Devin Desktop
Also known as: Devin IDE, agent command center IDE, Windsurf rebrand
Devin Desktop arrived on June 2, 2026 as an over-the-air update to all existing Windsurf users. The product kept all of Windsurf's editor functionality, extensions, keybindings, and VS Code compatibility intact, but changed the default surface: instead of opening to a code editor, users now open to the Agent Command Center, a Kanban-style dashboard showing every running agent session, local and cloud, sorted by status.
The framing shift is the product's core claim. Where Windsurf was an editor with AI built in, Devin Desktop is an agent manager with a full IDE underneath. The practical difference is that a developer using Devin Desktop is primarily deciding which agent to dispatch, reviewing what agents produced, and approving or redirecting work, rather than writing code directly. Devin Local, a Rust-rewrite of the former Cascade agent, ships as the default local agent and is up to 30% more token efficient with subagent support.
Devin Desktop also introduced Spaces, a context layer that groups agent sessions, pull requests, and files by project so agents working on the same codebase share context without rebuilding it from scratch. Support for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) means any ACP-compatible coding agent can be plugged into the same Kanban interface and context layer, reducing single-vendor lock-in and making Devin Desktop a home for multi-agent workflows rather than just one product's agents.
