TechBitsMix builds a family of four Apple-platform apps that let people monitor, protect and get the most out of the miners and pools they run, without accounts, servers or tracking.
Each app targets a different kind of miner or device, and all four share the same engineering and the same privacy promise.
The flagship: monitor and control every kind of home miner, from open-source solo miners to rack ASICs.
A focused, low-cost monitor for the fast-growing Bitaxe / NerdAxe open-source solo-mining community.
The always-on desktop control room. New device support and features ship here first, then port to iPhone.
A read-only, pool-neutral dashboard for the pools solo and home miners actually use.

The miner apps share one device-integration approach: each protocol is implemented once, then ported across the family. Every change is tracked in a shared changelog with a per-app port-status matrix, so all three stay in sync.
Miners are rightly wary of software that touches their hardware or their earnings. The whole family is built so there's nothing to trust us with.
There are no TechBitsMix servers. Apps talk directly to miners on the local network, or directly to a pool's own API over HTTPS.
Every app carries Apple's “Data Not Collected” privacy label: no analytics, ads or third-party SDKs.
Pool API keys live in the iOS Keychain; optional Face ID lock. Sync uses the user's own private iCloud.
PoolMonitor cannot move funds: no wallet, withdrawals or payout changes, and it only uses read-only keys.
Auto-recovery is opt-in, attempt-capped, and only uses each device's official settings API.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to leak. For an acquirer, there's no user database to secure or migrate.
TechBitsMix is a founder-led studio with no burn rate. Capital or a strategic home, such as a hardware maker, pool operator or mining-software company, would turn a profitable niche toolkit into the default app layer for home miners.
Simple one-time pricing that miners like. Every sale is pure margin after Apple's commission: no hosting, no per-user cost.
Home and solo mining is growing with open-source hardware and compact home ASICs. Most tools are vendor-locked web dashboards or need cloud accounts.
One integration serves three miner apps; each new pool opens a new community for PoolMonitor.
Sole proprietor owns 100% of the code and IP. No servers, contracts or user data to unwind, so App Store transfer is straightforward.
Native Swift codebases with shared changelogs, port-status tracking and fast App Store release cycles.
PoolMonitor for Mac, more pools, more device families, and optional one-time Pro unlocks.
Hardware makers and resellers wanting a first-class companion app; mining pools wanting a trusted mobile front-end; and wallet or mining-software companies adding a home-miner audience.
Plans, not promises. Timing depends on App Store review and hardware makers' firmware changes.
