Cursor Overview
Cursor is a code editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux built around AI-assisted programming, created as a fork of Visual Studio Code so it keeps VS Code's familiar interface, extensions, and themes. Its focus is deep AI integration: you can chat with an AI about your codebase, ask it to write or edit code with awareness of your whole project, generate changes across multiple files, and accept AI-suggested completions as you type. Because it is based on VS Code, existing settings and extensions largely carry over, making it easy to adopt for developers who want AI built into the editor rather than added as a plugin. It uses a freemium model. The full offline installer bundles the application and installs without an internet connection, though AI features require connectivity.
