Tool activity release. Update from any earlier build.

Changed

  • Tool activity is a single line you can expand, instead of several things pulsing at once. While Grok worked, the agent fleet indicator and the "Using SHELL" row animated independently, which read as two separate systems doing two separate things. They are now one summary bar showing whatever is actually running, with the detail behind a click.
  • Long paths and commands in that bar are shortened to fit. A line that ran past the width of the bar is trimmed rather than pushing the layout around.

Which file do I want?

Platform File
Windows Gronk-0.1.9-windows-x64-setup.exe (installer) or -portable.exe
macOS Gronk-0.1.9-macos-universal.dmg (Apple Silicon and Intel)
Linux Gronk-0.1.9-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.
  • The macOS bundle is currently missing the upstream Electron and Chromium licence files. Attribution for the app's own dependencies ships correctly on every platform; this gap is the runtime's own licences on macOS only, and is being fixed.
  • 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.
