Ability to use Apple Shortcuts for custom commands enhances productivity
Available features similar to iPhone version, but with added convenience
OpenAI introduces native Mac app for ChatGPT
Seamless integration and improved accessibility on Apple computers
OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) company, has recently introduced native Mac apps for its renowned AI chatbot, ChatGPT. This new development allows users to enjoy seamless integration and improved accessibility of the chatbot on their Apple computers.
The ChatGPT app for Mac offers various features that are similar to its iPhone version. One significant advantage is the ability to use Apple Shortcuts for custom commands, such as starting voice conversations or assigning specific tasks. This feature enhances productivity and streamlines user experience.
Before the release of this desktop application, users had to rely on accessing ChatGPT through web browsers or mobile versions. However, with the new Mac app integration, users can now enjoy a more integrated and convenient experience without disrupting their workflow.
OpenAI's ChatGPT has been available for smartphones since mid-2023, with both iPhone and iOS versions being released first. The Android version followed shortly after, but it was initially exclusive to certain countries. Since then, OpenAI has reported a massive surge in revenue from mobile platforms due to the popularity of the paid version of ChatGPT.
The new ChatGPT app for Mac is an excellent addition for macOS users who frequently use this platform for their daily tasks. It offers a more seamless and integrated experience compared to accessing it through web browsers or mobile versions, making it a valuable tool in the user's workflow.
OpenAI announced the release of a desktop ChatGPT app for Mac in the coming weeks.
Users can take a screenshot of any open app window or their entire desktop and query it with ChatGPT.
ChatGPT can extract text from images, format it in HTML as an unordered list, or summarize top critics’ reviews for albums from the text.
Users can access their conversation history and switch between different versions of ChatGPT in the main app window.
Accuracy
ChatGPT users can invoke the app’s Launcher using a keyboard shortcut Option Space.
The Launcher window floats above any open windows and provides quick access to several features like taking a screenshot or attaching files.

The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses their opinion that the ChatGPT Mac app is a useful addition to the user's workflow and provides examples of how it can be helpful. However, they do not provide any objective evidence or facts to support these claims beyond their own experiences and opinions. Additionally, they only report details that support their position, such as the ability to take screenshots and query them with ChatGPT, without mentioning potential limitations or drawbacks of the app.
Using the keyboard shortcut Option + Space, you can instantly invoke the app’s Launcher and ask the conversational AI to help you with some task or project.
For example, we queried a screenshot of a recent MacRumors article covering Apple Music’s Top 10 Albums of All Time, and asked ChatGPT to provide a summary of top critics’ reviews for each album.
After testing the app for a few days, we thought it was worth sharing some reasons why ChatGPT users may find that the Mac app is a useful addition to their AI-assisted workflow.
