OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Mac app is now available to everyone

Over the last month, OpenAI has gradually been rolling out its first-ever ChatGPT app for Mac with Plus subscribers. Starting today, however, OpenAI says that the ChatGPT app for macOS is now available to everyone.

OpenAI touts that the ChatGPT app for macOS is designed to “integrate seamlessly into anything you’re doing on your computer.” The app was built to be native to the Mac and offers an easy keyboard shortcut to launch it from anywhere (CMD + Space).

The ChatGPT app for macOS lets you easily interact with the chatbot. You can also choose to attach things like files, photos, and screenshots to your messages and have ChatGPT use that material.

You can also access the Voice Mode feature to interact with ChatGPT using your vice. OpenAI says that a new version of Voice Mode with GPT-4o capabilities will be available on the Mac within the coming weeks.

For both free and paid users, we’re also launching a new ChatGPT desktop app for macOS that is designed to integrate seamlessly into anything you’re doing on your computer. With a simple keyboard shortcut (Option + Space), you can instantly ask ChatGPT a question. You can also take and discuss screenshots directly in the app.

You can now have voice conversations with ChatGPT directly from your computer, starting with Voice Mode that has been available in ChatGPT at launch, with GPT-4o’s new audio and video capabilities coming in the future. Whether you want to brainstorm a new idea for your company, prepare for an interview or have a topic you’d like to discuss, tap the headphone icon in the bottom right corner of the desktop app to start a voice conversation. 

You can download the ChatGPT app for macOS from OpenAI’s website. It’s available for free, while ChatGPT Plus subscribers can sign in and access their full account.
