Version 1.2 on the Mac App Store · 1.3 coming

The always-on mining control room on your Mac.

Your Mac is already on all day. Miner Watcher turns it into a 24/7 monitoring station for every miner on your network: watching, alerting and recovering in the background, with no window open and no cloud account.

How it works

Set it once, then forget about it

Miner Watcher is designed to run quietly in the background so problems get handled even when you're not looking.

Scan your network

Find every compatible miner on your LAN, or add any miner by IP address.

Organise into groups

Group miners by room, type or pool. Every control works per device or per group.

Let it run

Enable launch at login. Monitoring, alerts and auto-recovery continue in the background.

Features

Desktop-class control for a home fleet

Everything in the iPhone apps, plus the extra muscle a Mac that's always on makes possible.

Fleet dashboard

Live hashrate, temperature, power, best share and uptime, with per-algorithm units and totals.

Background alerts

Native macOS notifications for heat, low hashrate, offline miners, best shares and blocks found.

Auto-recovery

Per-miner scheduled reboots and low-hashrate reboots. A missed window fires late once instead of being skipped.

  • Reboot after N hours or at a set time
  • Reboot if hashrate stays under threshold 5+ min

Pool control

Switch a group between Primary and Fallback; the switch is forced on every miner and re-checked after 5 minutes.

  • Beta: automatic per-group rotation every 1–24 h

Tuning

Fan, performance/work mode, frequency and voltage on supported hardware, per device or fleet-wide.

Multi-coin block odds

BTC or BCH solo odds, plus Scrypt (LTC/DOGE) and Zcash odds when you run those miners, each switchable.

Bulk pool & wallet changes

Change the pool or payout wallet for one hardware type or the whole fleet in a single step.

Menu bar & launch at login

A menu-bar indicator shows fleet status at a glance; launch at login keeps monitoring running after restarts.

Brand-free labels

Rename every miner whatever you like; the app stays neutral.

Supported miners

The widest hardware support in the family

Miner Watcher supports everything BlockSeeker does. New device support usually lands here first.

Open-source solo minersAxeOS API

  • Bitaxe (all models)
  • NerdAxe & NerdQAxe
  • NMAxe

Compact home ASICsCGMiner API

  • Canaan Avalon Nano 3 & 3S
  • Goldshell Mini-DOGE (Scrypt)

  • Bitmain Antminer, stock firmware
  • Vnish, Braiins OS, LuxOS
  • Incl. L7 (Scrypt) & Z-series (Equihash)

Pool rotation is in Beta and works best on AxeOS devices; it's hidden for Avalon for now. Miner Watcher is independent and not affiliated with any hardware or firmware maker.

Safety · Security · Privacy

A control room that stays inside your house.

Miner Watcher connects only to devices on your local network, using their own APIs. Quit the app and it stops; nothing keeps running elsewhere.

Support

Questions? I answer every email.

Email TechBitsMix@gmail.com for help, bug reports or feature requests.

My miners aren't showing up.

Make sure your Mac is on the same local network as your miners and allow Local Network access in macOS. Then use Scan, or add a miner by its IP address.

Does it keep working with the window closed?

Yes. Monitoring and alerts continue in the background while the app is running. Quitting the app stops monitoring. Enable launch at login from the Controls tab.

Which devices are supported?

Bitaxe, NerdAxe/NerdQAxe and NMAxe (AxeOS); Avalon Nano miners; Goldshell Mini-DOGE; and Antminer units on stock, Vnish, Braiins OS or LuxOS firmware.

What can I control?

Reboot, switch pools, set fan or performance/work mode, and tune frequency and voltage on supported hardware, per device or fleet-wide.

Does Miner Watcher collect my data?

No. It runs entirely on your local network with no account and no tracking. See the Privacy Policy.
