About

Cursor is a VS Code fork that puts an AI agent at the center of the editing experience rather than bolted on as a sidebar. The agent reads your codebase, plans changes, edits files across the project, and runs commands without you leaving the editor. It works across desktop, CLI, browser, and mobile, and integrates with GitHub, Slack, Linear, and JetBrains IDEs so you can trigger agents from wherever your workflow already lives. The free tier is genuinely useful, and the Pro plan raises limits for heavier daily use.

Reads and edits across your full codebase, not just the file you have open
