Use an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later and compatible Bitaxe hardware on a reachable, trusted local network. Enter its IP address or hostname under Mac app settings. Allow Local Network access if macOS asks. One miner is monitored at a time.

Check the address, miner power, network, and Local Network permission. Missing sensors appear unavailable. Firmware can expose different fields; the reference API is ESP-Miner v2.14.1. Last-received readings are labeled when the connection fails.

The minus button hides the panel. Choose Show Monitor from the processor icon in the menu bar. The × button quits the app.

Review changes before applying them. Pool changes require a separate restart. A lost response can mean a command was applied; reload before retrying. Pool passwords are not returned by AxeOS, so a saved password cannot be verified. Tuning can affect hardware heat and stability.

Accepted shares and best-share difficulty are device statistics, not confirmed blocks or guaranteed earnings. This independent companion does not mine on your Mac or hold cryptocurrency. Never expose an unauthenticated miner directly to the internet.

Include the app version, macOS version, miner model, firmware version, and connection symptoms. Redact miner addresses, worker names, pool credentials, and other private network details.
