The most popular AI apps for Mac

Everyone has an opinion about which AI app is best. This page skips the opinions and counts installs. It covers every Mac app in Homebrew whose own description says it is about AI, from the big chat apps to small dictation tools that run on your Mac.

Command line agents like Codex and Claude Code are hugely popular too, but they are tools, not apps, so they live on the Homebrew casks list instead.
