MacGPT

MacGPT is a native application designed for macOS that provides users with quick access to ChatGPT right from their menu bar. With over 300,000 users, it allows seamless interaction with the powerful language model by simply clicking the icon. The application features options like Global and Inline modes, which require macOS Ventura or newer and an OpenAI API key to function. The latest update introduces support for the new GPT-4o model, which is notably faster and more cost-effective, making it an attractive solution for users who need efficient AI interaction.

The Global feature enables users to access ChatGPT from any application on their Mac, while the Inline feature allows for direct integration within text fields, enhancing productivity. Users can engage in conversations without using their keyboard through the Conversation Mode, which offers a hands-free experience. Setting up is straightforward: log in with your OpenAI credentials, and you can start chatting immediately. For those looking for enhanced functionality, advanced prompting options are in development for both Inline and native modes, ensuring that the tool continues to evolve and meet user needs.
