Folders become workspaces.
Add any local folder as a project. Grok runs in that directory, so your repository and the conversation stay naturally aligned.
Native Grok Build workspace · macOS 15+
Give Grok a window into your work.
Xnative turns the real Grok CLI into a focused Mac workspace for projects, conversations, live agents, files, and fast questions—without breaking your terminal workflow.
Free download · macOS 15+ · Not affiliated with xAI
Native SwiftUI
Powered by the real CLI
CLI-native local history
Live sessions
Context, visible
The CLI, composed
A native home for serious agent work.
Xnative does not replace Grok Build. It gives the CLI a visual operating system—so the work stays compatible while the workflow becomes easier to see, steer, and resume.
Every session, in view.
Search history, pin important work, watch live sessions, and reopen the same conversations the CLI already stores on disk.
Complexity, made legible.
See context usage, queues, loops, tool activity, model choice, and permissions without translating command-line flags in your head.
Quick Ask
Grok, from wherever you are.
Open a floating, non-disruptive chat from the menu bar or your chosen keyboard trigger. Ask, attach, capture, or resume—without leaving the app you are working in.
- Recent conversations and a dedicated working folder
- Paste files or images; capture a region only when needed
- Choose model and reasoning effort right in the panel
Depth when you need it
Agent power, without terminal tunnel vision.
The details that make long-running work manageable are not hidden. Xnative turns them into controls you can understand at a glance.
Cloud, local, or custom. You choose the brain.
Switch models per conversation, set reasoning effort, and manage the same model configuration used by Grok CLI—including custom and local endpoints.
Answers that feel native.
Weather, markets, maps, system health, reminders, and more can render as glanceable SwiftUI cards—not walls of text.
Keep working while Grok works.
Send another message while a turn is running and Xnative queues it. Compact long context, monitor loops, and see live state without guessing.
Context you can inspect.
Browse project files, session context, attachments, and generated artifacts beside the conversation that created them.
A familiar mental model
Folder. Conversation. Go.
No new platform to learn and no proprietary cloud history to migrate. Xnative organizes the local Grok workflow you already have.
Add a project
Choose a folder on your Mac. That directory becomes Grok’s working context.
Start a conversation
Ask naturally, attach references, choose flags, and let Grok use its tools.
Resume anywhere
Continue from Xnative or the terminal. The underlying CLI session stays the source of truth.
Independent Mac app
Built for the way Grok already works.
Xnative is free to download and requires no separate app account. It uses the Grok CLI installation and xAI account on your Mac, while reading conversation history from the CLI’s local session store.
Put Grok where the work is.
Download Xnative and turn your existing Grok CLI workflow into a native Mac workspace.
Requires macOS 15 or later
