Cursor for iOS Is Now in Public Beta

Cursor dropped its iPhone and iPad app on June 29 in public beta. It’s available to all paid-plan subscribers through the App Store.

What You Can Do With It

The app has two main modes: cloud agents and remote control.

Cloud agents let you launch an agent from your phone the same way you would from the desktop. Pick a repo, pick a model, describe the task, and the agent runs in an isolated virtual machine with a full development environment. Voice input works for describing tasks out loud, and slash commands work the same as in the desktop app. Sessions can stay alive even after you close your laptop since the compute is remote.

Remote control is for agents already running on your computer. Enable the keepalive setting on your machine, and you can keep directing the agent from your phone after you step away. For teams and enterprise plans, an admin has to enable remote control in the Cursor Dashboard first.

The app shows Live Activities on your lock screen and sends push notifications when an agent finishes a task, needs input, or is waiting for review. You can also review screenshots, logs, and diffs from your phone, leave follow-up instructions, and merge pull requests directly through the interface.

Promotional Pricing

Cursor is offering 75% off Composer 2.5 run credits used through the mobile app through July 5, 2026.

Requirements

The app requires iOS 26.0 or later. Remote control features require admin approval through the Cursor Dashboard on team and enterprise plans.

This launch comes about two weeks after SpaceX announced its $60 billion acquisition of Anysphere, the company that makes Cursor. That deal is expected to close in Q3 2026.

The Cursor iOS app is available on the App Store now.
