Grok Bot Desktop Extra

October 1, 2026 at 12:18 PM UTC

Dogfood pre-release: Grok Bot desktop 0.66.0-pre.4 is out for macOS and Windows.

Changelog

  • [changed] Dogfood is now 0.66.0-pre.4.patch.0 (up from 0.66.0-pre.2.patch.0) on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows (x64 and ARM64).
  • [new] Voice memos, including speed control, reconnect, and steering while a memo is in progress.
  • [new] Share menu on header templates, plus shared canvases.
  • [new] Template onboarding and an in-app setup checklist.
  • [new] Account switching, 1Password integration, and a Stripe billing link.
  • [new] Message reactions, user forms, agent titles, timestamps on your messages, and richer link unfurling.
  • [new] Custom agents, side chats (local and cloud), and cloud agents that can run without a repo — including plugins, persistent terminals, and resume/repair for stalled runs.
  • [new] Plugin marketplace, third-party plugin import, and an MCP settings overhaul (allowlists, multi-account, and per-tool allowlist modes).
  • [new] Auto-review with admin rules/enforcement, audit logs, and admin network / allowlist controls.
  • [new] Automations: Slack and GitHub trigger templates, GitLab extended triggers, and validation when you enable an automation.
  • [new] Bitbucket (including Data Center onboarding), image annotations on prompts, a refreshed type scale, split tabs, and sandbox settings in the composer.
  • [fix] More reliable voice reconnect, cloud-agent stream reconnect, stalled cloud-agent panes, grok subagent await, Windows updater recovery, and macOS shutdown hangs.

Availability

This build is on the dogfood pre-release channel only. macOS (darwin-arm64 and darwin-x64) and Windows (win32-x64 and win32-arm64, user installs) all moved together; there is no platform lag in this drop. Stable is not in this release.

Upgrade notes

The app self-updates. Stay on dogfood and it will pick up 0.66.0-pre.4 on its own; Windows updater recovery is included if a previous update left the client stuck.
