Grok Desktop 0.8.7 — Release Notes

Release date: 2026-07-21
Platforms: Windows x64 (primary this cycle) · Linux / macOS continue to share the same codebase


一句话

把 Windows 桌面端做到「能关窗、能托盘、能通知、能记忆窗口」,并把右上角 计划 / 导出 / 重命名 / 删除 收成一套产品级工具栏。


Highlights / 亮点

1. Windows 原生感

能力 说明
系统托盘 常驻右下角;右键显示 / 新建 / 设置 / 退出
关闭 → 托盘 点 × 不退出(可在设置关闭)
首次提示 第一次藏托盘会通知,避免误以为闪退
完成后通知 失焦、托盘、后台会话都会弹系统通知;点击回到对应会话
任务栏 运行中进度条;完成后闪烁
窗口记忆 大小 / 位置 / 最大化下次启动还原
开机自启 设置可选
菜单与快捷键 标准菜单 + Ctrl+N / , / P / W / Tab / Q

2. 顶栏 UI 统一

  • 去掉状态条上重复的第二个「计划」
  • 只保留右上角计划按钮
  • 计划 · 导出 · 重命名 · 删除 同一工具栏样式(图标 + 文案 + 统一 hover)
  • 计划打开时高亮;有条目时显示数字角标

What’s new (English)

Desktop shell

  • System tray with show / new session / settings / quit
  • Close-to-tray (default on Windows & Linux); real quit via tray, menu, or Ctrl+Q
  • Optional minimize-to-tray and launch-at-login
  • Focus-aware “session done” notifications (including current session when unfocused)
  • Notification click restores window and opens the session
  • Taskbar progress while agents run; flash when finished in background
  • Persist window bounds and maximized state
  • Application menu + product shortcuts
  • Single-instance; second launch focuses the existing window
  • Dark native theme for title bar chrome

UI

  • Unified top-bar session toolbar: Plan · Export · Rename · Delete
  • Removed the duplicate Plan control from the live strip
  • Consistent icons, spacing, active/badge states for Plan

Upgrade notes / 升级说明

  1. 关闭旧版 Grok Desktop(若托盘里还在,右键退出)。
  2. 运行新的 Portable 或 Setup。
  3. 仍使用本机官方 grok CLI 登录与额度,桌面端不单独账号。
  4. 桌面设置在:%APPDATA%\grok-desktop\settings.json(Windows)。
