Devin Desktop

Agenticness17/36·Adaptive Collaborator

An agentic IDE that helps you code faster without leaving flow

Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is Cognition's AI-native desktop app for developers. It keeps the full IDE — editor, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, debugging — and adds a command centre for running and coordinating multiple coding agents in one place. Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Not to be confused with Devin, Cognition's cloud agent, which we list and score separately at /t/devin.

Agenticness = how independently a tool can take action, scored across 9 dimensions. Scored independently by David Kooi, Skylark Creations — see full rubric →
