Early public beta — install fix

GrokBot Meter is an unofficial menu-bar companion for Grok Bot on macOS. Tiny tray app: weekly usage %, today, and reset timing — no Dock clutter.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a product of xAI, Cursor, or Apple. Uses official Grok Bot meters only.

What's new in 0.2.6

  • Fixes "GrokBot Meter is damaged and can't be opened" on downloaded copies. The app bundle is now properly ad-hoc signed, so macOS offers the normal approval flow instead. If you're on 0.2.5, replace it with this build.
  • Refresh now fetches fresh weekly data instead of returning a cached value, and concurrent weekly requests are merged into one.
  • Expired access tokens are detected before calling the API, and the refreshed token is reused instead of refreshing on every poll.
  • Clearer signed-out message: "Sign in to Grok Bot to see weekly".

Download (Apple Silicon)

Grab the DMG below (or the zip), drag GrokBot Meter to Applications, then launch.

First launch (Gatekeeper)

This build is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS asks you to approve it once.

macOS 15 Sequoia and later

  1. Open GrokBot Meter. macOS says it can't verify the developer — click Done.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway next to "GrokBot Meter was blocked".
  3. Confirm with Open Anyway and your password.

macOS 14 Sonoma and earlier: right-click GrokBot Meter → Open → Open.

If macOS still refuses, run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/GrokBot Meter.app"
