QuickGPT For Mac

There are now many ways to use ChatGPT, each with its own pros and cons. The web UI is the most commonly accessed, but apps that rely on the ChatGPT API are also available, along with those that simply allow you to use the web UI from a desktop app.

QuickGPT is one of the latter, serving as a native platform for accessing ChatGPT via a web view. It is both small in file size and minimalistic, while bundling a few extra features that make the service less of a handful.

If you have experience with ChatGPT via the web UI, QuickGPT will offer a similar experience. You get the smaller version of the interface by default, but you can just enlarge the window to see the sidebar at all times.

The main window can be configured to remain on top of all other apps, and quick conversation sharing has been added with the help of ShareGPT; this will generate a URL that can be shared with others on any platform.

The app can be opened from the menu bar by default, but you can move it to the Dock if you prefer. A hotkey can also be configured for bringing up the app window.

If you have a ChatGPT Plus subscription, it can use GPT-4 by default for new conversations.

Since QuickGPT doesn’t add too many new features to the web UI, there’s little else to mention. The app works as well as expected, and the fact that it doesn’t rely on Electron or other such frameworks is a nice bonus.

Other ChatGPT clients use the API, but a monthly subscription is a better idea for many users, in which case a website wrapper like QuickGPT is the superior alternative, as it lets you access the web UI directly.
