Hey, thanks for the questions. I’ll go in order.

  1. Chat history and sharing across projects. In Glass, chat history is stored per project and available from the history panel. In the CLI, sessions are also saved. You can come back via /resume <chat> in the TUI or cursor-agent resume, cursor-agent ls, or cursor-agent --resume <id>. Important: CLI history and IDE history are stored separately and don’t sync yet, so there’s no “continue a CLI chat inside the IDE” flow right now. This is a requested feature, tracking here: Add chat history to the cursor CLI's. There’s also no built-in API “bus” for projects to talk to each other. For integrations, use MCP servers. For scripts and automation, use the CLI headless mode with -p --output-format json.

  2. Multitask from the CLI. Glass can run multiple agents in parallel. The CLI is one interactive agent per terminal. To work in parallel, run multiple cursor-agent instances, like separate tmux panes or isolated git worktrees via --worktree, or send tasks to a cloud or background agent with the & prefix and monitor them on cursor.com/agents or from your phone. There’s no single multi-agent dashboard inside the CLI right now.

3-1. Collapsing output. The CLI is a terminal TUI, so it doesn’t have collapsible diffs like Glass. If you want to hide intermediate output and keep only the final answer, run non-interactive: cursor-agent -p --output-format text "<prompt>".

3-2. tmux scroll and infinite scroll. This is a known CLI rendering bug in tmux, it fully re-renders history when you switch or zoom a pane. It’s not a structural CLI limit and it’s not tmux’s fault. The issue is on our side, it’s known, but there’s no clear ETA yet. Workarounds for now: avoid tmux zoom-toggle, keep the CLI in a dedicated pane, and enable mouse mode in tmux for scrolling.

  1. Mobile app. Two options:
  • Cursor for iOS: a native app in public beta, available on all paid plans. It’s a companion for Cloud Agents. You can start and monitor agents, use Live Activities, review diffs and demos, and merge PRs from your phone. It’s not a full mobile IDE.
  • Web or PWA on cursor.com/agents works in a browser on any device and can be installed as a PWA on iOS and Android. Announcement: Introducing Cursor on Web & Mobile.

Let me know if you want a deeper dive on any point.
