Windsurf
Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) — agentic AI code editor that understands your whole codebase and writes, edits and runs code with you.
About Windsurf
Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is an AI-native code editor from Cognition, which acquired Windsurf in July 2025 and rebranded it as Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026. The original Cascade agent was retired on July 1, 2026. Devin Desktop uses an agentic workflow that reads your entire project, plans multi-file changes, writes the code and can run terminal commands to test its own work. Developers use it to build features end-to-end, refactor legacy code and fix bugs conversationally, with full manual control when they want it. It supports leading AI models tuned for engineering tasks. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of agent credits; paid plans raise limits substantially for daily professional use.
