Jakarta, INTI - Google officially launched a separate Gemini app for Apple’s macOS operating system, providing a more convenient way for Apple Inc. computer users to access the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant.
Once installed, the app can be opened via the Option-Space shortcut. The Gemini app can help users with common tasks like writing emails, generating reports, or planning trips. It can also analyze the content currently displayed on the screen, including files and other open applications.
Google is Late Compared to Other AI Companies
Google's AI development momentum has continued to increase since the launch of Gemini 3 last fall, which received positive reviews. At the end of 2025, the service had reached more than 750 million monthly active users, indicating its growing adoption.
However, Google falls behind in providing a desktop app to increase user engagement. The company recently released a standalone version for Windows. Other AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have provided apps for Windows and macOS.
In addition to its core functionality, the Gemini app for Mac also makes it easier for users to create images and videos using Google's Nano Banana and Veo tools. According to Google’s group product manager Michael Friedman, this launch is the first step in developing a more personalized, proactive, and sophisticated desktop assistant.
Conclusion
Google launched its standalone Gemini app for Apple’s macOS, giving Mac users easier access to the Gemini AI assistant. The launch supports Google's AI momentum, which has already reached more than 750 million active users at the end of 2025. The Gemini app on macOS can also create images and videos.
