OpenAI has officially launched ChatGPT Atlas, its new web browser that integrates artificial intelligence right into the core of the browsing experience. Available now on macOS, this groundbreaking browser is coming soon to Windows, iOS and Android. Here is everything you need to know to download and install ChatGPT Atlas on your platform.
Download ChatGPT Atlas on macOS
ChatGPT Atlas is available right now for all macOS users. The browser runs on Macs equipped with Apple Silicon processors (M-series chips) running macOS 12 Monterey or later.
Steps to Download Atlas on Mac
1. Go to the official OpenAI website
Open your current browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.) and go to chatgpt.com/atlas. Click the “Download for macOS” button in the upper-right corner of the page to download the installation file.
2. Install the application
Once the download is complete, you will receive a .dmg file (macOS installer). Open this file, then drag the ChatGPT Atlas icon into your Applications folder. You can then eject the installer from the Finder.
3. Launch ChatGPT Atlas
Open the application from your Applications folder or via Spotlight. Because you are downloading directly from the OpenAI website and not from the Mac App Store, macOS will display a security warning. Simply click “Open” to continue.
4. Log in to your ChatGPT account
On first launch, Atlas will display a welcome screen. Click the “Log in with ChatGPT” button at the bottom of the screen. You can sign in with your existing credentials or create a new ChatGPT account for free if you don’t have one.
5. Set up your preferences
ChatGPT Atlas will guide you through a setup process. In particular, you will be able to:
- Import your data from Google Chrome or Safari (passwords, bookmarks, browsing history)
- Turn on “Browser Memories” to let ChatGPT remember details from your browsing and personalize its responses
- Set Atlas as your default browser (OpenAI offers increased usage limits for 7 days if you set it as your main browser)
The installation is complete! You can now enjoy ChatGPT Atlas on your Mac.
Download ChatGPT Atlas on Windows
ChatGPT Atlas is not yet available for Windows. OpenAI has announced that the Windows version will arrive “soon” or “shortly”, without specifying an exact release date.
What to do while waiting for the Windows version?
For now, Windows users will have to be patient. OpenAI has not provided a precise timeline for rollout on this platform. Some sources suggest a 2026 release seems likely for the general public. In the meantime, you can keep using ChatGPT via:
- The official website chatgpt.com in any browser
- The ChatGPT extensions available for Chrome, Edge or Firefox
- The ChatGPT desktop app if it is available in your region
Watch for official announcements from OpenAI so you’ll be notified as soon as the Windows version is available for download.
Download ChatGPT Atlas on iOS
The ChatGPT Atlas app for iOS is not yet available. OpenAI has confirmed that a mobile experience for iOS will arrive “soon”, without giving a precise launch date.
While waiting for the iOS version
iPhone and iPad users cannot yet download the Atlas browser from the App Store. However, OpenAI already offers an official ChatGPT mobile app available on the Apple App Store, which gives you access to the features of the conversational assistant from your iOS device.
To use ChatGPT on iOS while waiting for Atlas:
- Download the official ChatGPT app from the App Store
- Use the chatgpt.com website via Safari or your preferred mobile browser
Stay tuned to OpenAI’s announcements to find out when Atlas will be released on iOS.
Download ChatGPT Atlas on Android
Just like on iOS, ChatGPT Atlas is not yet available on Android. OpenAI has indicated that the Android version of the browser will be launched “soon,” but no release date has been announced.
Temporary solutions for Android
Android users will need to wait for the official rollout of Atlas on their platform. In the meantime, several options are available to you:
- Download the official ChatGPT app from the Google Play Store
- Access ChatGPT via the chatgpt.com website from Chrome, Firefox or any other Android browser
- Use ChatGPT extensions compatible with mobile browsers, if available
Keep an eye on the Google Play Store and OpenAI’s official channels to be notified as soon as the Android version of ChatGPT Atlas is released.
Key Features of ChatGPT Atlas
Regardless of the operating system you use, ChatGPT Atlas offers several innovative features that set it apart from traditional browsers:
Full ChatGPT integration : The AI assistant is available at any time via a sidebar accessible from any web page. You can ask questions, request summaries or get help without leaving your current page.
Agent Mode : Reserved for Plus, Pro and Business subscribers, this mode allows ChatGPT to take control of the browser to perform automated actions such as filling out forms, booking flights, ordering groceries or navigating between multiple pages.
Browser Memories : ChatGPT can optionally remember visited pages and ongoing projects, enabling highly personalized responses. You keep full control and can view, archive or delete these memories at any time.
New start page : When opening a new tab, you can ask a question directly or enter a URL for faster, more useful results grouped in one place.
Privacy protection : OpenAI states that the content you view is not used to train its AI models without explicit permission. An incognito mode prevents any recording of activity, and you precisely control which sites ChatGPT can “see.”
Conclusion
ChatGPT Atlas marks a new step in integrating artificial intelligence into web browsing. If you use a Mac, you can download and enjoy the browser right now at chatgpt.com/atlas. Users of Windows, iOS and Android will have to wait a little longer, but the rollout is announced for the near future. In the meantime, the ChatGPT mobile app and website remain accessible on all platforms to take advantage of OpenAI’s conversational assistant.
