ChatGPT has a new macOS app, Windows version launching later this year

The ChatGPT desktop app also supports voice conversations and will soon incorporate GPT-4o’s audio and video capabilities. Currently, access to the ChatGPT app for macOS is limited to Plus subscribers, with plans to extend availability to all users soon.

Numerous fake ChatGPT apps are on the Mac App Store, and the official app has yet to be listed on the platform. Some users have reported downloading the app directly from OpenAI’s directory. Upon attempting to log in, they are greeted with a ‘coming soon’ message, and access appears restricted to Plus users who pay $20 a month for premium ChatGPT services.

According to screenshots of the ChatGPT app for macOS, it appears optimised for the desktop environment, similar to the updated web version. It features a resizeable window and allows users to directly upload screenshots of photos or text to ask questions based on them.

ChatGPT has adhered to an Apple-first approach, initially releasing its mobile app for iPhone with the Android version following a few months later. Similarly, the desktop app is currently available for Mac users, with confirmation from the company that a ChatGPT app for Windows will be released later this year.
