Toolbox App 3.3: Introducing jetbrainsd, an Improved Linux Experience, and More

Lana Novikova

Toolbox App 3.3 introduces jetbrainsd – a lightweight background service that lays the foundation for cross-IDE features like protocol handling. This release also brings significant stability improvements for Linux users, smoother plugin updates, and a number of bug fixes across all platforms.

jetbrainsd

Toolbox App 3.3 ships with the jetbrainsd service – a new lightweight background process that starts automatically when you launch the Toolbox App.

What this means for you:

• jetbrains:// links now route through the daemon instead of the Toolbox App itself, providing a more reliable experience when opening links from browsers, documentation, or external applications.

• The service is managed automatically by the Toolbox App – it installs, starts, and updates alongside the Toolbox App.

Read more in the docs.

Improved Linux experience

Linux users will notice several stability improvements in this release. Highlights include:

• The Toolbox App widget no longer stays stuck on top of windows after the app restarts or updates on Linux.

• The Toolbox App no longer shuts down instantly or fails to restart during the update process.

• If you previously couldn’t log in to the Toolbox App on a fresh GNOME setup due to a missing secret collection, you can now authenticate successfully.

• The .desktop file now uses relative icon paths instead of absolute ones, improving compatibility with different Linux setups.

Plugin updates without restart

Plugins can now be updated without restarting the application. Previously, after distributing a new plugin version to the plugin directory, you had to restart the Toolbox App to load the updated version. This is no longer necessary, as the Toolbox App will pick up plugin changes automatically.

Remote development fixes

• The Toolbox App remote agent now properly stops when you select Close and Stop and disconnect via SSH, instead of remaining active in the background.

• The app no longer crashes with an RpcClient was cancelled error when navigating to SSH remote development targets after restarting your machine.
