Cursor AI Hits iPad – Mobile Coding Just Got Serious

Cursor just pushed a dedicated iPad update. The app, which already runs on iPhone, now features a proper tablet layout optimised for the larger screen and it is available on all paid plans.

The official changelog went live on July 29. Cursor for iPad keeps the same core idea as the phone version: start and manage coding agents, review their work and merge pull requests without sitting at a computer. The difference is space. Sidebar chats remain open, allowing you to follow multiple agents simultaneously. You can keep a full PR review open next to an active chat. File diffs finally render at a usable width instead of being cramped. Markup also benefits. Attach a screenshot, then tap exact spots to leave comments or draw directly on the image with an Apple Pencil. That visual feedback goes straight to the agent.

Two features arrived for both iPhone and iPad at the same time. The first is a full review surface. The review screen now shows the complete pull request—comments, checks and approvals. You can add or change reviewers, read existing comments, and tell the agent to fix the issues it finds. The second is an Inbox. It surfaces what is still running, what needs your attention, and which PRs are waiting for review. It acts as a simple status board for the agents you have going.

A few smaller improvements were included in the same release. The app now supports Bitbucket and Azure DevOps in addition to the previous source-control options. When one chat produces multiple pull requests, every PR is accessible instead of only the last one. You can also switch between teams you belong to without leaving the app.

The mobile app is not a full code editor. There is no terminal, no file browser, and no real-time editing of source files. Those stay on the desktop app or the web Agents window. What the iPad version does well is the hand-off: start an agent on the phone or tablet, let it work in the cloud or on a machine you left running, then review the resulting diffs and merge when you are ready. Live Activities and push notifications keep you updated on progress without having to keep the app open.

Requirements are straightforward. The app needs iPadOS 26.0 or later. It is available in every App Store region except mainland China. The interface is English only for now. You need a paid Cursor plan to start agents. Free accounts can sign in but cannot launch work. Repositories must already be connected through the web dashboard; the mobile app does not set up new integrations. (Cursor currently ranks as one of our top picks in the Best 12 AI Coding Tools for Developers).

No Android version exists yet. Cursor has said one is planned, but there is no date.

You can download the app directly from the App Store. The official changelog and documentation pages give the full list of current capabilities and the small differences between phone and tablet layouts. This update does not change how Cursor works on the desktop. It simply makes the agent workflow usable on a larger portable screen with better side-by-side views and Apple Pencil support for visual notes. For anyone who already runs agents and needs to stay connected to pull requests while away from a keyboard, the iPad version is now a practical option.
