Cursor
FeaturedOfficialby
An AI‑powered code editor that boosts developer productivity with intelligent autocompletion, natural‑language code editing, and deep codebase awareness.
Cursor Overview
What is Cursor about?
Cursor is an AI‑driven IDE that helps engineers write, edit, and understand code faster. It blends a familiar editor experience with advanced language models that can predict next edits, answer questions from the codebase, and execute changes via plain text prompts.
How to use Cursor?
- Download the macOS (or other platform) installer from the official website.
- Install the application like any desktop app.
- Open a project folder; the AI model is activated automatically.
- Use tab‑completion to accept suggested code, or type a natural‑language instruction (e.g., "rename this function to
fetchData") and press Enter to apply. - Enable Privacy Mode in settings if you prefer the code never leaves your machine.
Key Features
- Frontier Intelligence: Combines purpose‑built and state‑of‑the‑art models for fast, accurate suggestions.
- Familiar Extensions: Import VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings with a single click.
- Privacy Options: SOC 2‑certified; optional privacy mode prevents remote storage of your code.
- Codebase Q&A: Ask the model to locate definitions, explain snippets, or retrieve documentation directly from your repository.
- Natural‑Language Editing: Issue high‑level commands to refactor, add, or delete code across multiple files.
- Cross‑Platform Downloads: Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Use Cases
- Rapid Prototyping: Generate boilerplate code or scaffolding from a short description.
- Bug Hunting: Query the AI for potential causes of an error and receive suggested fixes.
- Team Onboarding: New developers can explore the codebase via conversational queries.
- Refactoring at Scale: Apply sweeping changes (e.g., rename a class) with a single natural‑language command.
- Learning Tool: Students can ask "how does this loop work?" and get an explanation in context.
FAQ
- Does Cursor store my code?
- By default, suggestions are processed locally. Enabling Privacy Mode ensures no code is sent to remote servers.
- Can I use my own LLM?
- Yes, the editor supports bring‑your‑own‑model configurations through the settings panel.
- Is it compatible with existing VS Code extensions?
- Most extensions can be imported; the UI offers a one‑click import wizard.
- What platforms are supported?
- macOS, Windows, and Linux binaries are provided.
- How does pricing work?
- A free tier is available; paid plans unlock higher compute limits and enterprise features.

Loved by world-class devs
Engineers all around the world reach for Cursor by choice.
Cursor is at least a 2x improvement over Copilot. It's amazing having an AI pair programmer, and is an incredible accelerator for me and my team.

The Cursor tab completion while coding is occasionally so magic it defies reality - about ~25% of the time it is anticipating exactly what I want to do. It is enough to make you believe that eventually you'll be able to code at the speed of thought.

Cursor is hands down my biggest workflow improvement in years

I love writing code and Cursor is a necessity. Cursor is steps ahead of my brain, proposing multi-line edits so I type 'tab' more than anything else.

Cursor is so good, and literally gets better/more feature-rich every couple of weeks.

Cursor is awesome! Someone finally put GPT into a code editor in a seamless way. It's so elegant and easy. No more copying and pasting. I'm an hour in and already hooked.

Cursor is the best AI developer tool right now, avoid it at your own peril

Started using Cursor yesterday & i'm blown away. it's how Copilot should feel. i'm completely off VSCode now.

Cursor is the best product I've used in a while - it's an AI enabled editor. I just asked it to write a README for a project I've been working on - analyzed the code-base and worked first time.

Cursor's new auto-complete is insane You no longer need to prompt it. It predicts what code you want based on what you're doing. Accept by hitting tab In this video I change the CSS class of one link. I then simply keep hitting tab to make the same change to all other links

I really like how Cursor suggests edits to existing code. It noticed I was inconsistent with my markup and popped up this suggestion that matched my other items!

The most useful AI tool that I currently pay for is, hands down, is Cursor It's fast, autocompletes when and where you need it to, handles brackets properly, sensible keyboard shortcuts, bring- your-own-model...everything is well put together.

I went from never hearing about Cursor to many IC engineers telling me it's their new favorite tool. Seemingly overnight! Pretty wild product-market fit.

After many recommendations, I finally switched from VSC to Cursor and ... wow! It's absolutely incredible. If you like Copilot (or if you don't), you'll be blown away by Cursor. There is no going back. 🤯

Cursor has changed the game. I really can't imagine writing code without it at this point. The switch from VSCode is easy, and now I have AI superpowers right in my editor and my terminal.
