Cursor launches iOS app for overseeing coding agents from a phone
Cursor's new iOS app connects to the same agent runtime as the desktop IDE, letting developers start tasks, review diffs, and approve or redirect running agents mid-session without a workstation. Developers running long agent sessions can manage them from their phone; Anthropic's Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, says the majority of his coding has moved to mobile.
