Devin Desktop

by Codeium

Devin Desktop was formerly Windsurf

Cognition renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in June 2026. Existing users get the change as a routine update, and Cognition says plans, pricing and extensions stay the same.

If you used it: Nothing to do. Our getting-started guide still uses the Windsurf name in places.
