Bitcoin tools for macOS
A focused collection of Mac apps for coordinating remote Bitcoin mining, monitoring public addresses and exploring the Bitcoin network one transaction and block at a time.
Mining network
Coordinate separate Mac and Linux Workers from one clear desktop app. The Coordinator itself does not mine; the connected Workers perform the hashing.
Bitcoin Miner Coordinator
Connect a Stratum V1 pool, discover Workers on your local network or private WireGuard network, select machines and see their live hashrate, session work and mining profile in one place.
Mac Worker
Configure CPU cores and Metal GPU use with Low, Balanced, High and Maximum performance profiles.
Linux Worker
A compact Linux Worker for compatible VPS and Linux machines, managed from the Coordinator.
Gekko USB ASIC Worker
One Mac Worker controls supported GekkoScience USB ASICs through suitable powered hubs and receives private Coordinator work.
Private networking
Connect remote Workers through a private network without exposing a mining port to the public internet.
Bitcoin Miner Balance · Free
A small menu bar app for Braiins Pool accounts. It shows the current balance, today's reward, the account hashrate, every worker mining under the account and the daily history, with the value in euro or US dollar at the current Bitcoin price.
Wallet & addresses
Read-only tools for following public Bitcoin addresses without importing a wallet, recovery phrase or private key.
Bitcoin Address Monitor
Monitor balances and transactions, name addresses, group them by purpose and review outgoing transaction outputs. Everything stays read-only and local to your Mac.
A Bitcoin wallet is planned separately. Bitcoin Address Monitor cannot send, spend or receive Bitcoin.

This website describes the functions and intended uses of BTC Miner Tools applications. We make reasonable efforts to keep this information accurate and current, but do not guarantee that all information is complete, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose.
Bitcoin Miner Coordinator coordinates compatible, user-controlled Worker applications. Bitcoin Miner Balance displays account figures reported by Braiins Pool and cannot move funds. Mining is probabilistic. Hashrate, share acceptance, pool results and potential rewards depend on external systems and conditions and are not guaranteed.
Displayed blockchain, mempool, transaction, address and market information is based on public or third-party data sources. It may be delayed, incomplete or different from information visible to other nodes, mining pools or service providers.
BTC Miner Tools is a technical and educational product. It does not provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Any estimated profit, loss, fee or fiat value is informational only.
Purchases and downloads through the Mac App Store are additionally subject to Apple's applicable terms and conditions. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

Bitcoin Address Monitor stores monitored public addresses, names, groups and notes locally on the user's Mac. It does not request recovery phrases or private keys. Bitcoin Mempool Monitor, Bitcoin Block Monitor and Bitcoin Transaction Tree retrieve publicly available Bitcoin network data from their selected data sources. Bitcoin Miner Coordinator may connect to a user-selected Stratum pool and to compatible Workers on the local network or a separately configured private network. Bitcoin Miner Balance connects to Braiins Pool with a read-only API token the user enters; the token is stored in the user's Keychain and sent only to Braiins. Bitcoin prices are retrieved from public market data providers.
Connections to pools, data providers and other external services reveal the user's IP address and technical request data to the respective provider. Their use is governed by their own privacy policies.
Downloads, purchases and updates are processed by Apple. External services are governed by their respective privacy policies.
