Grok for Mac
Stop Tab Switching. Start Groking.
The web browser is for browsing. Grok for Mac is for building. Experience xAI's powerful models wrapped in a native, lightning-fast macOS application that lives one keystroke away.
Version 1.0.81 • macOS 13.0+ • 3.3 MB • Universal Binary (Apple Silicon & Intel)
A True Coding Assistant. Not Just a Chat Window.
Grok Code has direct access to your codebase. It can read from and write to your files, understand your project structure, and execute changes autonomously—just like having a senior developer working alongside you.
This is a capability you cannot get in the browser. By running natively on your Mac, Grok becomes a true development partner with the ability to modify your actual project files, not just suggest code snippets you have to copy-paste.
Read Your Codebase
Grok understands your existing code. It reads your files, analyzes your project structure, and learns your patterns before making any suggestions.
Write & Edit Files
Create new files from scratch or refactor existing code. Grok writes directly to your file system—no more copying snippets from a chat window.
Execute & Iterate
Run commands, interact with Git, and iterate on changes. Grok works in your actual development environment, not a sandboxed preview.
Example: "Create a new React component called UserProfile with TypeScript, add it to the components folder, update the index exports, and add the necessary props interface." — Grok Code will create the files, write the code, and make all the necessary changes across your project.
🔐 Powered by your xAI API key • Full local file system access • Your code never leaves your machine

A Note from the Developer: This app is a labor of love, built to unleash the full potential of xAI's models. It's Open Source and constantly evolving—we recently shipped an auto-update engine. Use the "Feedback" button to help shape the roadmap. Lots of hard work has gone into making this the best AI experience on Mac, and we're just getting started.
