ChatGPT Desktop Update: Synced History & Faster Workflow

OpenAI has released a major update for the ChatGPT desktop app, bringing significant quality-of-life improvements. The update addresses user feedback, making the desktop experience more consistent with web and mobile versions. Here's the thing: Conversation history and Projects are now back in the sidebar, allowing users to browse past chats and access projects without leaving the app. What's more, chat and work history now sync across the ChatGPT web, desktop, and mobile platforms. Local tasks, however, remain stored only on your computer. The update also introduces an easier way to switch between Chat and Work modes, mirroring the web and mobile experience. OpenAI confirmed that Codex mode remains unchanged for developers. The company also states it continues to improve app performance, reliability, and efficiency. The bottom line: These changes aim to streamline workflows for both personal and professional users, making the desktop client a stronger option for daily AI tasks.
