About Gemini for macOS

Google's native Swift assistant for Apple Silicon Macs. It reads the foreground window you point it at, so a question about what is on screen no longer starts with pasting the screen into a prompt.

Key Capabilities

Native Swift build rather than a wrapped web page, on Apple Silicon and macOS Sequoia 15 or later

Option + Space opens a mini chat, Option + Shift + Space the full window

Image generation, Veo video and music generation reachable from the same desktop surface

Optional deeper access to full-page browser content and local folders, granted in System Settings
