Your Mac computer can do useful AI work when you aren't using it.

Install the provider app, decide when your Mac computer may accept jobs, and see completed work in an itemized earnings ledger. You stay in control of the machine.

macOS 14 SonomaApple Silicon (M1 or later)Provider v1.7.50

You can connect a Mac computer now. It is registered and shown in your dashboard, but it does not receive paid work until provider terms and operational reviews are complete. Existing enrolled providers are unaffected. Earnings are not guaranteed.

From idle computer to network provider.

01

Install the app

Download the signed and notarized macOS app, sign in, and register this Mac computer with your account.

02

Choose your rules

Select a run mode, require wall power, set a schedule, allow workload categories, and keep thermal protection on.

03

Accept matched work

The network offers jobs that fit the runtimes, memory, operating system, and models your Mac computer advertises.

04

Review earnings

Successful jobs appear in the ledger. Eligible balances are paid through your connected Stripe account.

Provider controls come first.

The app checks your run mode before it takes new work. Change the schedule, allowed workloads, power rules, or pause state whenever you need the computer back.

Different Mac computers qualify for different work.

Matching uses the capabilities your app reports. Larger models need more unified memory, and each offered workload may require particular operating-system and runtime versions.
