Yes. Cursor is available as a desktop app on both Windows and macOS (and it also supports Linux). In day-to-day terms, that means you can install the same “Cursor” IDE on Windows and on a Mac, sign in with the same account, and work on the same repositories with the same core editor features (projects, tabs, extensions, Git integration, AI chat/agent tooling). Cursor is positioned as a full IDE, not a web-only tool, so “availability” here is primarily about having a native desktop build you can run locally. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Under the hood, Cursor’s cross-platform story is helped by its lineage: it’s widely described as a fork of Visual Studio Code with additional AI features. That matters because the VS Code ecosystem is already built around cross-platform Electron-based distribution, extension compatibility, and language-server workflows, which Cursor can inherit. Practically, you get the same shape of workflow on Windows and Mac: open a folder, let Cursor index the repo, then use AI features (autocomplete and agent-style edits) alongside traditional IDE features (linting, formatting, debugging). If you’re maintaining a team codebase across OSes, you should still rely on repo-level tooling (formatter configs, CI checks, pre-commit hooks) rather than assuming the editor keeps everyone consistent—Cursor helps you make changes faster, but your automated checks keep changes correct across platforms. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
This also ties into AI application development workflows where different teammates run different OSes. For example, if part of your project is building semantic search or retrieval features, one engineer might implement ingestion on Windows while another tests the API on macOS; Cursor being available on both platforms reduces friction when sharing “how-to” steps and editor-based workflows. A common pattern is using Cursor to quickly scaffold the code that chunks documents, generates embeddings, and writes vectors plus metadata into a vector database such as Milvus or Zilliz Cloud (managed Milvus). The editor doesn’t replace your runtime environment, but cross-platform availability helps you keep development workflows consistent while your actual pipeline remains OS-agnostic. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
