Cursor in Threadlines

A desktop GUI for the Cursor CLI

Cursor's agent also runs outside the editor, as the cursor-agent CLI. Threadlines drives it with your Cursor sign-in, so Cursor's models sit next to your other agents.

Questions

Do I need the Cursor editor?

No. Threadlines uses Cursor's command-line agent, which installs on its own. You need a Cursor CLI from April 2026 or later.

Does it use my Cursor subscription?

Yes. The CLI uses your Cursor sign-in, so turns count against your Cursor plan.

What does it cost?

Threadlines is free and MIT-licensed. You only pay for your Cursor plan.
