Key Features

- Supports voice conversations when you would rather talk than type
- Lets you attach files and screenshots to your conversations
- Syncs your chat history across desktop, web and mobile apps
- Includes Chat, Work and Codex views in the current desktop app
How to Download
- Get the app from Download from the official site and save the installer.
- Open the downloaded file and move ChatGPT into your Applications folder.
- Launch the app and sign in with your OpenAI account to begin.
System Requirements
OpenAI publishes no version number for the desktop app, and the listing follows that lead. Recent builds need a current macOS release and an internet connection, since answers are generated online rather than on your Mac.
FAQs
Is the ChatGPT Mac app free?
The app itself is free to download and works with a free account. Paid plans exist for higher limits and extra features, and they are entirely optional.
Why are there two ChatGPT apps on some Macs?
OpenAI moved users to a newer desktop app and renamed the earlier one ChatGPT Classic. Both can sit side by side, and your history stays with your account.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
No. ChatGPT runs on OpenAI servers, so the Mac app needs to be online to answer, even though the app itself lives on your computer.
