Native menu-bar control, explicit login-item consent, thermal throttling, signed updates and one-click pause.
Apple-first operator infrastructure
The Mac worker and iOS companion are an implementation track. There is no App Store listing, TestFlight build, installed daemon, live workload or operator income yet.
Native menu-bar control, explicit login-item consent, thermal throttling, signed updates and one-click pause.
CHAINMANDATE COMPANION
The wedge
Most provider stacks expect Linux administration, containers, Kubernetes or x86 hardware. ChainMandate jobs are deliberately small and deterministic, making an Apple-Silicon-first operator realistic.
Pause work on Low Power Mode, battery operation or serious thermal pressure.
Node identity in the Mac Keychain; iPhone approvals use a separate device key.
Poll the coordinator without opening a home-router port or requiring a static IP.
Only signed, versioned deterministic verifier packages with CPU, memory and time limits.
Distribution path
Direct download, Developer ID, hardened runtime and explicit background-service consent.
Join link, QR pairing, health, alerts, pause and modeled earnings—no on-device mining.
The same account can operate Amsterdam, Windows or Linux nodes through outbound polling.
