Node client
Turn your Apple device into a node.
The MLX node client connects your Mac, iPhone or iPad to the network and earns MLX for the compute it delivers. It is in active development — the beta is not out yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Beta in development- Coming with the beta
macOS
macOS 15+ on any M-series Mac. The workhorse — full GPU and Neural Engine throughput while your Mac idles.
- Coming with the beta
iOS
iOS 18+ on iPhone 15 Pro and later. Overnight shifts only: the client runs while the phone is charging and locked.
- Coming with the beta
iPadOS
iPadOS 18+ on M-series iPads. Home-docked iPads are the quietest compute you own.
No download links exist yet. Email hello@mlx.app to join the waitlist and get the beta the day it ships.
Runs only when idle
The client schedules work in idle windows: plugged in, screen off, not in active use. Your device, your rules.
Sandboxed workloads
Every job runs in an isolated sandbox. The network sees results and telemetry, never your files or data.
You control the dial
Pause anytime, cap power draw, reserve battery. The client stops work the moment you pick the device up.
