According to OpenAI, the latest update to ChatGPT for macOS supports more third-party applications. For example, it can now read content from Apple Notes, Notion, and Quip. In addition, the list of supported applications now includes BBEdit, Android Studio, AppCode, and more. Here is the full list of new applications supported by ChatGPT on Mac:

It can even read the content of multiple applications simultaneously, which is useful when working with developer tools.
