Where Cursor keeps its logs

Cursor logs to %APPDATA%\Cursor\logs\ on Windows.

Cursor logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/logs/ on macOS.

Paths are printed exactly as Cursor writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
