"The Mac Gemini app, built entirely in Swift, includes a full spate of Gemini features and model types. You can upload files, create notebooks, and access tools like Deep Research and Canvas right on your desktop."
"Opening the app is similar to how you access the Windows search app—hit Option + Space at any time to pull up a Gemini prompt bar. You can ask general questions like you would the web version of Gemini, but it can also access your windows for additional context."
"Even if you like generative AI, Google's method of distribution may be a dealbreaker. As of now, the company has opted not to list the app in the App Store for Mac."
Google has introduced the Gemini desktop app for Mac, responding to user requests for a native application. Developed in under 100 days, the app offers over 100 features, including file uploads, notebook creation, and access to various AI tools. Users can activate the app using Option + Space, similar to the Windows version. However, the app is not available in the Mac App Store and must be downloaded as a DMG file from Google's website, which may deter some users.
