Google has just released the official Gemini AI app for the Mac, and anyone can download it right away.
The Official Google Gemini AI App for Mac is Now Available for Download, Created Using the Antigravity Platform
Gemini has been around for quite a while now, but only on the web. This means you need to fire up Safari every single time in order to use it which may or may not be convenient for a lot of users out there.
Today, all of that changes with the official Gemini app for the Mac. Google says that the initial release of the app is made using Antigravity, which is Google’s agentic development platform. Basically, Google vibe-coded this app into existence.
Weighing in at just 80MB, the app downloads quickly, and you need to authorize it and sign in using your Google account. The standard stuff.
I gave the app a try on my MacBook Air, and it was severely broken, and I’m not sure why. The moment I typed in a question, it would start loading text and would proceed to do nothing at all, forcing me to quit the app and start from scratch.
It is the initial release after all. You can’t expect the app to be perfect, but it will be absolutely fine within a few days for everyone, hopefully.
But I will say this, it’s a very clean-looking app, something you expect from Google. And surprisingly fits in well with the overall aesthetic of the Mac.
The app does run in the background, and you can easily bring it up using the Option+Space shortcut. This allows you to have Gemini around all the time and ask it anything you like instantly.
And yes, it has all the usual features such as the ability to create photos, videos, upload documents, photos, and so much more.
If you’re interested in giving the app a try, you can download it from here.
