FAQ
The remote development functionalities are included with paid JetBrains IDEs that support remote development workflows, so you need a valid IDE subscription to use them. For example, to run IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate remotely, you’ll need either an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate or All Products Pack subscription. This policy applies to individual and commercial subscriptions, with the exception of corporate users who use orchestration solutions.
Remote development is not supported in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition or PyCharm. You’ll need to upgrade your subscription to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate or PyCharm Pro.
Since the start of the Toolbox App 2.6 EAP, developers have been eager to explore the new remote development features. We’ve received positive feedback from early users who have already integrated it into their workflows.
The Toolbox App’s remote development support leverages OpenSSH, offering enterprise-level security and flexibility. Simply import your SSH settings and start working. This approach supports advanced features such as ProxyJump, MFA, reverse proxy, custom IdentityFile settings, askpass integration, and even the ability to replace the SSH binary. By using familiar OpenSSH tools, the Toolbox App makes remote connections secure, customizable, and easy to set up.
