Docker-based Twitch Drops miners can be useful for headless servers, but they are more setup than many Mac users want. SwiftMiner is built for people who want to download an app, connect Twitch, and let the miner run locally on macOS.
Native app instead of container setup
Install SwiftMiner like a normal Mac app. There is no Docker image to pull, no compose file to maintain, and no container filesystem to inspect when something goes wrong.
Mac integration
SwiftMiner uses macOS Keychain for Twitch tokens, macOS notifications for claim and auth alerts, and Menu Bar Mode for quiet background operation.
Optional web dashboard
If you still want browser access, SwiftMiner includes an optional Web Dashboard. That gives you a web UI without making Docker the main way you run the miner.
When Docker might still fit
If you want a VPS, NAS, or fully headless Linux setup, Docker may still be the better fit. SwiftMiner's sweet spot is a Mac that is already on and can run a native signed app.
