Settings follow you.Themes and AI settings move between projects.

How it works

DeskTwin uses the editor's own official switches. There is still one install.

  1. 01

    Pick the editor

    Choose Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf, then a name, a number and a colour for the copy.

  2. 02

    Open it from its shortcut

    DeskTwin starts the editor with its own user-data folder and extensions folder, using the official --user-data-dir and --extensions-dir switches.

  3. 03

    Sign in once

    Each copy keeps its own sign-in, settings and extensions. Editor updates reach every copy, because there is one install.
