Perplexity AI Releases Native macOS App for Enhanced Desktop Search

The new app offers advanced AI search features directly on Mac desktops, requiring a subscription for full access.

Perplexity's macOS app introduces Pro Search, voice input, and cited sources for comprehensive AI-powered search.
The app supports threaded conversations and a library feature for tracking past searches and interactions.
Free users can perform up to five Pro Searches daily, while subscribers gain access to 600 daily searches and additional features.
Perplexity faces legal challenges over alleged unauthorized data scraping from major publications like the Wall Street Journal.
The app is available for download on the Mac App Store, with subscription plans priced at $20 per month or $200 annually.
