Hey, thanks for the report. Cursor shouldn’t fully close when your Mac goes to sleep, that’s not expected behavior.

Please help us gather more information:

  1. Does this happen every time or only occasionally?
  2. Check crash logs: open Console.app → Crash Reports → look for Cursor entries around the time the issue occurs
  3. Which macOS version are you on? (System Settings → General → About)
  4. Do you have any Cursor extensions installed?
  5. Try backing up and resetting Cursor’s workspace storage. Close Cursor, then run in Terminal:
    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage.backup
    Then restart Cursor and see if the issue persists. If it doesn’t help, restore:
    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage.backup ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage

This will help us determine if it’s a system-level issue or something specific to Cursor.
