137## Developer mode

138 

139Developer mode works with Browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser.

140It gives Codex controlled access to the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Use it

141when you want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network

142traffic, examine page state such as the DOM and applied styles, or diagnose an

143issue directly in the live browser.

144 

145To enable it, open [**Settings > Browser**](codex://settings/browser-use) and,

146under **Developer mode**, turn on **Enable full CDP access**. If your

147organization has disabled this setting, you can't enable it locally.

148 

149Full CDP access lets Codex inspect and control sensitive browser internals that

150may put your data at risk. Codex asks for explicit approval before it uses full

151CDP to inspect a website. Review the site, task, and requested access before you

152approve it.

153 

154Use `@Browser` for the in-app browser. To use Developer mode in Chrome,

155[set up the Codex Chrome extension](https://developers.openai.com/codex/app/chrome-extension) and invoke

156`@Chrome`.

157 

158For example:

159 

160```text

161This app is slow. Use @Browser to capture a performance trace and inspect

162network traffic, then identify the bottleneck.

114On Windows, Computer Use stores persistent app decisions in

115`$CODEX_HOME/computer-use/config.toml`. List apps that Computer Use can open

116without prompting and apps that it must decline:

124Use the app identifier that Windows Computer Use reports, such as an executable

125name for a desktop app or an app user model ID for a packaged app. Denied apps

126take precedence over allowed apps. Codex prompts for apps that don't appear in

127either list.

129This file stores local Computer Use decisions. It's separate from the

305### Restrict locked computer use

306 

307To prevent [Computer Use](https://developers.openai.com/codex/app/computer-use#locked-use) from operating

308after a managed Mac locks, add this requirement:

309 

310```toml

311[computer_use]

312allow_locked_computer_use = false

313```

314 

315This requirement doesn't enable Computer Use. It only prevents locked use on

316macOS. If you omit it, locked use remains unconstrained by requirements and is

317still subject to normal product availability and the user's local setting.
