Unlock Computer Use in Codex.app (EU / region-locked accounts)

OpenAI's Codex desktop app ships with a Computer Use plugin (computer-use@openai-bundled) but hides it from users in regions where the feature isn't rolled out yet — including most of the EU. The plugin binary is already on your machine (/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/openai-bundled/computer-use/); only the UI is gated.

This guide flips two flags so the plugin appears in your plugin picker.

Tested on: macOS 15 (arm64), Codex.app version 26.506.31421 (May 2026 build). Difficulty: Intermediate. You'll edit a TOML config and binary-patch Codex's Electron bundle. Risk: Low. We back up everything we touch and never change file lengths. Time: ~5 minutes.
