It's available for Apple Silicon Macs running at least macOS Sonoma.
The macOS ChatGPT desktop app is now available to everyone. That is, provided you're running an Apple Silicon Mac (sorry, Intel users) and your computer is on macOS Sonoma or higher. OpenAI rolled out the app gradually, starting with Plus subscribers last month.
ChatGPT now has an official macOS client before it has a Windows one. (In case you haven't heard, Microsoft is its most crucial partner.) Of course, Windows 11 has the OpenAI-powered Microsoft CoPilot baked into its OS, which likely explains the omission. OpenAI and Apple are also teaming up on Apple Intelligence, which arrives later this year (unless you're in Europe).
The Mac app includes a keyboard shortcut (option-space by default, but it's customizable) for typing chatbot queries from anywhere in macOS. Otherwise, the app mirrors the ChatGPT website's appearance and functionality (including custom GPTs), except in native app form. You can also upload files, photos and screenshots.
You can download and install ChatGPT for macOS from OpenAI.
