Cursor for iOS

Cursor for iOS is the mobile companion to Anysphere's AI-native code editor, bringing the full agent-driven development workflow to iPhone. Released in public beta, the app lets developers kick off cloud agents, track progress, review generated artifacts, and merge pull requests without touching a laptop. It is available on the App Store and ranked #1 in Developer Tools at launch, according to the App Store listing.

What It Is

Cursor for iOS is a native iPhone app that extends the Cursor AI coding agent experience to mobile. Rather than a stripped-down viewer, it is designed as a first-class interface for launching and managing agents — both cloud agents running in isolated virtual machines and local agents running on a developer's own machine via Remote Control. The app targets professional developers and software teams who want to keep engineering work moving while away from their desks.

Core Capabilities

• Launch agents from anywhere — open a repo, describe a task by text or voice, and start an agent the same way you would on the desktop app
• Remote Control — direct agents already running on your local machine from your phone, with a setting to keep your computer awake while you're away
• Cloud agent handoff — send a local plan to a cloud agent or move an active session to the cloud; move it back to your machine before merging
• Visual feedback — take a screenshot, circle an issue, and drop annotations so agents receive precise visual context for UI fixes or design changes
• Diff review and PR merge — inspect file-level diffs and merge pull requests through a focused mobile diff experience
• Voice mode — describe bugs, brainstorm features, or request changes out loud; Cursor converts the conversation into actionable engineering work
• Live Activities and push notifications — lock-screen updates when an agent finishes, needs input, or is ready for review

How Cloud Agents Work

Cloud agents run in isolated virtual machines with full development environments. They can test changes in their own sandbox, iterate autonomously, and produce artifacts — videos, screenshots, and logs — that developers can review directly in the app. Because they operate asynchronously, cloud agents can run for longer periods and work toward merge-ready PRs without continuous intervention. The blog post notes that the experience of running cloud agents is intended to become indistinguishable from running them locally over time.

Workflows the Team Uses It For

The Cursor blog post describes several concrete workflows the team and early testers have adopted:

• On-call incident response — kick off an investigative agent from a phone when paged at lunch; return to a PR ready for review
• Customer bug fixes — start an agent to reproduce a time-sensitive issue reported while away from a desk
• Acting on mobile feedback — screenshot user feedback from X or other apps, annotate it, and send it to an agent as visual context for UI changes

Update: Public Beta Launch

Cursor for iOS launched in public beta in mid-2026, as described in the Anysphere blog post. The app requires iOS 26.0 or later and weighs 77.5 MB. It is available on all paid Cursor plans. The blog post also notes that Cursor's own agentic model, Composer 2.5, is available in the mobile app. Future plans mentioned include repo-less chats for tasks that don't require codebase context, and deeper MCP integrations for querying tools like Datadog and Slack.
