A desktop menubar application that puts ChatGPT one keyboard shortcut away on macOS. It wraps the ChatGPT web experience in an Electron app with a global hotkey (Cmd+Shift+G) for quick access.

Use cases

  • access chatgpt from the mac menubar
  • quickly open chatgpt with a keyboard shortcut anywhere
  • chatgpt desktop app for mac
  • keep chatgpt always available without a browser tab
  • menubar ai assistant for macos

When to choose

  • you want instant ChatGPT access from the macOS menubar
  • you prefer a lightweight wrapper over browser tabs
  • you rely on a global hotkey to summon an AI assistant

When to avoid

  • you need API-based features, plugins, or custom model selection
  • you want a maintained app - the project appears dormant since late 2023
  • you need Windows or Linux binaries
  • you prefer official OpenAI desktop clients with newer features
