When OpenAI announced GPT-4o, one of the more exciting pieces of news was that its beloved ChatGPT app would come to Mac. It's been pretty quiet since then, but the company has officially released the app, making it available to many Mac users.
On the Mac app's website, ChatGPT cites its ability to "Chat about email, screenshots, files, and anything on your screen."
If you want to download ChatGPT on your Mac, you can head to OpenAI's website and click Download to get the DMG file. Install it as you would any other application and see if having ChatGPT on your Mac is a workflow changer or simply a fun distraction for making interesting AI images.
We tested the Mac app in its beta form and found it to be quite capable. "The addition of the new multimodal GPT-4o model gives the app faster response times, improved reasoning and better understanding of pictures and other content types," said Tom's Guide AI Editor Ryan Morrison.
It's a free app, and you don't need a paid ChatGPT subscription, so if you have a compatible Mac, there's no reason not to download it and see if you like it.
