Windsurf is now Devin Desktop

Your move: Cascade is end-of-life on July 1, 2026

Cognition shipped Windsurf as Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026, as a standard over-the-air update. Plans, pricing, settings, extensions, keybindings, and MCP connections all carried over automatically, no action needed. The default launch surface changed from a code-first editor to an Agent Command Center, a Kanban board of every local and cloud agent you're running, sorted by status. Devin Desktop also added support for the open Agent Client Protocol, so Codex, Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, and other agents can run inside the editor alongside Devin. Cascade, the local agent that powered Windsurf, is being replaced by Devin Local, a Rust rewrite Cognition says is more token-efficient and supports parallel subagents. Cascade stays available only until July 1, 2026.

Why it matters

If you were a Windsurf user, you're already running Devin Desktop and don't need to do anything for your editor itself. But if any of your CI pipelines, scripts, or automations explicitly call Cascade, repoint them to Devin Local before the July 1, 2026 cutoff.
