Source-based practical guide

Prepare ChatGPT access for gptAssist

Complete the initial account sign-up in a web browser before using gptAssist.

Before you start

  • A web browser for initial sign-up.
  • An account sign-in method other than Apple, Microsoft, or Google for use in gptAssist.

Steps

  1. Open ChatGPT in a web browser and complete the initial sign-up.

  2. Use gptAssist for ChatGPT access after sign-up; its WebView blocks non-essential URLs.

  3. If needed, switch URL blocking on or off with the button at the top right.

Expected outcome

Initial sign-up is completed in a browser, and gptAssist can be used for a focused ChatGPT web experience with URL blocking configurable in the app.

Guide limitations

  • gptAssist does not support login via Apple, Microsoft, or Google accounts.
  • The README warns that the app will no longer work on certified Android devices after the stated 2026/2027 change.
