Codex Desktop: Computer Use / "Any application" option missing on macOS Intel
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

What subscription do you have?

What platform is your computer?
macOS 13.7.8 Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz
What issue are you seeing?
In Codex Desktop, the Computer Use / "Any application" option is missing. I only see browser-related options such as Browser and Chrome.
codex plugin list shows Browser and Chrome plugins installed and enabled, but there is no computer-use, desktop-control, or arbitrary-application-control plugin available.
Codex Desktop version: 26.601.21317
Codex CLI version: 0.136.0-alpha.2
I would like to know whether Computer Use / arbitrary desktop application control is gated by account, rollout channel, macOS version, Intel CPU architecture, model provider, or Codex Desktop version, and how to enable it if it should be available.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex Desktop on macOS.
- Start a new local Codex thread.
- Open the tools / computer control options in the composer.
- Look for the Computer Use / "Any application" option.
- Run
codex plugin listin a terminal to verify installed and available plugins.
Expected result:
The Computer Use / "Any application" option should be visible or installable if the feature is supported.
Actual result:
Only Browser and Chrome-related options are visible. codex plugin list shows browser@openai-bundled and chrome@openai-bundled installed and enabled, but no computer-use, desktop-control, or arbitrary-application-control plugin is listed.
What is the expected behavior?
