Delightful mindmapping without cognitive load
Brainstorms shows one node and only its most relevant connections at a time, so a growing map never turns into an overwhelming visual tangle.
Keep a visible trail of how your thinking moved through an idea, so you can retrace your exploration instead of losing your place.
Link ideas by dragging on a node's borders, double-click to rename, right-click to add — fast, keyboard-light interaction for capturing ideas as they come.
Embed images and audio clips from the web directly into your map so context travels with the concept.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
