Today, OpenAI announced the wider availability of its ChatGPT desktop application for macOS. Previously offered only to premium users, the app is now free to download for all.
The macOS app lets users interact with ChatGPT through voice commands or text input. A keyboard shortcut (Option+Space) launches a search bar where users can type their queries, similar to Apple’s Spotlight search function.

It’s not just text input; app users can interact with ChatGPT through various media. Users can upload files and photos, capture screenshots, or select text within documents for analysis by ChatGPT.
The app features a menu bar with different options like managing past conversations, enabling spell check, and adjusting text size. Additionally, a left sidebar provides access to a user’s chat history for reference.
The macOS app complements existing mobile applications available for Android and iPhone. A Windows desktop app is under development and expected to be released “later this year.”
