## Kitsmith's take

The default AI chat app most people already have an account for. The free plan covers standard chat; the desktop-specific extras (screen/file context, Codex, ChatGPT Work’s delegated tasks) lean on paid Plus/Pro/Business/Enterprise plans that OpenAI’s own site gates certain features behind. Worth knowing there are two separate Mac downloads: the full ChatGPT app and a simpler “ChatGPT Classic” build, both linked from OpenAI’s download page.

## Features

- **Screen & file context:** The desktop app can use context from open screens, files, and screenshots when asked something.
- **Codex:** Coding-agent features built into the same desktop app as chat.
- **ChatGPT Work:** Delegated, multi-step tasks; available on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
