VibeCursor 2 — Cursor’s agent on Android, all-in-one: chat, build, live preview (unofficial)
TL;DR: VibeCursor is an unofficial Android client that runs the real Cursor agent (cursor-agent) locally on your phone inside a Linux system, with your own Cursor account. Chat on the left, live preview on the right. No desktop, no remote VM, no Termux to configure. Free, ad-supported.
GitHub (APK download, Telegram channel for updates & bug reports, docs): GitHub - exinorg/cursor-android: VibeCursor 2 — unofficial Cursor AI for Android (multi-account, multi-chat, CLI, preview). APK 2.0.0. Not affiliated with Cursor/Anysphere. · GitHub
Google Play listing coming very soon
Independent project, not affiliated with Cursor / Anysphere. You sign in with your Cursor account; usage counts on your plan.
Why “all-in-one”
Everything you need to vibe-code is inside one app — install it and start:
| Piece | What’s inside |
|---|---|
| Agent | Real cursor-agent, persistent session (ACP) — it doesn’t restart between messages |
| Linux | Debian arm64 rootfs with Node, git, python… runs via proot, no root needed |
| Files | Project files, checkpoints, restore |
| Preview | Local dev servers open right in the app, multiple ports as tabs |
| Git + MCP | Commit / push from the phone, connect MCP servers |
| Publish | One-tap public URL — coming soon |
Two downloads: VibeCursor.apk — all-in-one (~157 MB), Linux system already embedded, works offline after install; or VibeCursor-lite.apk (~6 MB) that downloads the system on first launch. Same app.
Live preview (the part people ask about)
- Start any dev server (
vite,next dev,python -m http.server…) → tap
and it opens inside the app. - Preview tabs: several ports at once (5173, 3000, 8080…). Closing the preview keeps your tabs for next time.
- Tablet / landscape split: chat on the left, site on the right, live reload while the agent edits.
- Preview is on-device, so it also works without a network.
- Publish to a public URL is in the works — for now, push to your own GitHub/hosting with the built-in Git.

Full feature list
Agent
- Persistent agent session — context and running tasks survive between messages
- Plan / Ask / Run Everything modes
- Slash commands:
/plan,/ask,/agent,/usage,/mcp,/memory,/help… - Lite ↔ CLI view: light chat, or terminal-style feed with every tool call — one tap in the header
- Live status line: mode · usage % · what it’s doing right now
Accounts & chats
- Multi-account Cursor (API key or browser login) — switch without the login shuffle
- Multi-chat per project — pin, switch, delete, history migrated
/usageand credits chip straight from your Cursor account
Project & safety
- Checkpoints: snapshot before a refactor, restore from Files when something goes sideways
- Persistent memory (MEMORY.md) — facts and preferences that survive new chats
- Linux system backup: save your personal root (installed tools), restore it, or factory-reset the system — projects stay
- Git: init / commit / push from the phone
- MCP servers
App
- OTA UI updates — the interface updates itself, no APK hunt for every tweak; the agent updates in-app too
- App lock (optional password at launch)
- Language: Automatic (follows the phone) + 25 languages; the agent answers in the language you pick
- GDPR / UMP consent, privacy in Settings
- Ads: muted banner only on setup/login screens, never in chat; one rewarded interstitial at open
Getting started (2 minutes)
- Grab
VibeCursor.apk(all-in-one) or the lite one from the GitHub page (Google Play very soon). - First launch: the Linux system unpacks (all-in-one) or downloads (lite).
- Sign in with Cursor → pick Plan, Ask or Run Everything → type “Build a landing page for my app”.
- Tap for the live preview.
Roadmap (short term)
- Google Play release — very soon, with auto-updates
- Publish: one-tap public URL for your project
- Project archive / export, notes widget, model picker in the drawer
Honest notes
- Unofficial. If Cursor changes the agent protocol, things can break until I update the agent (in-app update, not a new APK).
- proot on a phone is slower than a laptop: fine for web projects, Node, Python, small builds; not for compiling big native stuff.
- Needs arm64 Android 8+; ~1 GB free for the Linux system.
