Macgpt

Macgpt is a native macOS application that brings ChatGPT-style AI assistance directly to your desktop, menu bar, and keyboard workflows. Its primary purpose is to make AI access seamless across all Mac applications, allowing users to invoke and interact with large language models without leaving their current context. By integrating deeply with macOS, Macgpt reduces friction in everyday tasks such as writing, summarizing, coding, and research.

The tool offers a system-wide hotkey to open an AI prompt window anywhere, support for both OpenAI and custom API keys, and the ability to run multiple conversations in parallel. It integrates with the macOS menu bar for quick access, supports context-aware prompts, and can work with selected text from any app for instant rewriting, translation, or explanation. Macgpt also provides configurable prompt templates, conversation history management, and options to control model parameters directly within the interface. Its lightweight design focuses on speed and privacy, relying on your own API keys so you retain control over usage and data.
