Austin, TX, USA, July 6, 2026 — Be My Eyes today announced, at the National Federation for the Blind Annual Convention in Austin, Texas, the expansion of its desktop offerings to macOS, making both Be My Eyes Workplace and Be My Eyes for MacOS available to users worldwide. Together with the existing Windows applications, these releases complete the desktop family of products, delivering AI-powered visual assistance across the two most widely used desktop operating systems.
The launch represents a significant milestone in Be My Eyes’ mission to make digital experiences more accessible and inclusive. Whether at work or at home, blind and low vision users can now access the same powerful visual assistance experience on the desktop platform of their choice.
For individuals, Be My Eyes for Mac extends the company’s existing free Be My Eyes for Windows offering to macOS, providing access to Be My Eyes’ AI-powered visual assistance for personal everyday computing. Users can ask questions about what’s on their screen, receive contextual descriptions, and get help describing all manner of digital content—all from their Mac desktop. Collectively the Windows and MacOS offerings for personal use is known as Be My Eyes for Desktop.
For organizations and business use, Be My Eyes Workplace is also now available on macOS, enabling enterprises and other organizations to support their employees who are blind or have low vision with secure, AI-powered and trusted colleague workplace assistance. Designed specifically for professional environments, Be My Eyes Workplace helps employees independently interact with workplace applications, documents, dashboards, and digital workflows while providing enterprise-grade security, privacy controls, and centralized deployment, which are all critical for enterprise deployments.
“Desktop computing remains at the center of how people work, create, and communicate,” said Mike Buckley, CEO of Be My Eyes. “By bringing both our free consumer experience and our enterprise solution to macOS, we’re ensuring that blind and low vision users don’t have to choose between their preferred platform and accessible, AI-powered visual assistance. Be My Eyes is now available to our users no matter what computing platform they have.”
The expansion to macOS also provides organizations with greater flexibility when deploying accessible technology across mixed-device environments. Employees using either Windows or Mac can now benefit from a consistent Be My Eyes Workplace experience, simplifying IT deployment while helping create more inclusive workplaces.
The launch builds on Be My Eyes’ growing portfolio of AI-powered and hybrid accessibility solutions, combining advanced computer vision with conversational AI and person-to-person support that can help users understand visual information in real time. From interpreting charts and documents to navigating complex software interfaces, Be My Eyes Workplace brings visual assistance directly into the desktop workflow.
