[Feature Request] Add Devin Desktop as a file open destination in Codex App

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 25, 2026 by MinersWin

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex App on macOS

What feature would you like to see?

Please add Devin Desktop as a supported file/folder open destination in the Codex App.

Windsurf has been renamed/rebranded to Devin Desktop, but the Codex App's "Default file open destination" dropdown still only shows VS Code, Cursor, Finder, Terminal, etc. It does not show Devin, and there is no "Other..." option to select a custom VS Code-compatible editor.

The installed Devin app is a VS Code fork and supports the same CLI-style open behavior via:

/Applications/Devin.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/devin-desktop

It also still carries Windsurf compatibility metadata:

Bundle ID: com.exafunction.windsurf
URL schemes: devin, windsurf

Expected behavior:

  • Codex App should show "Devin" in the default file open destination dropdown when /Applications/Devin.app is installed.
  • Opening a project/file from Codex should use Devin's CLI:

/Applications/Devin.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/devin-desktop

  • Alternatively, the dropdown could support an "Other..." / custom editor path option for VS Code-compatible forks.

Additional information

Current workaround is to create a fake Windsurf compatibility path, because Codex appears to detect the old Windsurf binary path:

~/Applications/Windsurf.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/windsurf

and point it to:

/Applications/Devin.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/devin-desktop

This works, but it is fragile and not something normal users should need to do.
