In May this year, OpenAI launched the official ChatGPT app for Mac and, until recently, added new features to improve the experience. Now it is compatible with Apple Notes and other third-party applications, allowing you to read these notes, lines of code and any information. The update was born last month when it adapted the possibility of reading content on the screen of several Mac applications.

Compatibility with popular apps like Notion and Quip is also addedin addition to adding development environments such as Android Studio, BBEdit and JetBrains. From the latter, several IDEs are added, terminal applications such as Prompt and Warp. Developers can submit their app code to OpenAI AI without having to copy and paste it into the macOS app..
ChatGPT supports multiple developer apps to work together

You will need to make some adjustments first for the update to work without any problems. Go to ChatGPT settings and in the Work with apps section, enable the Work with apps option.. Next, you will need to manage the applications that you want to make compatible with ChatGPT.
Now it's a matter of opening ChatGPT and the Notes app, for example, to call the ChatGPT bar with Option + Shift + 1 and start typing queries or calling advanced voice mode. Remember that a few days ago, ChatGPT added an advanced voice mode to interact with a version of Santa Claus.
ChatGPT working with Terminal app
In the case of your notes, you can ask ChatGPT to review a text, provide suggestions for improvement and apply changes. With other apps where information is processed, you can request anything from a spell check to a complex edit based on your needs. As for developers, this is a significant improvement since previously it only worked with Xcode, VS Code, TextEdit, Terminal and iTerm 2. The difference is that now you will no longer have to copy or paste code. A curious fact is that the ChatGPT application will be able to read content from several applications at the same time..
