Grok Build GUI v0.1.1

Patch release with provider chat-model management, attachment workflow improvements, and several desktop fixes after the first public preview.

Highlights

  • Manage chat models per provider from the desktop settings UI.
  • Stream native provider tool calls through the compatibility bridge.
  • Improve settings and attachment workflows.
  • Drop stream options for non-streaming bridge calls.
  • Keep locale options distinct and remove legacy prefixed model duplicates.
  • Localize dynamic workbench labels in Chinese and English.

Downloads

  • Windows x64 Setup — standard installer.
  • Windows x64 Portable ZIP — extract and run without installation.
  • macOS x64 DMG — Intel Macs, unsigned preview build.
  • macOS arm64 DMG — Apple Silicon, unsigned preview build.
  • Linux x64 AppImage — portable Linux application.
  • Linux x64 DEB — Debian/Ubuntu package.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for all packaged artifacts.

Runtime requirement

The desktop application still requires a local native grok / Grok Build runtime. Install the CLI first, or point GROK_BINARY at a local runtime binary.

macOS note

The preview DMGs remain unsigned. macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning on first launch.

Grok Build GUI v0.1.0 — First Public Preview

Grok Build GUI is a community desktop workspace for the native grok / Grok Build runtime. It keeps the original runtime, sessions, memory, tools, permissions and configuration while adding a visual Electron workflow.

Highlights

  • Stable streaming conversations with collapsible thinking blocks.
  • Native tool execution cards with input, output, status, duration, working directory and exit code.
  • Tool permission modes and live approval state.
  • OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic third-party model discovery.
  • Tool-capability probing and compatibility bridging for third-party models.
  • 59 typed native Grok settings, searchable navigation and full TOML editing with backups.
  • Git branch state, dirty/staged counts, ahead/behind status, branch creation and switching.
  • Multi-tab review, persistent terminal, browser, file explorer and side-task workbench.
  • Independent parallel side-task sessions with shared project memory and current main-thread context.
  • Grok OAuth account integration, runtime detection and system proxy/PAC support.
  • Chinese and English desktop interface.
  • Electron sandbox, context isolation, allowlisted IPC and encrypted local provider secrets.

Downloads

  • Windows x64 Setup — standard installer.
  • Windows x64 Portable ZIP — extract and run without installation.
  • macOS x64 DMG — Intel Macs, unsigned preview build.
  • macOS arm64 DMG — Apple Silicon, unsigned preview build.
  • Linux x64 AppImage — portable Linux application.
  • Linux x64 DEB — Debian/Ubuntu package.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for all packaged artifacts.

Runtime requirement

The desktop application uses the native Grok Build runtime and looks for it in this order:

  1. GROK_BINARY
  2. A repository release/debug runtime build
  3. ~/.grok/bin/grok
  4. grok available in PATH

Verify the runtime before launching:

grok --version
grok models

macOS note

The preview DMGs are unsigned. macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning on first launch. Code signing and notarization are planned for a later stable release.
