Cursor adds remote control for local agents: view and reply to agents running on your computer from the iOS app
Cursor announced in its changelog that users can now see and reply to the local agents running on their computer from the Cursor iOS app. The feature is on by default for everyone except Enterprise organizations, and the agents keep running on the user’s own computer.
To use it, download the Cursor iOS app and sign in; computers on the account appear automatically. Tap a computer and approve the pairing request in the Cursor desktop app, and your local agents appear in a list—tap one to see what it is doing or send it a message.
Remote control does not move agents to the cloud; the app connects to the computer, which must stay on and online. To stop it sleeping while you are away, turn on “Keep this computer awake” under Remote Control in the desktop settings; the computer must be plugged in with the lid open. The feature does not require cloud agents. It is off by default for Enterprise organizations, whose admins can enable it in Org settings > Security and identity > Remote control. The changelog mentions only the iOS app and says nothing about an Android version or extra cost.
