Depending on your team’s tasks and needs, you may benefit from orchestration in your workflows.
Provide remote development environments for whole teams and projects.
Avoid the overhead of lifecycle management with automated smart resource usage.
Easily set up teams of any size with development environments.
Centralize control for tooling, versions, and resources.
The source code is isolated and executed in the cloud.
Whether you’re already taking advantage of orchestration platforms or just exploring, you can give these powerful solutions a try. Run the backend of your IDEs remotely, hosted in the cloud or on-premises, and see for yourself how much more efficient your remote development workflows become.

The Toolbox App makes remote connections secure, customizable, and easier than ever.
Connect to remote hosts running Linux, Windows, or macOS.
Leverage SSH to connect – secure, familiar, and flexible.
If it works on your terminal, it’ll work in the Toolbox App, too.
Install, access, update, and monitor your JetBrains IDEs just as easily as you do locally.
A remote experience tailored to you with extensibility through plugins.
If you already have SSH connections set up in your SSH config or JetBrains Gateway, there’s no need to start from scratch. Just import your existing configurations into the Toolbox App and continue working without any extra setup!
Install the Toolbox App
The easiest way to start remote development with JetBrains IDEs.
It’s free.
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.
