## What is Pocket Pair?

An AI coding companion built for Cursor. Steer a local Agent from iPhone: scan to pair with your Mac, send tasks, follow up, and watch progress. Work stays in your own folders. No Git remote required.

Step away from your desk. Keep the work moving. Pocket Pair puts the Cursor Agent on your Mac into your pocket—start the companion in Terminal, pair, then prompt from anywhere.

HOW TO START
1. On your Mac, open Terminal, paste this, and press Return: npx github:Huluzai/cursor-remote-sidecar
2. The first time, a browser window opens. Sign in to Cursor (once)
3. When Terminal shows a QR code and a 6-digit number, scan it in Pocket Pair, or type the IP and code

iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi‑Fi, or both on Tailscale.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Dispatch AI coding work in a local folder: refactor, fix bugs, add tests, write docs
• Follow up or cancel while thinking and tool steps stream in
• Pick the folder, model, and reasoning effort
• Dictate with your voice; get a notification when a task finishes
• Track a run from the Lock Screen with Live Activities
• Archive active chats; archived history is read-only

FREE AND PRO
The free plan keeps up to 3 active chats. Pocket Pair Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited active chats on this device. Archived chats stay available to browse.

PLEASE NOTE
• You need a Mac with Node, kept awake, with the companion running
• Pairing details stay on this device
• Pocket Pair is an independent third-party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anysphere or Cursor
