Google has released a dedicated native app for its Gemini AI on macOS, allowing users quick access via a keyboard shortcut. The free app supports screen sharing, file uploads, and generative features like image and video creation. It is available for download from Google's website for macOS 15 and later.
Google unveiled its first standalone desktop app for Gemini on macOS, following the release of a search app for Windows. The Gemini app brings the AI chatbot's web features to a native experience, accessible by pressing Option + Space for a mini chat or Option + Shift + Space for the full interface. Users can adjust shortcuts in settings, as detailed by the company in announcements on April 15, 2026. Michael Friedman, group product manager for the Gemini app, wrote in a blog post: 'We're building the foundation for a truly personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to share in the coming months.'
