Bitcoin Miner Balance: Your Mining Balance in the Menu Bar

A free Mac app for Braiins Pool accounts and Bitcoin addresses — available as a direct download.

Bitcoin Miner Balance: Your Mining Balance in the Menu BarHow many satoshis have you earned so far? What did mining bring in today? And are all your workers still running?

If you mine Bitcoin, these are numbers you check regularly. Bitcoin Miner Balance brings them directly to your Mac in a small menu bar app.

Keep an Eye on Your Braiins Pool Account

Bitcoin Miner Balance shows your current Braiins Pool account balance and today’s mining reward, along with your account hashrate, individual workers, and daily history.

You can quickly check how your balance is developing and see the workers mining under your account. If you run several devices, having them together in one overview is particularly useful.

Your balance stays within easy reach in the menu bar. Open the app for the additional details.

Track a Bitcoin Address, Too

You can also enter a Bitcoin address and track its balance — for example, the address you use for mining payouts.

Its current balance appears both in the app and in the menu bar. This lets you keep an eye on funds that have already been paid out to your address.

Your pool balance and your address balance represent different things: The pool account shows mining earnings held by the pool. The Bitcoin address shows its balance on the blockchain. A payout moves funds from the pool to the specified address.

What Is That Worth in Euros or Dollars?

Satoshis are a natural unit for mining rewards. For everyday context, it often helps to see their value in a familiar currency.

Bitcoin Miner Balance shows the value in euros or US dollars using the current Bitcoin price, making it easier to judge what your accumulated balance is worth.

That value changes with the Bitcoin price. Even when your BTC balance stays the same, its equivalent in euros or dollars can rise or fall.

Free and Available as a Direct Download

I developed Bitcoin Miner Balance as a small tool for checking mining earnings and Bitcoin balances. The key numbers should be easy to reach where you already work: in your Mac’s menu bar.

The app is free and available as a Universal version for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Download Bitcoin Miner Balance 1.0.2 for Free
