The New Stack

Google has launched a native Gemini app for macOS, making it the last of the AI 'Big Three' (after OpenAI and Anthropic) to release a Mac desktop app. The app is accessible via Option + Space keyboard shortcut from any screen, supports screen sharing for contextual help with local files, and includes image and video generation via Imagen and Veo. It requires macOS Sequoia 15.0 or later and runs only on Apple Silicon. The app is free for all Gemini users and is positioned as the foundation for a more proactive desktop assistant experience.
