Download free Grok desktop app for Windows, Mac & Linux. Native xAI client with offline conversation history, RAG document search, MCP tools, and multi-AI support. No X Premium required.
Askimo transforms Grok from a simple chat interface into a full AI studio — with RAG, code block execution, MCP tool integrations, and multi-provider switching.
Use Grok through the xAI API with your own API key — no X/Twitter subscription needed. Get full access to the latest Grok models from a clean desktop interface.
Native desktop app for all three platforms. Download once and use Grok anywhere — including offline access to your conversation history without a browser.
All your Grok conversations stored locally with full-text search. Never lose a chat — instantly find any response across your entire history.
Use Grok alongside Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, or Ollama without switching apps. A popular workflow: Grok for real-time news context, Claude for long documents, Ollama for private tasks.
Connect once. Every conversation is stored locally on your machine, searchable, exportable, and available offline. You own your history.
Add your Grok credentials in Settings. Askimo connects through the official API. No middleman, no data stored on Askimo servers.
Chat is just the start. Index your docs with RAG, connect tools via MCP, run local agents with Skills, and automate workflows with AI Plans. (RAG, MCP, Skills, AI Plans)
Grok is one of many. Switch to Ollama for private tasks, Claude for long documents, or Gemini for speed. All in the same interface, no extra setup.
Index your docs, code, and notes. AI answers grounded in your own knowledge base, not the open internet.
AI agents that read files, run commands, call APIs, and execute git operations. Not just chat.
Run AI agents directly on your local files and project directories via Gemini CLI, Claude Code or Codex CLI.
Chain multiple AI prompts into automated workflows. Each step builds on the last: research, analyse, write, all in one run.

Common questions about using Grok with Askimo App.
Yes. Askimo is a free, open-source desktop app for Grok that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It connects to the official xAI API using your own API key, giving you a native desktop experience with offline conversation history, RAG document search, MCP tools, and multi-provider support — all without needing X Premium or a browser.
xAI does not publish an official Grok desktop application. The official Grok interface is web-based at grok.com or embedded in the X/Twitter app. Askimo is an independent, third-party desktop client that connects to Grok via the public xAI API — giving you a native desktop experience with local conversation storage that the official web interface does not offer.
You can download Askimo — a free Grok desktop client for Windows, Mac, and Linux. After installing Askimo, add your xAI API key (from console.x.ai) in Settings, and you'll have a fully native Grok desktop experience. No X Premium subscription is required; you pay only for API tokens you use.

Yes. Askimo supports multiple AI providers simultaneously. A useful pattern is to use Grok for queries that benefit from its real-time X/Twitter data access, while using Claude or Ollama for tasks that need deeper reasoning or complete privacy — all without switching applications.
No, Askimo is an independent third-party application that connects to various AI providers including Grok through their public APIs. Askimo is not affiliated with xAI or X Corp in any way.
Grok's primary differentiator is real-time access to X/Twitter data, which gives it unique awareness of current events, trending topics, and social discourse. For most coding or writing tasks, ChatGPT or Claude are stronger. Grok is most valuable when you specifically need current social or news context.
Askimo App isn't limited to Grok. Connect multiple providers and switch based on your needs.
