BEFORE YOU START

A few things to check.

  • Your MacModeMark requires macOS 13 or later, plus a compatible version of the ChatGPT desktop app.
  • ChatGPT desktop onlyRequires the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS, with the modes you want to mark available in your account. Browser tabs, the standalone Codex app, and other applications are outside ModeMark’s supported scope.
  • An English interfaceSet the ChatGPT desktop app’s interface to English. Other interface languages are not currently supported.
  • Accessibility accessAllow ModeMark to identify and follow ChatGPT’s windows. You control this permission in System Settings.

ModeMark needs to recognize a window’s mode before adding color. Keep ChatGPT’s sidebar open during setup. Updates to ChatGPT can sometimes affect detection; contact us if a window stops being marked.

GET STARTED

Set up your window colors.

ModeMark’s controls live in your Mac’s menu bar. Its GPT and Codex tabs let you choose separate settings for the two modes inside the ChatGPT desktop app.

Choose a mode, turn on Enabled, then pick Top Bar or Border and your preferred color. Turn on Launch at login if you want ModeMark to start when you sign in.

Need help installing ModeMark or getting it to recognize your windows? Contact us for setup help. Installation and startup instructions are being finalized.

MAKE IT YOURS

One glance. Your kind of clarity.

Inside the ChatGPT desktop app, use blue for Codex mode, green for GPT mode, or choose something entirely your own.

Top Bar

A quiet wash of color across the top of the window. Set the tint from 10% to 25%.

Border

A more defined outline, with adjustable thickness. It fades while the window moves.

Illustrations of the two indicator styles. Your chosen color applies to either style.

Indicators let clicks pass through and never take keyboard focus. Use Launch at login if you want ModeMark ready when you sign in.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Let’s get you unstuck.

Does ModeMark work with ChatGPT in a browser or other apps?

No. ModeMark works only with the ChatGPT desktop app on Mac. Its GPT and Codex controls mark modes inside that application. ChatGPT in a web browser, the standalone Codex app, and other Mac apps are outside its supported scope.

A ChatGPT window has no color. What should I check?
  1. Open ModeMark from the menu bar and select the window’s mode: Codex or GPT.
  2. Make sure Enabled is on for that mode.
  3. Open the sidebar in the ChatGPT desktop app, then click Refresh in ModeMark.
  4. If ModeMark asks for Accessibility access, complete that setup in System Settings.

Dialogs and windows whose mode cannot be identified stay unmarked. If your main ChatGPT window still has no color, get in touch.

I enabled Accessibility. Why is ModeMark still asking?

Check that ModeMark is enabled in System Settings’ Accessibility permission list. Then quit ModeMark and reopen it from Applications.

If it still asks for permission, contact us so we can help you resolve it.

Will the color stay when I close ChatGPT’s sidebar?

Yes. Once ModeMark recognizes a window’s mode, it keeps that color when you close the sidebar. A new window or a window reopened after quitting ChatGPT needs to be recognized again, so open its sidebar if the indicator is missing.

Can I mark only Codex, or use different colors for both modes?

Yes. The Codex and GPT tabs have independent controls. Enable only the mode you want to mark, or enable both and choose a different color and style for each.

Does ModeMark need to stay open?

ModeMark runs quietly in the menu bar while it marks your windows. You can close its controls and keep working. Turn on Launch at login if you want it to start automatically when you sign in.

How do I turn it off or uninstall it?

To hide a mode’s indicator, select its tab and turn off Enabled. Choose Quit to stop ModeMark completely.

To uninstall, turn off Launch at login, quit ModeMark, and move it from Applications to Trash. You can also remove its Accessibility permission in System Settings.
