Cognition Launches Devin Apps, Private Web Apps That Run on Devin's Cloud Computer
Introducing: Devin Apps Private, secure, sharable web applications running directly on Devin’s cloud computer. Devin Apps are designed to power your most ambitious internal tools, preview deployments, and extensions to Devin itself.
Context
Teams can now have Devin build an internal tool or preview and share it at a stable private URL, without standing up their own host.
Cognition's official account posted on November 13 introducing Devin Apps, which it described as private, secure, sharable web applications that run directly on Devin's cloud computer. The company says the apps are meant for internal tools, preview deployments and extensions to Devin itself. A same day blog post explains how a user describes a tool, Devin builds it and teammates open it from a link after signing in.

Cognition posted on November 13 introducing Devin Apps, which it described as private, secure, sharable web applications running directly on Devin's cloud computer. The post says the apps are designed to power internal tools, preview deployments and extensions to Devin itself.
The company's blog, published the same day, says a user describes the tool the team needs, Devin builds it and the team opens it from a link. Because the apps run on Devin's machine, the blog says they can use existing MCPs, integrations and the codebase, and can be built with a team's own stack or from a built in template. Each app has a stable URL, everyone who opens it has to sign in to Devin, and the apps are never public. Sharing can be limited to named people, to the organization or to the whole enterprise.
According to the blog, Devin's machine sleeps when nobody is using the app and wakes when someone opens it, and billing is based on how long the machine is awake. An app runs on one machine, and Cognition says it is a good fit for internal tools and dashboards, not for high traffic production services. Updates can be made in a session, and if a new version fails to start, the previous version keeps serving.
What to expect next
Watch for teams to share what they actually build with Devin Apps, and for Cognition to add documentation on limits, pricing and supported stacks. Reports on wake time, reliability and how well the apps use existing code and integrations will show whether the product works beyond the launch demo. Any later option for public or higher traffic apps would be a separate change.
