What issue are you seeing?

My Codex Mac app does not display any of my JetBrains IDEs when attempting to open projects. It shows applications like Cursor, Finder, Terminal, Warp, and Xcode, but not the JetBrains IDEs I have installed. I have DataSpell, PyCharm, IntelliJ, and WebStorm installed, and they are all working fine and up to date.

The issue seems to be that Codex is expecting apps only from the main applications folder, located at the root of the Mac drive (/Applications). However, when installed via the JetBrains Toolbox, all apps are installed in the user’s home folder under ~/Applications. To resolve this, Codex should be updated to allow IDEs to be pulled from the user’s home folder’s applications folder as well.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Install JetBrains IDEs via the JetBrains Toolbox App.

What is the expected behavior?

JetBrains IDEs should be detected, despite being in ~/Applications.
