MacAssistant is a macOS application that integrates the Google Assistant into the Mac menu bar using the Google Assistant SDK. It is written in Swift and lets users issue voice queries like weather, calendar, and general knowledge questions.

Use cases

  • run google assistant on my mac
  • ask weather and calendar questions by voice on macos
  • menu bar voice assistant for mac
  • use google assistant sdk from a native mac app
  • hands-free queries like 'what's on my agenda tomorrow'

When to choose

  • you want Google Assistant on macOS with a native menu bar app
  • you prefer a Swift/Cocoa client over the CLI-based Google Assistant SDK sample
  • you're comfortable supplying your own OAuth credentials

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained project - releases are infrequent and it's labeled beta
  • you don't want to create Google Developer Console OAuth credentials
  • you need Siri or offline voice assistance
