Control Cursor from your phone

Cursor is built on VS Code — so CodeMote runs inside it. Pair your phone and control the Cursor on your own machine, agents and all.

Cursor is a fork of VS Code, which means it runs VS Code extensions — including CodeMote. Install the extension in Cursor, scan the QR code, and your iPhone or iPad becomes a remote control for the Cursor running on your own computer.

Local Cursor, not a cloud agent

This is about your real Cursor on your real machine— the open project, the uncommitted changes, the terminal you already had going. It’s a different thing from Cursor’s cloud background agents: nothing runs on a third-party server, and there’s no cloud copy of your code.

Install in Cursor

Open the Extensions panel in Cursor and search for CodeMote, or install it from the marketplace listing.
Install Microsoft’s devtunnel CLI once and sign in.
Run CodeMote: Start Mobile Session from the Command Palette and scan the QR code.

Supervise the agent from your pocket

Launch any agent you run from Cursor’s terminal, watch it stream live, and approve or redirect it — by thumb or by voice — then review the diff and push, all from the phone.

Same flow works in Windsurf and other VS Code forks — anywhere the extension installs.

Questions

Does CodeMote work with Cursor?

Yes. Cursor is built on VS Code and runs VS Code extensions, so the CodeMote extension installs and runs in Cursor. You then control your local Cursor from the iPhone or iPad app.

Is this the same as Cursor's cloud background agents?

No. CodeMote controls the Cursor running on your own computer, with your real local files. Nothing runs on a third-party server and there is no cloud copy of your code.

Take your dev environment with you.

Drive your AI agents, terminals and Git from your phone — with no cloud copy of your code.
