The most popular AI apps for Mac

Chat apps, coding tools, local models and dictation: the AI apps Mac people installed most in the last 30 days.

Оновлено 8 листопада 2026 р.

Коротка відповідь

On November 8, 2026, the top three are Claude, ChatGPT and OpenCode. Переглянути всі (40), or how it's ranked.

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.

How this ranking works
  • Source: Homebrew's public install analytics (formulae.brew.sh), which count installs by people who leave Homebrew's anonymous analytics on. App names and descriptions come from each Homebrew cask.
  • Read on: November 8, 2026. The 30 days run from October 9, 2026 to November 8, 2026. MacPip reads it again every week.
  • Ranked by: installs in the last 30 days. Nobody can pay for a place, and MacPip apps get no boost.
  • Included: Mac apps (an .app bundle) whose Homebrew description mentions AI, a language model, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or agents.
