Last week, OpenAI announced its plans to release a desktop ChatGPT app for Apple Inc.’s Mac users. While it is not currently available for everyone, I had a ChatGPT Plus subscription and got it working immediately, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some workarounds available.
What Happened: The new ChatGPT desktop app for Mac was announced at OpenAI’s GPT-4o event. It is currently only available to a select group of users with M-series chips in their Macs.
OpenAI has stated, “We have rolled out the macOS app to Plus and Team users, and we will make it more broadly available in the coming weeks. We also plan to launch a Windows version later this year.”
How To Download And Acess ChatGPT Desktop App On Mac For Free
Users who haven’t received an invite to download the app can manually download it. They can request a download link by logging into ChatGPT on the web, which will eventually provide the link. This workaround allows users to access the app without waiting for an official invite.
Another method to gain access to the app was shared on X and Reddit. It involves logging into the ChatGPT account and quitting the app at a specific point. After reopening the app, ChatGPT will be functional on the Mac. However, some users have reported issues with voice chat.
