Devin Desktop unifies Windsurf with agent control

Devin Desktop turns Windsurf into a shared IDE and agent command center for local and cloud work.

Devin on devin.ai said on June 2, 2026 that Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, a rebrand and product shift that folds the IDE and agent manager into one surface. The company says the update arrives as an over-the-air change for existing Windsurf users, with plans, pricing, and extensions unchanged.

What changed

Devin Desktop is now the default front end for managing agents. Instead of treating the editor and agent console as separate tools, Cognition says the new product centers on an “Agent Command Center” that shows local and cloud agents in a Kanban-style view.

The release also adds Spaces, which group sessions, pull requests, files, and context so multiple agents can share state while working on the same task.

• Devin Desktop keeps Windsurf’s IDE features: extensions, keybindings, LSP support, and VSCode compatibility.
• The product now supports the Agent Client Protocol, or ACP, so third-party agents can run inside compatible editors.
• At launch, ACP support includes Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and in-house agents built by customer teams.
• Third-party agents appear in the same Kanban workflow and Spaces as Devin sessions.
• Devin Local replaces Cascade as the main local agent and is rewritten in Rust.

Cognition says Devin Local is up to 30% more token efficient and adds modern features such as subagents. For teams that need time to migrate, the legacy Cascade agent remains available through July 1.

Why it matters

The shift pushes Devin from a single-agent product into a control layer for mixed agent fleets. That matters for teams already running multiple coding assistants, because they can review, route, and compare work from one interface instead of bouncing between tools.

It also lowers the cost of adopting third-party or in-house agents. ACP support means developers can plug compatible agents into the same editor workflow without giving up the review and context-sharing model Devin is building around.

For enterprise buyers, the bigger signal is product consolidation: one stack for desktop, cloud, CLI, and code review. That can simplify onboarding and make it easier to standardize how engineers dispatch work across local machines and hosted agents.

The open question is whether Devin Desktop becomes the default workspace for agent-heavy teams, or just another IDE with a stronger bot sidebar.
