Windsurf has been rebranded as Devin Desktop, putting an Agent Command Center front and center to run local and cloud coding agents.
Per the official FAQ, Windsurf turns into Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026 with pricing unchanged, settings auto‑migrated, and support for local‑only agents; it’s part of a broader brand unification alongside Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, and Devin Review FAQ.
The new primary view emphasizes multi‑agent planning and execution while keeping the full IDE experience intact product page.
Getting started materials highlight Devin Local, MCP servers for tool expansion, Workflows, and one‑click App Deploys, plus import paths from VS Code or Cursor docs. For context on editor‑centric vs terminal‑centric agent workflows, see this comparison of Claude Code and Cursor guide.
Devin Desktop centralizes agent orchestration, so teams can plan, review, and ship from one surface instead of juggling tools.
Migration is low friction (pricing and settings keep working), making it safe to trial multi‑agent workflows without process churn.
-
terminal
Run a pilot repo using local‑only agents plus one MCP server, and measure PR throughput, review latency, and flaky test rate vs baseline.
-
terminal
Use the Agent Command Center to split a medium task into parallel agent sessions and compare lead time vs a single terminal agent workflow.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Update Windsurf to Devin Desktop and verify extensions, keybindings, and LSPs port cleanly; exercise local‑only mode to satisfy data controls.
- 02.
Gate any Devin Cloud calls behind existing egress policies and audit workflows; confirm team seats and usage buckets match current billing.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Stand up a new service with agents owning lint, test, and doc PRs; wire MCP servers for repo, build, and observability actions.
- 02.
Choose editor‑centric agents (Devin Desktop) for interactive work and keep a terminal agent for headless CI jobs if needed.
