### Feature request for product/service Cursor IDE ### Describe the request Feature request: Remote Agent Control from Mobile I often leave Cursor open on my office Mac with a project already loaded. While away from the computer, for example during a commute, I may have new ideas and would like to send prompts to the active Cursor Agent/Chat from my iPhone. Today the available options are Cloud Agents or remote desktop, but neither maps perfectly to this workflow. Cloud Agents require a supported remote Git provider and run in a separate cloud environment, while remote desktop is cumbersome on mobile. It would be useful to have a secure “Remote Control” feature for Cursor Desktop: - Pair a mobile device with a specific Cursor Desktop installation. - View active workspaces/projects. - Send prompts to an existing local Agent/Chat session. - Receive progress updates and summaries. - Approve risky actions from mobile. - Optionally continue the conversation when back at the desktop. - Support local repositories, including Bitbucket or non-GitHub/GitLab setups. This would let users keep working with their existing local environment, secrets, terminals, project state, and open Cursor session, without needing full remote desktop access. ---

I fully agree. Using Cursor on the mobile app lets you make good use of fragmented time, and with mobile as a new terminal, you can run tasks in parallel via cloud mode. ---

Remote-controlled agents can be controlled from [https://cursor.com/agents](https://cursor.com/agents). There’s no actual voting, but you can show your support for an Android-native app by following the request here: > [@Cursor Android mobile app](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-android-mobile-app/165496): > > Describe the request It would be great if you would release Cursor mobile app for android users, so that anyone could access it not just from ios.
