Remote Control for Local Agents
Anysphere, Tuesday, October 6th, 2026
Cursor users can now monitor and message local agents running on their computer from the Cursor iOS app.
Cursor added Remote Control, which lets users see and reply to local agents running on their computer from the Cursor iOS app.
After signing in and approving a pairing request in the Cursor desktop app, users can pick an agent to check its status or send it a message, while the agent keeps running on a machine that must stay on and online.
A Keep this computer awake setting prevents sleep, and the feature is on by default except for Enterprise organizations, where admins can enable it, with no cloud agents required.
