Does anyone have success with the remote control? I have enabled it in the Agents Window (which is actually my first question – is the remote only available for agents started in the agents window?) but the only agents I see show up in the iOS app are cloud agents.
Anyone here have similar issues, or is it just me?
Hey @nitech!
Turning on Remote Control doesn’t make your existing local agents show up on your phone — it registers your computer as a place where you can run agents that are steerable from the iOS app.
There are three ways to get one going:
/remote-control command.In all cases, your computer needs to stay awake and online.
Agents started from the IDE also appear in the Agents Window, so you can convert them to remote-controlled agents with /remote-control from there.
Making this experience more seamless is a big goal for us!
Hey @Colin,
thanks for getting back to me so fast. And this is clearer, but I have not been able to understand this from any of the documentation.
I did a lot of research about this issue - but my conclusion at that time was that remote control didn’t work - so I actually ended up creating my own (see GitHub - nitech/auto: Remote control Cursor from your phone or Telegram, through tailscale. MIT-licensed (free) · GitHub) which lets me control any session.
It would be great if the documentation would be clearer on this issue, and feel free to have a look at the code at auto.
Again, thanks and keep up building a good product.
I noticed that I had to start the remote control agent on the machine manually from each repo I want to access: “agent worker start”.
Would be nice if Cursor could do this automatically when I select a repo from the app on my phone.
