and an Anthropic-centered workflow.

Compare with GitHub Copilot or JetBrains AI when retaining the current IDE matters more than adopting a separate desktop command center.

Features

Agent Command Center

Tracks local and cloud coding sessions in board or list views so reviewers can see status and decide what to inspect next.

Integrated editor

Keeps the Windsurf editor, extensions, keybindings, language servers, inline edits, and Tab completion inside the desktop workflow.

Local and cloud agents

Runs local-only sessions when required and gives eligible plans access to Devin Cloud for longer or parallel tasks.

Spaces and session review

Groups related work in Spaces and exposes generated diffs, pull requests, CI status, and review queues across concurrent sessions.

Pros

  • One desktop surface combines direct editing, agent delegation, generated diffs, and multi-session review.
  • Local-only agents remain available for teams that cannot send every coding task to a cloud runtime.
  • Free includes unlimited inline edits and Tab completions, while paid tiers add broader models and cloud agents.
  • Spaces, board views, and concurrent-session status make parallel implementation work easier to supervise.

Cons

  • The desktop workflow is heavier than a small extension for developers who want assistance inside an existing IDE.
  • Agent output still requires engineering review, testing, and architecture decisions before it is safe to merge.
  • Paid usage allowances refresh on daily and weekly schedules, and extra usage is billed at API pricing after the allowance is exhausted.
  • Cloud-agent adoption requires a separate check of repository access, data boundaries, auditability, and organizational policy.

FAQ

Devin Desktop is the current name for the Windsurf IDE. It keeps the editor and local workflows while putting the Agent Command Center at the center of the product.
It is best for developers and teams that want a desktop coding environment for coordinating local assistance, cloud Devin agents, diffs, Spaces, and multi-session review.
Official pricing lists Free at $0, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams at $80/month plus $40/month per full dev seat, and Enterprise as contact sales.
Cursor is stronger as a mature AI-first editor with codebase indexing and broad governance. Devin Desktop is stronger when the team wants multi-agent command-center coordination across local and cloud sessions.
Claude Code is terminal-first and Anthropic-centered. Devin Desktop is a full desktop IDE and command center for local and cloud coding agents.
Existing work, editor features, plans, and pricing continue under the Devin Desktop name. The main interface change puts the Agent Command Center in the primary view.
The Enterprise plan lists SAML/OIDC SSO, centralized enterprise admin controls, a dedicated deployment option, priority support, and dedicated account management.
No. It can coordinate and generate work, but engineers still need to review diffs, test changes, resolve architecture tradeoffs, and handle production risk.
It is a poor fit when a team only wants a lightweight extension, rejects cloud-agent execution, or does not need multi-agent orchestration.
Compare Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, JetBrains AI, Devin Cloud, Replit, and local coding assistants depending on IDE preference, autonomy, and governance needs.
Choose Devin Desktop when a bounded task can move between interactive work and a managed session, then return repository changes or testing evidence for review. Validate the complete handoff on one real task.
No. Treat the pull request, session output, and testing evidence as inputs to review. Verify requirement coverage, the complete diff, repository tests, user-visible behavior, credentials, and recovery.
