About

Devin Desktop Next (Beta) is the early-adopter version of Devin Desktop, an IDE built on the Windsurf foundation. Its Agent Command Center brings agent-management tools into the desktop experience while keeping the IDE available.

  • Organize agent work with Spaces and a Kanban view.
  • Manage multiple agents from the command center.
  • Access the IDE experience alongside the agent-management features.
  • The Homebrew cask installs the Devin - Next.app application and provides the devin-desktop-next command-line binary.

Install with brew install --cask devin-desktop@next, then open Devin - Next.app. The cask requires macOS 12 or later. Devin Next is a beta release intended for early adopters.
