Refreshed 2026-06-01: the tag and DMG were re-pointed to current
mainso the build is CI-clean and the alpha binary now includes the post-tag fixes — host lock-up (#70), client disconnect UX (#71), and the Swift 6 actor-isolation build fix (#69).
Second alpha. A round of conversation-surface and remote fixes on top of the first alpha — the transcript is calmer, the composer behaves, and a turn that asks you something now has real UI for it.
New
- Structured questions. When grok asks something mid-turn (
_x.ai/ask_user_question) it renders as a native card — labelled options + a free-text field — and works across devices (answer on the Mac or a remote iPhone/iPad; first to answer wins). - Live task checklist. grok's plan renders as one in-place checklist that updates as it works (pending → in-progress → done).
Fixed / improved
- The prompt box wraps correctly — backed by a real text view, so long lines soft-wrap to the box width, including when the inspector panel shrinks it and for a freshly typed line.
- The chat respects your scroll — during a streaming reply it only auto-scrolls if you're already at the bottom; scroll up to read and new text appends quietly. Return to the bottom to re-arm the follow.
- Tool calls fold away — a finished turn's
🔧 tool(...)rows collapse into one expandable "N tool calls" group (same as the thought process). They still show live while the turn runs. - Includes the (untagged) v0.1.1-alpha remote fixes: Mac video over HTTP, live host UI when a turn is driven from another device, deletable remote servers, and stuck-"Connecting…" recovery.
Install
- Mac: download
Grokestrator-0.2.0-unsigned.dmg. It isn't notarized yet, so the first launch needs a one-time Gatekeeper override — steps are in "How to open Grokestrator.txt" inside the DMG (System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway", orxattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Grokestrator.app). Or clone & build the GrokestratorMac scheme from source. - iOS: sideload-only for now — build the GrokestratoriOS scheme in Xcode and deploy to your own device (free Personal Team = 7-day cert). TestFlight comes once the paid Apple Developer enrollment clears.
