ChatGPT App Store launches — Apple Music joins 50+ apps
OpenAI has officially launched the ChatGPT App Store, opening access to more than 50 third‑party applications integrated directly into ChatGPT. Among the initial apps, Apple Music is confirmed as an available integration after an earlier premature mention online.
The App Store lets users run services and access content without leaving the ChatGPT interface. Apple Music integration promises in‑chat music discovery and playback controls for subscribers, alongside other utility and productivity apps.
What you need to know
- Launch scope: The App Store debuts with 50+ apps spanning music, productivity, utilities and more.
- Apple Music: Enables music discovery and basic playback control from inside ChatGPT for users who link their Apple Music accounts.
- Access: Apps are available via the ChatGPT interface at chat.openai.com; developers can apply to publish integrations.
Why this matters
Embedding popular services like Apple Music lowers friction for users who want a single conversational interface for both AI and everyday apps. For developers, the App Store creates a new distribution channel that can surface services inside conversational workflows.
That convenience comes with caveats: account linking, permissions and privacy are important considerations. Users should review each app’s authentication flow and data handling before connecting personal accounts.
What to watch next
- How quickly OpenAI expands the catalog and whether major apps in other categories arrive.
- Developer tools, revenue models and moderation policies that determine who can publish and how integrations behave.
- User adoption: whether integrated apps change how people use ChatGPT day‑to‑day.

Discussion: Will you use Apple Music (or other services) inside ChatGPT — or do you prefer keeping apps and AI separate? What integrations would you like to see next?
