Now available: The Gemini app for Mac

Today, we’re bringing the Gemini app to macOS as a native desktop experience, designed to live right where you work. It’s always just a keyboard shortcut away, allowing you to quickly get the help you need without losing your focus.

Here are a few ways you can use it right now:

  • Stay in your flow: Switching between windows can be clunky and slow. Now, you can bring up Gemini from anywhere on your Mac with a quick global shortcut (Option + Space) to get help instantly. Whether you’re drafting a market report and need to verify a date, working on a research paper and need to cite a source, or building a spreadsheet and need the right formula, you can get your answer and get right back to work.
  • Share your window for instant context: With our new native experience, you can share anything on your screen with Gemini to get help with exactly what you’re looking at. If you’re reviewing a complex chart, simply share your window and ask, "What are the three biggest takeaways here?" to get an instant summary without breaking your stride.
Starting today, the native macOS app is available to Gemini users on macOS versions 15 and up, globally.

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature is ON by default for all organizations with Gemini enabled. The Gemini app and related in-app tools are controlled by the Generative AI settings in the Workspace Admin console. The Gemini app for Mac is subject to these existing controls. Visit the Help Center for more information on turning the Gemini app on or off.
  • End users: To get the app, visit gemini.google/mac and select "Download for Mac." Once installed, sign in with your work or school Google Account.
