Early public beta — safer sign-in and Keychain handling

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 0.2.7

  • Never touches your Grok Bot sign-in. The meter no longer refreshes Grok Bot's token, which could have signed you out of Grok Bot. It only reads the current access token; when that expires, the Weekly card says Open Grok Bot to refresh sign-in.
  • No more frozen menu bar while the macOS Keychain prompt is open.
  • Deny means deny. If you click Deny on the Keychain prompt, it won't reappear until you reopen the app, and the Weekly card says Keychain access denied.
  • New What it accesses section in the README: every file, Keychain item, and endpoint the app uses. No telemetry, no server of its own.

The Keychain prompt

When the app loads your weekly usage, macOS asks whether security may use "Grok Bot Safe Storage". That's macOS's built-in Keychain tool reading the key Grok Bot uses to protect your sign-in. Click Allow. "Always Allow" also works but lets other programs on your Mac read that key without asking — details.

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"
