Description
Leave your laptop behind and keep working. Drive the real Cursor on your computer from your phone: answer the Agent's questions, approve commands, give it the next task (queued while it's busy), keep or undo changed files. Works in local, SSH remote and Agents windows; switch model and effort. Push notifications when the Agent waits on you. Code stays on your computer; the phone connects via a Cloudflare tunnel. Android app + iPhone. Free, MIT, self-hosted.

Could you build this?
Partial Controlling a proprietary closed-source IDE like Cursor remotely requires undocumented IPC reverse engineering or OS-level UI automation.
What it would actually take: Requires either a local daemon that injects into Cursor's VS Code extension ecosystem / Language Server Protocol or an accessibility-based UI automation agent paired with a WebSocket relay service and mobile client. The challenge is safely reading internal Agent states and executing approvals when the target application lacks an official public external API. Requires deep knowledge of VS Code extensions, IPC sockets, and reverse engineering Electron applications.
