Grok Bot Gets Messages, Mail and Notes Access on Mac

Grok Bot on Mac now works with seven built-in apps, including Messages, Mail and Notes. Every app has its own Allow button, so you choose which ones the bot can use. Grok Bot announced the Mac update on X. Mail and Notes are new to the list, since the phone app access it added on iPhone and Android in October started with Calendar, Reminders and Contacts.

Grok Bot on Mac Can Send Messages

Each app comes with a short description of what the bot does with it. You can approve the ones you trust and leave the rest switched off.

• Messages to read and send messages
• Mail to search and draft emails
• Notes to read and write notes
• Reminders to set and check reminders
• Contacts to find and add contacts
• Location to find places near you

Calendar has its own Allow button on the same screen as the other six. Messages covers sending as well as reading, so allowing it lets the bot write to other people on your behalf.

Other Agents Reach Mac Apps Too

Meta’s Muse app for Mac already works across Mail, Messages, Calendar and Notes, and Meta says you control its access through macOS Settings, including Full Disk Access. Grok Bot covers those same four apps and adds Reminders, Contacts and Location. A community plugin called Apple Mac Tools reaches further than those seven apps. Its default install adds tools for Photos, Safari tabs, Maps, Find My, Shortcuts and Focus alongside Notes and Mail, and Messages, Reminders, Calendar and Contacts are optional backups. A third-party user built it rather than the Grok Bot team, and each local shell command it runs needs your approval. Reading iMessages through the plugin also needs Full Disk Access for the app that runs the commands.

Grok Bot Runs on Both Mac Chips

The Mac app comes as separate Apple silicon and Intel downloads, and it checks for updates on its own. You sign in with your Cursor account, and an account on Privacy Mode (Legacy) has to switch because Grok Bot stores data in the cloud. Grok Bot is included with the Premium, Super and Ultra plans on The X Subscription, and with individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy and X Premium+ subscriptions once you link a Grok account. It is also included with legacy paid individual Cursor plans, self-serve Cursor Teams and a seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan.
