ChatGPT Now Can Be Seamlessly Used in Apple Notes App on macOS

by · The Mac Observer

OpenAI has rolled out an update for macOS users which extends ChatGPT‘s ability to read and interact with on-screen content to Apple Notes. This new feature allows Mac users to use ChatGPT directly within the Notes app.

Mac users can now use ChatGPT within Apple Notes by:

  1. Open the Apple Notes app on your Mac.
  2. Select the note you want ChatGPT to interact with.
  3. Press Option + Shift + 1 to bring up the ChatGPT bar.
  4. Type your queries about the on-screen content or activate the advanced voice mode for hands-free interaction, as reported by Croma.

The integration is currently available exclusively for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Team, and Edu subscribers on macOS. Free-tier users will need to wait until 2025, when OpenAI plans to expand support further.

To enable this feature:

  • Open ChatGPT settings.
  • Turn on the “Work with Apps” option.
  • Grant necessary permissions through “Manage Apps.”

OpenAI says that users have complete control over which apps ChatGPT can access.
