Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on VS Code, where an agent can plan, write, and refactor text directly — handy for drafting technical notes and documentation.
AI-first code editor built on a fork of VS Code, so it keeps the familiar editor, extensions, and settings. Composer and agent mode let an AI assistant read your files, plan changes, and apply edits across multiple documents. Tab autocomplete predicts the next lines you type, useful for fast note and doc drafting. Chat with your whole codebase or Markdown folder for context-aware answers. Multi-model choice (Claude, GPT, Grok, and more). Rules and MCP support to shape agent behavior. Maintains full VS Code extension compatibility. Free tier included, Pro from $20/month. Popular among developers for its agentic workflows. Because it is a general text editor, it handles Markdown notes, docs, and plain-text writing naturally too.
