Claude Code (desktop app) · Anthropic

136,750 · high

Windsurf Cascade / Devin Desktop (Devin Local) · Cognition AI (formerly Codeium)

medium

The Windsurf AI IDE's Cascade agent, post-Cognition-acquisition, was rebranded to Devin Desktop (June 2, 2026) with Cascade deprecated (available through July 1, 2026) in favor of the Rust-rewritten 'Devin Local' agent (30% more token-efficient, subagents), pairing local agentic editing (Fast Context codebase awareness, MCP, Memories, Workflows) with Devin cloud sessions for background work.

Cosine (Genie) · Cosine

medium

YC-backed autonomous software engineer that picks up tickets from GitHub/Jira/Linear and opens tested PRs end-to-end across CLI, desktop, VS Code and cloud, distinguished by its own in-house Lumen model family (including on-device Scout and air-gapped sovereign variants for regulated industries like HSBC/NatWest/BAE) and the April 2026 'Swarm' feature for parallel long-horizon agents; credit-based seats at $20 (Hobby) and $200 (Professional).

Factory (Droids) · Factory AI

medium

Enterprise-focused 'Droids' platform ($1.5B valuation after April 2026 Series C): autonomous agents that execute refactors, migrations and incident investigations end-to-end across CLI, desktop, SDK and remote 'Droid Computers' cloud workloads, with both local and cloud background agents on the $20 Pro tier and adoption at Nvidia, Adobe, Morgan Stanley and MongoDB; notably model-agnostic across frontier providers.

Cloud / backgroundproprietarysubscription✓ mcpoptional

Anthropic's non-technical desktop agent built on the Claude Code harness (no terminal required) that works over local folders, browsers (Claude in Chrome), and full computer use, with MCP connectors, Agent Skills, and plugins — expanded to web and mobile in July 2026 with cloud-run sessions for Max subscribers.
