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
