  • Read code changes and diffs
  • Check terminal and task output
  • Review agent conversations in the editor

Use Cursor on iPad

Use an iPad to read code and terminal output with more room. A keyboard can make small edits more comfortable while the repository and tools stay on the Mac.

Can I use Cursor on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?

Yes — by streaming Cursor from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Cursor installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.

Cursor’s web or mobile agent access serves different workflows. Apperture shows your actual Mac editor and local environment; any agent usage still follows your Cursor account and settings. Cursor product information.
