Getting a "can't verify the developer" warning?

If you see a warning on first launch, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway". Open source software usually isn't signed with an Apple developer certificate, which is normal.

Clicking "Download" takes you to a source confirmation page first; the download starts after confirmation.

Risk notice

This project is a community, unofficial build. The macOS version has not been notarized by Apple, and the Windows version is not digitally signed, so system security warnings may appear on first launch. Before use, you need to have Grok Build CLI installed and logged in on your machine, and you must grant the app access to your project directory. Please download from the official GitHub Releases page and verify file integrity against SHA256SUMS.

Who it's for

Developers who rely on Grok CLI daily and want to manage sessions graphically
Users who need to track multiple projects at once and quickly preview code and media files
Grok users who want to configure repetitive operations as scheduled automation tasks
macOS/Windows users who prefer open-source tools and are willing to review or build the app themselves
Developers who need a bilingual Chinese-English interface or want to contribute to the community

Who it's not for

Users who do not have Grok Build CLI installed or do not have a Grok account
Users who only use the terminal and do not need an additional graphical interface
Users who require official signing, enterprise-level support, or strict security certification
Users who completely reject unsigned/unnotarized applications

Install guide

macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel)

Apple Silicon (M-series chips): Download Grok_0.2.5_aarch64.dmg
Intel chips: Download Grok_0.2.5_x64.dmg

Installation steps:

Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag Grok.app into the "Applications" folder.
On first launch, macOS may warn that the app "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." You can right-click the app and select "Open," or run the following in Terminal: xattr -cr /Applications/Grok.app.
If it is still blocked by Gatekeeper, go to "System Settings → Privacy & Security" and click "Open Anyway."

Windows x64

Download Grok_0.2.5_x64-setup.exe, double-click to run, and follow the prompts to install.
If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC / Unknown publisher," click "More info" → "Run anyway."
Windows 11 includes the WebView2 Runtime; on older systems, if it is missing, the installer will guide you through installing it.

Linux x64 (additional)

The package list also includes Linux build files (not listed as primary supported platforms). Use them as needed:

AppImage: Grok_0.2.5_amd64.AppImage — first run chmod +x Grok_0.2.5_amd64.AppImage, then run ./Grok_0.2.5_amd64.AppImage.
Debian/Ubuntu: Grok_0.2.5_amd64.deb — run sudo dpkg -i Grok_0.2.5_amd64.deb.
Fedora/openSUSE etc.: Grok-0.2.5-1.x86_64.rpm — run sudo rpm -i Grok-0.2.5-1.x86_64.rpm.

First Run

After launch, a setup wizard will help you prepare Grok Build CLI (requires grok 0.2.112 or newer). If it is already installed and logged in on your machine, choose "Use existing CLI login"; otherwise, you can let the wizard install it automatically.
You need to add and trust a project folder before you can create sessions.
Permissions default to Ask; if you switch to YOLO, the app will execute actions without confirmation. Use with caution.

Checksums

You can download SHA256SUMS to verify the installation package hashes: on macOS/Linux use shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing, on Windows use PowerShell's Get-FileHash to compare the corresponding line.

FAQ

Is this app officially released by xAI?

No. According to the project description, it is not an official xAI product, but a community-developed unofficial desktop workspace that wraps the local Grok Build CLI.

Which operating systems are supported?

Currently macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows x64 are supported. In addition, the release page provides Linux installation files in AppImage, deb, and rpm formats.

Do I need to install Grok CLI in advance?

Yes. The app is essentially a graphical interface for the Grok Build CLI, requiring `grok` 0.2.112 or newer to be installed on your machine. If it is not installed, the first-run wizard offers installation from multiple mirrors; if you are already logged in, you can reuse the existing login directly.

What should I do if the app shows a warning that it is damaged or cannot be opened after downloading?

The macOS version is not notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper may block it. You can run `xattr -cr /Applications/Grok.app` in Terminal, or right-click the app and select "Open." The Windows version is unsigned; when SmartScreen prompts, choose "More info" → "Run anyway."

Is this software paid? How do I update it?

This app is open source under the MIT license and is free of charge. Updates are primarily obtained by downloading new installation packages from the GitHub Releases page and installing over the existing version; for Grok Build CLI, you can run `grok update`.
