ChatGPT Atlas Browser Is Shutting Down, OpenAI Confirms

ChatGPT Atlas is shutting down as OpenAI moves its browser features into the new ChatGPT desktop app. The standalone browser will remain available until August 9, after which OpenAI plans to discontinue the service and share further details through email and in-app notices.



The company introduced ChatGPT Atlas on Mac last October, followed by a dedicated Codex app with an in-app browser in April. OpenAI has now combined those tools inside one desktop app, which includes ChatGPT Work, Codex, and expanded browser controls.



New ChatGPT Desktop App Replaces Atlas



The updated desktop app includes multiple tabs, password management, autofill, downloads, printing, page search, passkeys, and enterprise sign-in support. Users can open the built-in browser by pressing Command and T on Mac.



OpenAI has also added a cloud browser to ChatGPT Work. The agent can search dynamic websites, complete forms, compare services, and collect information while users follow its progress through screenshots. Users can also take control of the browser whenever needed.



Chrome users can continue using ChatGPT through the new browser extension, which supports highlighted text, tab controls, local files, and ongoing tasks from the desktop app. OpenAI also plans to bring the extension to more browsers.
