ChatGPT is now available for macOS with the release of a dedicated app

Open AI’s ChatGPT Mac application is now available to everyone, having been limited to only those with a ChatGPT Plus subscription for the last few months. The app installs just like any other native Mac app, as long as you have an up to date Apple Silicone M1 Mac or higher.

You can sign in with a Google account or create an account with your email address and once signed in you’ll be able to ask it questions through typing, or speak via the inbuilt speech to text utility. The app will also accept images and answer questions based on what it sees. There is also a handy keyboard shortcut for bringing up the ChatGPT search box giving Mac users almost native functionality as if it were built into Mac OS itself.

The app utilises GPT 4, which can (according to OpenAI) “solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem solving abilities”.

Interestingly, no dedicated ChatGPT app exists for Windows users, at least directly from OpenAI. (Windows users do get access to GPT4 - Turbo through Windows Copilot, though.) As this would probably present a conflict of interest for Microsoft, it’s not hard to see why no native Windows client has been released.

Considering OpenAI’s recently announced partnership with Apple, this likely won’t be the last we hear of ChatGPT being made available for Apple products.

If you want to give the native Mac app a try, it can be downloaded for free from here.
