Introducing Cursor for iOS: the best way to build, review, and ship software from anywhere. Kick off and manage agents to implement changes, fix bugs, and keep projects moving forward while you're away from your desk. BUILD FROM ANYWHERE With Cursor in your pocket, you can start new work the moment inspiration strikes. Launch agents directly from your phone to implement features, investigate issues, or answer questions about your codebase. Track progress across long-running agents and review completed work no matter where you are. Cursor helps you think through complex problems with a deep understanding of your codebase. VERIFY WORK WITH DEMOS Agents can test changes in their own sandbox and iterate until they've validated their output. Cursor can produce artifacts like videos, screenshots, and logs, so you can quickly verify its work before moving to the next step. By giving agents their own virtual machines with full development environments, they are able to work more autonomously to create merge-ready PRs. POINT AND DRAW TO FIX Take a screenshot, circle an issue, and drop comments to give agents visual feedback directly on images. Cursor understands annotations and uses them as context to make precise updates. Visual inputs help shrink the distance between what you see and what the agent understands. This allows you to iterate faster when refining UI, fixing visual bugs, or communicating design changes. SHIP CODE FROM YOUR PHONE Review pull requests and inspect changes through a focused diff experience designed for mobile. From quick fixes to major features, Cursor makes it easy to move between files and commits. Understand what changed and merge high-quality code with confidence. TALK TO CURSOR Use voice mode to communicate what you want without typing. Brainstorm ideas, explain bugs, plan features, tackle a difficult technical challenge, or request changes out loud. Cursor turns conversations into actionable engineering work, allowing you to stay in flow and capture ideas as they come to you. BUILT FOR MODERN SOFTWARE TEAMS Cursor is designed to help individuals and teams build ambitious software. Always use the best model for the task at hand with access to any frontier model from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Cursor's own agentic model, Composer, delivers frontier-level intelligence while optimizing for speed and token-efficiency. With Cursor for iOS, you can: • Launch coding agents from anywhere • Track and manage active engineering work • Review screenshots and videos of changes • Annotate images to provide visual feedback • Inspect diffs and merge pull requests • Talk to agents with voice conversations • Understand unfamiliar codebases faster Whether you’re maintaining production systems or building your next side project, Cursor helps you turn your ideas into working software from anywhere. ——— Terms of Service: https://cursor.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://cursor.com/privacy © 2026 Anysphere, Inc.

About

DevNoty

Read full description

Devnoty is a notes app built for indie devs — and the humans they are when they're not coding. Most notes apps were built for everyone. This one was built for you: the people who live in terminals, editors, and code reviews. Markdown-native. Monospace-first. Terminal-themed. Dark-only. WHAT YOU GET ▸ Markdown editor with live preview Write in raw markdown, tap to switch to preview. Headings, bold, italic, syntax-highlighted code blocks, lists, blockquotes, links — all rendered the way devs expect. ▸ Markdown keyboard toolbar Bold, italic, inline code, H1, H2, lists, blockquotes, links, fenced code blocks — every common markdown operation as a one-tap button above the keyboard. No more poking at asterisks on iOS. ▸ File-tree organization Folders that nest like a real filesystem. Long-press to rename or delete. Move notes between folders. Reads like a project directory, because that's how you already think. ▸ Tags Add #tags to any note. Browse and search across your whole library. ▸ Separate journal A second tab for the human side. One entry per day, date-organized. For your journey, mood, what you shipped, what you didn't. ▸ Full-text search grep-style search across notes and journal at the same time. Tap any result to jump straight into the editor. ▸ Pinned notes Star important notes — they float to the top, always. ▸ Three sort orders, both directions By modified, by created, by name — ascending or descending. Persists across launches. ▸ Markdown export Share any note as a real .md file. AirDrop to your Mac, save to iCloud Drive, email it, open it in Cursor, VS Code, or Obsidian. Your data, your formats, your freedom. ▸ Tokyo Night aesthetic Built around the Tokyo Night palette you already know from your editor. JetBrains Mono throughout. Terminal-style bracketed labels, ASCII dividers, vim-inspired touches. DESIGNED FOR · Developers who keep tech notes, snippets, investigation logs, and architecture sketches on the go · Devs who want their notes app to feel like part of their toolchain — not Apple Notes in a turtleneck · Anyone who lives in a code editor and wants the same vibe on their phone · People who appreciate good typography and serious dark themes ABOUT Devnoty is an indie app, made with care. Send feature requests through the in-app feedback button — every email gets read.
