OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT app for Mac users: All the details

ChatGPT app for Mac

Mac users, OpenAI has some good news for you. It’s popular chatbot ChatGPT is now available as an app. Announced a few weeks back, OpenAI had been slowly making it available. However, now it is available for all Mac users to download.

For starters, you will need an M1 Mac as the app doesn’t run on Intel-powered Mac devices. “The desktop app is only available for macOS 14+ with Apple Silicon (M1 or better),” says OpenAI.

If you have a M1 or later Mac, then you can head to OpenAI’s website and download the app. It is available for free

The new desktop app lets you chat with the AI assistant and even add attachments like files, photos, and screenshots directly into your messages. A simple command Option + Space opens ChatGPT from any screen on your Mac. Need a hands-free experience? Just fire up Voice Mode and chat with ChatGPT using your voice. You can start a conversation or learn to practice a new language by simply tapping the headphone icon.

OpenAI is also rolling out a new, upgraded Voice Mode with even more features in the coming weeks, powered by its latest GPT-4o technology. However, it's not clear when the voice mode will be made available to users.

While no date has been revealed, OpenAI has said that a Windows ChatGPT will be coming later this year. "We had planned to start rolling this out in alpha to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users in late June, but need one more month to reach our bar to launch," said OpenAI.
