MacOs Menubar App

Showcase Built for Cursor
,
1

Have you ever wanted to control Cursor from the MacOs menubar instead of having to alt+tab to the terminal or cursor?

Anyone, just me…?

There are times I care about the code, and times I really don’t - for example experimenting with UI improvements and quick features.

I don’t like alt and tabbing to Cursor as I feel you lose focus. I want the browser to stay visible all the time. So I invented this.

Click the menubar icon
It launches a nice popout with 80% of cursors functionality powered by the Cursor CLI

It supports:

  1. Paste as screenshot
  2. Multiple agent tabs
  3. Separate thinking blocks
  4. Model picker etc etc

Github here if anyone finds it useful. Not bad for not knowing any Swift to this!

Lot of changes since that screenshot but glad you like it!

You need to download XCode from the apple marketplace. You open the CursorPlus project file to open the solution and press Play for it to appear. Settings are synced to your user profile so when you press stop and play again your sessiona are retained.

It’s a bit rough around the edges although I believe your git root is configurable. I’ll improve the README when I’m back

I really recommend taking what’s there and building your own one, Auto is good enough for most of the features I added.

I want to add:

  1. Terminal emulator
  2. Add new project
  3. Diff viewer

And a bunch of other stuff

I wish there was a way to download the executable and then install it directly without using Xcode.
but i’ll give it a try.

I’ll make a release artifact on GitHub when I’m home and update you when it’s done.

It’s MacOS only at the moment as a headsup
