About

Hashglow

Features
Read full description

Hashglow is a read-only monitor for your solo Bitcoin miners. Watch your whole fleet at a glance — is every rig online, hashing, and cool? — from the couch or from anywhere in the world. READ-ONLY BY DESIGN Hashglow can watch everything and change nothing. It cannot touch your pool, your payout address, your clocks, or your power. A bug in an app can't brick or hijack a miner it was never able to control. That's not a promise — the app has no command to send. WHAT YOU SEE - Fleet view: total hashrate, how many rigs are online, and the hottest one - Per-miner detail: hashrate, ASIC and voltage-regulator temps, power, shares, fan - Best Difficulty, tracked as your all-time high score - A block-lottery bar showing how close your best share is to finding a block FROM ANYWHERE Run the free open-source companion bridge on something always-on at home (a Raspberry Pi, Umbrel, or Mac) and check your fleet over cellular. Everything that leaves your house is encrypted and signed. No account. No sign-up. Nothing phones home. ALERTS AxeOS DOESN'T HAVE Get notified when a rig goes offline, overheats, stalls, or lands a new best difficulty. MAKE IT YOURS Nine looks, from clean minimal to synthwave, terminal green, retro pixel, and steampunk. Great on a phone, an iPad on the wall by your rack, or an Apple TV as an ambient fleet display. WORKS WITH Bitaxe (Ultra, Supra, Gamma, Max), NerdQAxe+/++, and other AxeOS / ESP-Miner devices on your network. Not affiliated with Bitaxe, NerdQAxe, or AxeOS. Don't trust — verify. The app is read-only, account-free, and open source, so you can check every claim yourself.
