The ChatGPT macOS app was first launched in mid-May for ChatGPT Plus subscribers and is now available to all users without any subscription plan. You can download the ChatGPT Mac app on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. I regularly use ChatGPT by visiting the OpenAI website in a browser on my MacBook. Now that a dedicated ChatGPT app is available to all Mac users, my life is much easier. The app has a clean and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to get around.
ChatGPT for macOS: 5 Reasons to Download It!
After testing the ChatGPT app for Mac, I have come across several useful features that are not available in the web version of ChatGPT. In this article, I will share 5 ChatGPT macOS app features that are very useful for me. Hear from me!
One of the biggest wins with the ChatGPT macOS app is faster access to the AI chatbot. Thanks to the "Option + Spacebar" keyboard shortcut, I can instantly call up the ChatGPT launcher from whatever app I'm currently using. As soon as I press the keys, a text field opens over my current window or app. Here I can click the save button and upload files or even a screenshot right from my Mac's screen. I don't even need to open the ChatGPT app for image analysis. I mean, what a convenience! It feels like how we all use the shortcut "Command + Space" to use Spotlight search on Mac. Honestly, it offers a native app experience.
When I type a question and hit the return key, the ChatGPT app window opens with an answer to my question.
