Google rolls out a native Gemini app for Mac
In Brief
Posted:
Google announced on Wednesday that it’s introducing a native Gemini app for Mac, catching up to rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic, which have had Mac apps for quite some time.
“Now, you can bring up Gemini from anywhere on your Mac with a quick shortcut (Option + Space) to get help instantly, without ever switching tabs,” Google explained in its blog post. “Whether you’re drafting a market report and need to verify a date or building a budget in a spreadsheet and need the right formula, you can get an answer and get right back to work.”
When using the new app, you’re able to share anything on your screen with Gemini to get help with what you’re looking at in the moment, including local files.
For example, if you’re looking at a complex chart, you could ask “What are the three biggest takeaways here?” and receive a summary.
The app also supports the ability to generate images with Nano Banana and videos with Veo.
The native macOS app is available to all Gemini users on macOS versions 15 and up, globally, starting today. It’s available for download at gemini.google/mac.
