v0.1.8
6add20b

UX and restore release. Update from any earlier build.

Added

  • A single session tray above the composer for Plan, Agents, and Usage.
  • Command palette (Ctrl/Cmd+K) to jump Home, Chat, Build, settings, and more.
  • Pin and remove recent projects from the project menu (remove only forgets the list entry; it never deletes files on disk).
  • Opening a project resumes the latest session for that folder. Use New session when you want a blank conversation.
  • Chat skeleton while a project or session is opening.
  • Allow this kind for session on permission prompts: batch-approve a tool kind for the rest of this agent process without full YOLO.
  • OS notifications when the window is unfocused and a permission is needed or a turn finishes.
  • First-run onboarding checklist on Home (CLI, sign-in, first project).
  • Status menu in the top bar: connection, account, and model in one control.

Changed

  • Light theme reworked as paper and ink. The Windows title-bar overlay follows light and dark.
  • Wider message column and a tighter top bar.
  • Agents tab only appears when something is live.
  • Missing images fail more quietly so a bad catalogue cannot own the viewport.
  • Session restore paints the local transcript in one shot, then connects the agent.

Which file do I want?

Platform File
Windows Gronk-0.1.8-windows-x64-setup.exe (installer) or -portable.exe
macOS Gronk-0.1.8-macos-universal.dmg, Apple Silicon and Intel
Linux Gronk-0.1.8-linux-x86_64.AppImage or -amd64.deb

Node.js is not required. You do need the Grok CLI and your own Grok account.

These installers are unsigned

macOS will say the app is damaged. It is not. Right-click and choose Open, then confirm. Double-clicking will not work until you have done that once.
Windows SmartScreen: More info, then Run anyway.

SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the download arrived intact. That checks integrity, not authorship. Only signing does that.

Known limitations

  • Developed and tested on Windows. The macOS and Linux builds come from CI and have not been run by the author.
  • No automatic updates.
  • Conversations are stored on your machine as readable text. Do not paste secrets into a chat.
  • Grok cannot yet ask you a question mid-task. When it tries, you will see "Agent requested unsupported client method" and it will pick a default and carry on.
