Chatgpt Mac

This is a macOS menubar application that provides a desktop client for ChatGPT, designed for quick, always-available access. It lives in the system menubar and can be triggered with a global keyboard shortcut from any application, bringing the ChatGPT chat window to the foreground without disrupting your workflow.

The app runs as a persistent background menubar application with a native icon that supports dark mode and accessibility tinting. It uses a single frameless Electron window that shows or hides without reloading the page, and remembers its screen position and size across launches. A system-wide keyboard shortcut is registered using Core Graphics event taps to toggle window visibility and ensure focus management.

The documentation covers installation and setup for this menubar-based ChatGPT client.

    HotKey is a developer library for registering system-wide keyboard shortcuts in macOS applications. It binds modifier keys and key codes to system-wide identifiers using native operating system event hooks, allowing applications to respond to key combinations while running in the background. The library executes custom closures asynchronously when native keyboard monitor notifications match registered global shortcut signatures. It handles both press and release events, and automatically unregisters system hot key bindings during object deallocation to prevent stale event listeners and memory

    MeetingBar is a macOS menu bar application that turns your calendar into a one‑click meeting hub.
