The new Meta AI desktop app, version 1.0 beta, is a lightweight application at 16MB. It runs natively on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 15+, leveraging AppKit, SwiftUI, and WebKit, and is neither an Electron nor an iPad port. The app offers Mac-specific features for a more robust user experience than its mobile counterpart. A "Quick Invoke" function allows users to bring up a compact Meta AI composer using Option-Space. It also includes a dictation feature, enabling users to speak into any application by holding a shortcut. Meta AI can attach another Mac window to a conversation, reading its visible text and capturing a screenshot for context. This feature focuses on gathering context rather than direct computer control. The application includes a proper Settings window, indicating attention to desktop app design. Institutionally, Meta appears to prioritize native Mac app development over native Windows apps.
