Get paired, stay connected, recover safely.

Requirements

• Android 8 or newer.
• Cursor desktop with an authenticated cursor-agent CLI.
• A computer that remains awake and online while remote control is active.
• Install-from-unknown-apps permission for the direct preview APK.

Install and pair

• Install the Cursor extension from the downloaded .vsix.
• In Cursor's Extensions view, open More Actions, choose Install from VSIX, and select firecursor.vsix.
• Run FireCursor: Start Remote Control in Cursor.
• Install and open the Android preview APK.
• Enter your email in FireCursor and tap the secure sign-in link on the same phone. A referral code is optional and can be attached only when a new account is created.
• When Android asks, allow direct app installs only for the browser used to download the APK, then return to the download and tap Install.
• Scan the private QR code and keep it out of screenshots or shared logs.

Reconnect behavior

FireCursor stores the pairing token and both tunnel and same-network endpoints. When the phone can reach the computer over LAN, it can learn a refreshed tunnel endpoint automatically. If the tunnel rotates while the phone is remote and the LAN path is unavailable, pairing again may still be required.

Before contacting support

• Confirm cursor-agent is installed and authenticated.
• Restart remote control in Cursor and check the connection status.
• Verify the computer is online and not asleep.
• Include Android and extension versions plus a redacted error message.
• Never send a pairing token, QR code, API key, credential, or private source file.
