MacOS Unveils New ChatGPT App, Windows Version Set to Launch Later This Year!

Streamline Access: Mac Users Gain Quick AI Chatbot Access with Dedicated App Shortcut

On Monday, ChatGPT unveiled its latest flagship model, the GPT-4o, catering to both Plus and free users and boasting multimodal capabilities. Additionally, the company debuted its inaugural desktop app for macOS, with a Windows version slated for release later this year.

The new macOS app, provided at no cost, maximizes the potential of GPT-4o and seamlessly integrates into the operating system, offering functionality across various applications and services. Users can conveniently access it via a shortcut (Option + Space).

Moreover, the ChatGPT desktop app supports voice interactions and is set to incorporate GPT-4o’s audio and video features in the near future. Initially available to Plus subscribers, plans are underway to make it accessible to all users soon.

Despite numerous counterfeit ChatGPT apps on the Mac App Store, the official version has yet to be listed. Some users have resorted to downloading the app directly from OpenAI’s directory. However, upon login attempts, they encounter a 'coming soon' message, with access restricted to Plus subscribers, who pay $20 monthly for premium services.

Screenshots reveal that the ChatGPT macOS app is optimized for desktop use, akin to the updated web version. It offers a resizable window and enables users to directly upload screenshots of images or text to generate related queries.

Adhering to an Apple-first strategy, ChatGPT initially launched its mobile app for iPhone, with an Android counterpart following later. Similarly, the desktop app is currently exclusive to Mac users, although the company has confirmed plans for a Windows release later this year.
