Devin launches Devin Apps for hosting private web tools
Cognition's Devin coding agent can now build and host private, access-controlled web apps on its own cloud infrastructure, with versioned deployments and automatic rollback.
Cognition announced Devin Apps, a new feature for its Devin coding agent, on November 13, 2026, according to Introducing Devin Apps. The feature lets users describe or template a tool and have Devin build and host a private, persistent web application directly on its own cloud infrastructure, complete with access controls, versioned deployments, and automatic rollback.
What changes with Devin Apps
- Devin Apps are private web applications hosted directly on Devin's own cloud infrastructure.
- Users create an app by describing the tool they need or picking a template, such as a metrics dashboard or a project status page, then clicking Build with Devin.
- Each app receives a stable URL that stays the same across every new version.
- Access can be limited to specific users, an entire organization, or the whole enterprise, and every viewer must authenticate to Devin.
- Apps can tap into existing MCPs, integrations, and the user's own codebase.
- Updates happen through
Edit in session, with version history tracked under Deployments and automatic rollback if a new deploy fails.
What it means for people building with AI
For developers, Devin Apps turns a coding agent into a lightweight internal app platform. Instead of writing a prompt and then setting up separate hosting, authentication, and deployment pipelines, builders can go from a description directly to a hosted, access-controlled web tool. That makes it easier to spin up internal dashboards, status pages, or small team tools without leaving the Devin workflow.
Availability and operating limits
The underlying machine behind each Devin App hibernates when idle and wakes up again on access, so the first load after a period of inactivity can take several seconds. Billing is tied to how long the machine stays active. Devin Apps support any HTTP-serving stack and can store data in SQLite or Postgres, but Cognition positions them for internal tools and dashboards running on a single machine, not for high-traffic production services.
