Cursor adds Computer Use so agents can drive desktop apps

On October 23 Cursor shipped Computer Use, letting its in-IDE agent click, type and capture screens across GUI apps on a developer's machine, such as the iOS Simulator. On macOS the Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions go to a separate Cursor Computer Use helper app, not to Cursor or the terminal. No pricing change was announced.
