Alongside the announcement of GPT-4o, OpenAI announced the launch of the ChatGPT app for macOS, with a keyboard shortcut to integrate the chatbot with the operating system. The application is already available.
Already available on iPhone and Android smartphones, the ChatGPT application is coming to Mac. OpenAI officially announced the launch of a “desktop” version of ChatGPT on May 13, during its conference dedicated to the announcement of GPT-4o, its new language model. A Windows version will arrive “later this year”.
How to install ChatGPT on Mac? For now, the application is reserved for ChatGPT Plus subscribers, although it will undoubtedly be possible to install it with a free account.
How to install ChatGPT on Mac?
On the ChatGPT website, some ChatGPT Plus subscribers are asked to download the Mac installer (the application is not on the App Store).
If the option does not appear, it is possible to download the installer manually, retrieving the OpenAI DMG (some people who have access to it have made it available on third-party servers). But be careful, you have to log in to access it. Please note, not all ChatGPT Plus subscribers have access to it yet. If you are not whitelisted, the application will be blocked.
The Mac application is native, which means that it is not an adaptation of the iPadOS or web version of ChatGPT. The OpenAI teams have carried out real integration work.
The ChatGPT application, with a very simple interface, has a keyboard shortcut to request ChatGPT at any time. Option + Space calls up a menu similar to Spotlight, with image management. GPT-4o voice mode will be deployed soon.
Is this integration of ChatGPT into the Apple environment linked to the rumors of an Apple/OpenAI partnership in iOS 18? Response on June 10, at WWDC.
How to install ChatGPT on Windows?
Unfortunately, and despite its partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI reserves the ChatGPT application for macOS. You will have to come back “later this year” to benefit from it on Windows.
