ChatGPT for Mac is now broadly available to every Mac user as a free download, complete with the latest GPT capabilities. While some of you may have bypassed the waitlist to gain early access, the official ChatGPT Mac app is now is now available to anyone and everyone, all you need is an OpenAI account and any Apple Silicon Mac.
With instant ChatGPT access from anywhere via a keyboard shortcut; Option+Spacebar (obviously similar to Command+Spacebar for Spotlight), you’ll find that you can summon ChatGPT from anywhere on the Mac and access the chatbot and it’s valuable toolset right away. You can even upload images, screenshots, and files, and have ChatGPT interact with that data. For example, you might upload a script and ask ChatGPT to debug it for you or even to explain it’s function, or you might provide an image of something and ask for a description or to generate a new image based on that one but with additional elements. And all of the normal ChatGPT capabilities are available as well, including the handy voice chat features (and yes you can change the voice if you’d like to customize that part of the experience).
If you’re a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, you can gain full access to those features within the ChatGPT for Mac app as well.
With MacOS Sequoia set to include Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT access, Mac users who are not running Sequoia can gain access to a similar set of capabilities by using the official ChatGPT Mac client.
While this is the first official Mac client for ChatGPT, iPhone and iPad users have had access to the app for quite some time now. And of course, anyone can continue to use the service by directly using the OpenAI website too.
Whatever you feel about ChatGPT and AI, one thing is for certain and that is how quickly adoption is happening, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
