Cursor announced the launch of Cursor for iOS, a native mobile app that is now available in public beta. The app enables developers to launch always-on agents in the cloud or control agents running on their computers from an iPhone. And developers can use the app to start work when ideas come up, receive notifications when work is ready for review, and merge pull requests while away from their desks.
With the Cursor mobile app, users can choose a repository and launch an agent in a similar way to the desktop app. The iOS app also supports selecting frontier models, describing ideas through voice input, and using slash commands to guide Cursor.
For agents running locally on a user’s computer, Cursor’s Remote Control feature allows developers to continue directing those agents from their phone. Users can also enable a setting that keeps their computer awake so local agents remain reachable while they are away from their desks.
Cursor said the mobile app supports several new workflows for developers, including handling incidents while on call, resolving customer issues, and acting on feedback from other mobile apps. For example, users can take a screenshot of feedback, annotate it, and send it to an agent as visual context for design or UI changes.
The app also keeps users updated after agents begin working. Cursor supports Live Activities on the lock screen and push notifications when an agent finishes, needs input, or is ready for review. Developers can review generated artifacts, inspect diffs, leave follow-up instructions, or merge pull requests directly from the app.
Cursor’s cloud agents run in isolated virtual machines with full development environments for testing, verification, and demos. The company said these cloud agents can run asynchronously with their own tools and resources, allowing them to work on longer tasks and iterate toward merge-ready pull requests.
Cursor for iOS also supports handoffs between local and cloud environments. Users can send a local plan to a cloud agent, move active agents to the cloud so they can keep running, and later bring the cloud session back to their computer to test changes locally before merging.
Cursor said it is working toward a future where running agents in the cloud feels indistinguishable from running them locally. The company is also working on repo-less chats, which would make it easier to start tasks that do not require codebase context.
Cursor for iOS is available now in public beta on all paid plans. The company is also offering 75% off Composer 2.5 runs in the mobile app through July 5, 2026.
