Mining Guardian

Mining Guardian puts your entire mining operation in your pocket โ no laptop in the container, no wifi in the hall, no compromises. Built for owners and operators running a Mining Guardian appliance, the app gives you everything the operations console does, at phone altitude: FLEET HEALTH AT A GLANCE See every miner's status the moment you open the app: online/offline counts, fleet hashrate against maximum, flagged units with plain-English diagnoses, and live curtailment state with the grid price and the system's mining decision. AI DEEP DIVE โ YOUR DAILY ANALYST Every day, Mining Guardian's AI reads your whole fleet and writes the analysis a senior technician would: fleet-wide synthesis, cohort comparisons, and per-miner diagnoses that separate a clogged strainer from a failing hashboard. Browse today's report or any day in history, including refinement passes, restart post-analyses, and hourly health. INTELLIGENCE CATALOG A full dossier on every hardware model you run: real specs, firmware history, known issues, market pricing and availability, repair procedures, cooling requirements, and an AI verdict grounded in your fleet's real-world data. APPROVE ACTIONS FROM ANYWHERE When the system wants to restart a hot miner or power-cycle an offline one through your smart PDU, it asks first. Review the evidence, see the confidence score, and approve or deny with a hardware-confirm step โ every action audited, executed exactly once. BUILD A SCAN โ ASK YOUR FLEET ANYTHING Compose custom scans from a library of checks (thermal, hashrate, cooling, power, availability), point them at the whole facility, one model, or one miner, and let the local AI or Claude write an evidence-grounded answer. AND THE REST OF THE CONSOLE Live activity timeline with job progress, automation-mode switch, scheduled task management with run-now, Grafana dashboard links, full scan history, and secure device pairing. TRY IT RIGHT NOW โ NO HARDWARE NEEDED Tap "Try the Demo" on the first screen to explore every feature with a realistic fictional 120-miner hydro site โ full fleet data, AI reports, and a working approvals queue. When you're ready for the real thing, pairing with your Mining Guardian appliance takes one code and ten seconds. Mining Guardian requires a Mining Guardian appliance on your site for live operation. Connect over your private network (Tailscale) or from anywhere via secure cloud relay. A Big Star Power product.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mining Guardian at daily against ZippyMine's every 2 weeks. ZippyMine's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
