CursorAnnouncement
Cursor Mobile App for iOS
Summary
Cursor for iOS is available in public beta for all paid plans, bringing agent management and development workflows to mobile. Users can choose a repository, launch a cloud agent with any frontier model, provide voice input, and guide it with slash commands; agents run in isolated virtual machines with full development environments for testing, verification, and demos. Sessions can move from local to cloud, while Remote Control lets people continue directing a computer-based agent from the phone, with an option to keep the computer awake; Teams and Enterprise administrators must enable that feature in Cursor Dashboard. Live Activities and push notifications report agent status, including completion, requests for input, and review readiness, and the app supports reviewing artifacts such as demos, screenshots, logs, and diffs, leaving instructions, and merging pull requests.

FAQ
How do cloud agents work from the Cursor iOS app?
Users choose a repository, select a frontier model, and launch an agent from the app. Cloud agents run in isolated virtual machines with full development environments to test, verify, and demo work.
Can a phone control an agent running on a computer?
Yes. Remote Control lets users continue directing an agent running on their computer from the phone, and a setting can keep the computer awake so it remains reachable. Teams and Enterprise admins must enable the feature in the Cursor Dashboard.
What can users review or do when an agent finishes?
Live Activities and push notifications show when an agent finishes, needs input, or is ready for review. Users can inspect demos, screenshots, logs, and diffs, leave follow-up instructions, or merge the pull request from the app.
