Sign in with ChatGPT lets users sign in to your app with their ChatGPT account. With their permission, eligible users can also use their ChatGPT plan to power your app's AI features without setting up an API key.
This DevKit is for developers building open-source apps that run on a user's own machine. It gives you a local Node.js SDK, React components, and design assets to integrate Sign in with ChatGPT, plus Paste Perfect, a working macOS example app you can learn from.
Follow the Paste Perfect cookbook for a step-by-step integration. See the developer documentation for authentication and ChatGPT plan usage.
Use @siwc/local in your app's local Node.js process for sign-in and API requests, and @siwc/react for the UI. Import @siwc/react/styles.css once. Both packages are local workspaces in this repository; Paste Perfect shows how to connect them, including OS-encrypted credential storage.

examples/paste-perfect |
An example native macOS app that uses Sign in with ChatGPT to transform copied text and paste the result into another app, with an Electron settings dashboard. |
Requires macOS 14 or later, Node.js 22.12 or later, and Xcode Command Line Tools.
git clone https://github.com/openai/sign-in-with-chatgpt-devkit.git
cd sign-in-with-chatgpt-devkit
npm ci
npm run build
npm start
- Sign in with ChatGPT from the dashboard.
- Enable native paste and grant Accessibility access to the native helper.
- Copy text, focus an editable field in another app, press ⌘⇧Space , then right-click within eight seconds.
- Choose Spreadsheet, Message, Translate, Checklist, Clean up, or a saved recipe.
The result is pasted into the destination app. Use the Electron dashboard to manage accounts, settings, recipes, and activity. Paste Perfect currently supports text on macOS; compatibility varies by destination app.
Use the UI/UX guidelines and design assets to add a familiar sign-in experience, show which ChatGPT account is connected, and make plan usage controls easy to find. Try the components with your app's name and layout to choose button styles, check connection states, and place usage indicators where users need them.
To try the designs locally after installing dependencies:
