- Seats mine: your rate per hour, a clear Free seat line, and an upgrade picker that marks what fits your Mac.
- Dedicated seats work back to back and the chart hums steadily; free seats pulse like a heartbeat. Every rate is shown per hour.
- A new menu bar icon: the MLX box, filled orange while your Mac is mining.
- Your seat at a glance (free or dedicated), an upgrade screen that picks the right seat for your Mac, and Send feedback now in Settings.
- MLX for macOS is now MLX Node, in Applications too, and nodes you buy are now dedicated seats. Same app, same wallet link: nothing to set up again.
- New Macs start with “After idle for” off: you start and stop MLX Node yourself. Set an idle time in Settings to have it start on its own.
- Appears on MLX World, the live map of the network, as the kind of Mac it is.
- Updates itself: when a new version is out, press Update in the panel and MLX Node downloads, checks and installs it, then restarts.
- Control it from your iPhone: pause, resume and limits set in MLX.app reach your Mac within a minute.
- See what your seat earns on this Mac, the most it can mine here a day, and its value in dollars.
- MLX mined today and locked, right in the menu bar.
- Your wallet inside the app, opened with your passkey.
- Everything in one panel under the menu bar icon. Set when your Mac may work, or start and stop it yourself.

You're in control
Choose when your Mac works and how much: when it's idle or whenever you start it, at the hours you pick, within your power, memory and heat limits. Pause or resume it from anywhere with MLX.app on iPhone or iPad.
Private by design
Tasks run in a sandbox with their own memory. MLX Node never reads your files, photos or messages, and every job it runs is listed in the open.
