SwiftMiner is built for people who want Twitch Drops to keep progressing while they use their Mac normally. Instead of relying on a browser window, a container, or a remote service, SwiftMiner keeps each miner session running locally on macOS.
What a Twitch Drops miner does
A Twitch Drops miner watches eligible streams for campaigns you care about, tracks reward progress, and claims completed rewards when Twitch makes them available. SwiftMiner also checks campaign eligibility, switches away from unusable streams, and keeps an activity log so you can see what happened.
Why use a native Mac app?
A native app can keep mining quietly in the background, integrate with macOS notifications, store Twitch tokens in Keychain, and present account status without managing browser tabs. SwiftMiner is also signed and notarized, so it follows the normal macOS app trust path.
Start mining Twitch Drops on Mac
- Download SwiftMiner:
Install the latest signed release from the SwiftMiner download page.
- Add a Twitch account:
Use the Twitch activation flow described in Getting Started.
- Check active drops:
Open the Drops tab to see available campaigns, linked accounts, upcoming rewards, and claim status.
- Leave SwiftMiner running:
Use Menu Bar Mode if you want the app to keep mining after the main window closes.
When to check the app
Most sessions can run unattended, but check SwiftMiner when an account shows Needs Auth, when a game requires a publisher account link, or when you want to prioritize a specific campaign. The troubleshooting guide covers the common recovery paths.
