Grok built you an app and you want to send it to a few people without it turning up on Google. That has gone wrong for Grok users before. Every app published from Grok is public on grok.me, and shared Grok chats landed in Google Search by the hundreds of thousands. Here is what happens when you share from Grok, and how to publish a Grok app that anyone with the link can open while search engines skip it.
What happens when you share from Grok
- Shared chats ended up on Google. In August 2025, Forbes found Google had indexed more than 370,000 shared Grok conversations. The share links didn't tell search engines to skip them.
- Every published app is public. A Grok app you publish lives at a public grok.me address. There is no private option, so anyone can open it and search engines can find it.
- Search results are slow to clear. Once a page is indexed, removing it from Google takes time, and copies can linger in other search engines.
Publish it on DocStash instead
DocStash is a home for the pages and apps your AI makes. An app you publish there opens for anyone with the link, no login needed, but it tells search engines not to index it, so it always stays off Google. You can also share it with only certain people. Bring the code you already have, or connect Grok and let it save the app for you.
Already have the HTML?

- Share it. Click Publish for a public link, or share it with specific people.
Let Grok save it to DocStash
- and follow the quick setup. Grok adds DocStash as a custom connector.
- Ask Grok to save the app. Say "save this app to DocStash". You get one link like
docstash.ai/<slug>, private until you publish it. - Publish it, out of Google. Click Publish and anyone with the link can open it, no login needed. DocStash tells search engines not to index it, so it always stays off Google.
- Choose who sees it. Keep it private, share it with certain people as viewers or editors, or publish it. Unpublish any time and publish again at the same link.

FAQ
Do shared Grok chats show up on Google?
They have. In August 2025, Google had indexed more than 370,000 shared Grok conversations. To keep a chat out of search, don't create a share link for it. DocStash hosts what Grok builds, not the chat itself.
Are published Grok apps public?
Yes. Every app published on grok.me is public, so anyone can open it and search engines can find it. An app you publish on DocStash always tells search engines not to index it, and you can keep it private or share it with certain people instead.
Does Grok work with DocStash?
Yes. Grok supports custom MCP connectors, so you can add DocStash and ask Grok to save apps straight to it.
Can I put the app on my own domain?
Yes. On Pro, connect a domain you own and your published apps serve from it.
Can I update the app after publishing?
Yes. Ask Grok for changes and save again. The same link shows the latest version, and Activity keeps every earlier one.
