Early Access Program

Access experimental features and early releases in Cursor
Cursor offers an early access program that gives you early access to new and experimental features. While these features can be exciting, they may be less stable than our standard features.
Beta features are experimental and may contain bugs or unexpected behavior. We recommend staying on standard settings if you need a stable development environment.

Joining the Early Access Program#

To join the early access program and receive pre-release updates:
1.
Open Cursor Settings
Access the settings menu from the Cursor application with CMD+Shift+J on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows and Linux.
2.
Navigate to the Beta menu
Find and select the Beta menu in settings sidebar.
3.
Choose the 'Early Access' option
Find the ‘Update frequency’ dropdown and select ‘Early Access’ to opt in.

4.
Await the next update
Wait for the next early access update to be available, and you will recieve it automatically.

Leaving the Early Access Program#

If you decide you no longer want to be part of the early access program, you can opt out by toggling the ‘Update frequency’ dropdown to ‘Standard’ in the settings menu.
Then, either wait for the next update to take effect, or redownload Cursor’s latest stable release from cursor.com.

⚠️ Warnings#

Beta features are experimental and may contain bugs or unexpected behavior.
We may be unable to provide support for users on the Early Access version.
Beta features may change or be removed without notice as we gather feedback and make improvements.

💡 Feedback#

We value your feedback on beta features. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please report bugs through our Forum, making sure to specify that you are on an early access version.
