How It Helps

ChatGPT can now read text or code directly from these apps. For example:

• In Xcode, ChatGPT can review your code and suggest fixes.
• In Apple Notes, it can help organize your ideas or summarize notes.
• In Notion, it can edit or reformat your content.

It can also read content from more than one app at the same time. This is handy for switching between coding tools and note-taking apps.

Privacy Is in Your Hands

OpenAI designed the app to keep your data safe. You control when ChatGPT can access your apps.

To manage permissions:

OpenAI says, “You have full control over how this data is stored or used.”

Who Can Use These Features?

These new integrations are only for subscribers to:

• ChatGPT Plus
• Pro
• Team
• Enterprise
• Edu

Free users can’t access these features yet. OpenAI has not said if this will change.

Siri and macOS Work Together

With the latest macOS 15.2 update, you can now talk to ChatGPT using Siri. This makes using the app even easier.

How to Get the Update

You can download the ChatGPT macOS app from OpenAI’s website. The app is free, but paid subscribers get access to all features.

If you’re already using ChatGPT on macOS, update the app to access the new tools.
