Updated the ChatGPT desktop app to make it easier to choose between Chat and Work, find conversations and Projects, and continue Work across devices. Now live for all plans on macOS and Windows.
macOS and Windows updates:
- A clearer desktop layout with a global switcher to choose between ChatGPT and Codex. In ChatGPT, choose Chat for quick questions or Work to complete tasks end to end.
- Unified Recents: Chat and Work conversations appear together, sortable, filterable, and pinnable.
- Projects in the desktop app: Existing ChatGPT Projects now appear in the app. Start a Chat conversation inside a Project or begin a Work thread using Project context.
- Continue Work across devices: Cloud Work conversations sync across web, mobile, and desktop.
- Codex remains unchanged: Codex remains a separate view with unchanged workflows and history. Quick Chats remain available.
