Move from Conductor to Devin

Take it out

1. 1

   Step 1

   Do this before November 13, not after

   Charlie's November 4, 2026 announcement says Conductor Cloud is read-only on November 13, 2026. You can still read old chats and export. You cannot send new cloud messages. On November 20, 2026 the cloud shuts down and deletion of cloud user data begins. The announcement says to export before that date. New signups already stopped on November 4. This guide did not click the screens.

   Step 2

   Transfer each cloud workspace to the Mac

   The announcement says to right-click a cloud workspace and choose Transfer to local. That moves the workspace and its chats onto the Mac. Do this while you can still open the workspace. Local Conductor keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027. The same announcement says the app starts winding down then, and that all Conductor user data is deleted when the app shuts down.

   Step 3

   Download the full archive as well

   The announcement says Settings, then Account, then Export data downloads an archive of all Conductor data. Keep that file off git. The announcement does not list the filenames inside the archive. Treat it as private. Active subscribers get a refund. The announcement does not print the amount.

   Step 4

   Write down which agent each chat used

   The harness docs say each chat uses one of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or OpenCode, and that the model bill goes to that provider. The export does not move those logins. Note the provider for each chat you still care about, before the cloud copy is gone.

Put it in

1. 1

   Step 1

   Install Devin Desktop on the Mac

   The Devin Desktop page, checked November 10, 2026, has a macOS download. The FAQ on that page says Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. The pricing page lists Free at $0, with a light quota to code with agents, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits, and unlimited Tab completions. Pro is $20 a month and is where Devin Cloud is included. This guide did not install it.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Open the repository you already have

   Conductor does not take the git history with the shutdown. The code stays in the host you already use. Clone it, or use the copy on the Mac, and start a Devin session there. The Devin pages checked here do not import a Conductor archive or a Transfer to local workspace.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Point the session at the agent you actually used

   The Devin desktop page says the Agent Client Protocol can manage agents you already use. It does not say Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode are bundled. If the chat you exported was an OpenCode session, OpenCode's own app is second on this checklist and can run more than one session on the same project. Paste only the instruction you still need. Leave provider keys out of the chat.

What you lose

• The archive is not a migration

  Devin does not open the Conductor export. Chats, city-named workspaces, and .context notes stay as files you can read. A new Devin session starts empty unless you paste what you still need.

• November 13 is the last day to send a cloud message

  After November 13, 2026 the announcement says the cloud is read-only. Transfer and export still matter before November 20, when deletion begins. A read-only cloud workspace is not a new Devin task.

• The four agents do not come along

  Conductor's harness page runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode, and bills them through those accounts. Devin's free plan does not include that set, and it does not include Devin Cloud. You keep the provider login. You do not keep Conductor's screen around it.

• Isolated worktrees are not in the Devin docs checked here

  Conductor gives each task a git worktree and a branch. The Devin pages show sessions, branches, and pull requests. They do not say each task gets its own worktree. Two agents can still edit the same checkout if you point them at one folder.

• The Mac app is a short bridge

  You can keep using local Conductor until early 2027 for model updates and critical fixes. The announcement says it winds down then. Do not treat the local app as the place you will still be working next spring.
