Google launches native Gemini app for Mac

Google has released a native Gemini app for Mac, marking the first desktop version of its AI assistant alongside the existing smartphone apps.

The app can be called up anytime with a keyboard shortcut (Option + Space), no need to leave whatever program you're currently using. Users can share their screen content with Gemini to do things like summarize complex diagrams. Local files, Google Drive, Photos, and NotebookLM can all be pulled in as well.

Available tools include image, video, and music generation, along with Deep Research and Canvas. The app is free, requires macOS 15 or later, and is available worldwide at gemini.google/mac. Google says more features are coming in the months ahead.
