Cursor has launched a native iOS app that brings its AI-powered code editor to iPhone, letting developers review diffs, kick off background agents, and track tasks without opening a laptop. The release, announced on the Cursor blog, is positioned as a mobile companion for staying close to a codebase when away from a desktop machine.
What is the new Cursor iOS app?
Cursor’s new iOS app is a native mobile companion for the AI-powered code editor. It runs locally on the device rather than streaming a remote desktop, a deliberate choice Cursor says keeps latency low and lets the app follow iOS conventions.
What can you do in the app?
The iOS app adapts Cursor’s main workflow for touchscreens.
- Code review. Read recent diffs, inspect files, and leave comments on pull requests without opening a laptop.
- Run agents. Kick off background coding agents to make changes, fix bugs, or explore a repository, then check in on their progress from the lock screen.
- Track tasks. View tasks the agent is working on, including completed edits and remaining work.
- Pick up where you left off. Open a session on the phone and continue the same conversation on the desktop editor later.
How does it compare to the desktop client?
Cursor is explicit that the iOS app is not a full replacement for the desktop experience. Editing code, writing new files, and large-scale refactors remain desktop-first activities. The mobile app is framed as a way to monitor, review, and direct work while away from a workstation, then hand off to a larger screen for heavier lifting.
Where is the app available?
The app is available on the App Store for iPhone. Cursor has also pointed to an Android version as something the team is considering, though no release date has been confirmed.
