Build from anywhere with Cursor for iOS

Summary

Cursor for iOS is available in public beta on all paid plans, bringing agent-based development to a native mobile app. Users can choose a repository, select a frontier model, provide voice input or slash commands, and launch agents in the cloud or control agents running on their computers through Remote Control. The app supports asynchronous workflows with Live Activities and push notifications, while cloud agents use isolated virtual machines and full development environments to test, verify, and produce demos, screenshots, logs, and merge-ready pull requests. Developers can review diffs, provide follow-up instructions, merge pull requests, and hand sessions between local and cloud environments, including sending a local plan to the cloud or returning a cloud session to the computer for local testing. Cursor says repo-less chats are planned, and offers 75% off Composer 2.5 runs in the mobile app through July 5, 2026.
