Today, we're bringing the Gemini app to macOS as a native desktop experience, designed to live right where you work. It's always just a keyboard shortcut away, so you can quickly get the help you need without losing your focus. Here are a few ways you can use it right now:

Share your window for instant context

With our new native desktop experience, you can share anything on your screen with Gemini to get help with exactly what you're looking at, including local files. If you're reviewing a complex chart, you can share your window and ask, 'What are the three biggest takeaways here?' to get an instant summary. This brings powerful context to your creative work as well.

Stay in your flow

Switching between windows on your desktop can be clunky and slow. Now, you can bring up Gemini from anywhere on your Mac with a quick shortcut (Option + Space) to get help instantly, without ever switching tabs. Whether you're drafting a market report and need to verify a date or building a budget in a spreadsheet and need the right formula, you can get an answer and get right back to work. Creatives can also quickly generate images with Nano Banana or videos with Veo to bring an idea to life without breaking their creative stride.

Starting today, the native macOS app is available to all Gemini users 1 on macOS versions 15 and up, globally, at no cost. To get started, you can download the app directly at gemini.google/mac and begin experiencing a faster, more integrated desktop workflow.

We're starting today with an app that brings AI assistance right where your work happens, but this first release is just the beginning. We're building the foundation for a truly personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to share in the coming months.
