Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Grok Bot
Describe the Bug
Grok Bot desktop 0.24.0 on Mac (Apple silicon), installed from the official .dmg into Applications.
Symptom: app launches, briefly shows “setting up Grok’s computer,” then the window goes fully black. No buttons, no sign-in, no Settings. Same failure in the web client. I am trying the iPhone app next.
Already tried: redownload, copy to Applications, Gatekeeper Open, Force Quit leftovers, relaunch with --disable-gpu, kill local-exec-daemon and reopen. No change.
Activity Monitor shows one healthy Grok Bot process (not hung). It has live HTTPS connections to Cursor/AWS. Open files include GPU caches and ~/.grokbot/local-exec-daemon.log.
That log is a restart loop: helper starts, then SIGTERM or “desktop ownership lost, shutting down,” then starts again. Latest line is another start with no stable session.
This matches the stuck/unreachable Agent Computer issue from Aug 20–21. I cannot use Settings → Updates → Reset Grok Bot’s Computer because the UI never paints.
Please reset or recreate the Agent Computer on this account. Happy to send a request ID if you tell me where to find one on a black window.
Steps to Reproduce
Not sure. I have just tried to click into the app on the phone and desktop.
Operating System
MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
