If you’ve ever worked with a batch of Antminers and got tired of logging into every single one, APMinerTool is the time-saver you didn’t know you needed.
It’s a small Windows program from Bitmain that lets you find, monitor, and control all your miners on the local network at once.
There’s nothing fancy about it — it’s not cloud software, there’s no web dashboard, and you won’t find any “smart automation.” But that’s what makes it good. It’s clean, direct, and does exactly what it’s supposed to: you open it, hit Scan, and in a few seconds, every miner on your LAN appears on the list.
From there, you can change pools, reboot rigs, push new firmware, or reset units in bulk — all from one screen.
Technical Overview
Attribute Detail

Best Use Case Daily ASIC management and quick maintenance
What It’s Like to Use
When you open the tool, it feels like something built by engineers, not marketers — small window, plain interface, no unnecessary tabs.
You click Start Scan and instantly see a full list of your connected Antminers — model, IP address, hash rate, uptime, fan speed, and temperature.
Need to switch mining pools? Select a few machines, paste the new credentials, and apply. Done.
Need to reboot half your farm? Same deal — highlight them, click Reboot, and move on.
It’s built for practicality, and that’s why a lot of miners stick with it.
Typical Workflow
1. Download APMinerTool from Bitmain’s official website.
2. Connect your PC to the same LAN as your miners.
3. Launch the app and click Start Scan.
4. Wait for all devices to appear in the table.
5. Select one or several miners and change pool or worker settings.
6. Optionally push a firmware update or reboot them remotely.
7. Monitor hash rate and temperature from the same window.
Where It’s Handy
• Quickly managing dozens of Antminers on the same network.
• Changing pool settings after maintenance or downtime.
• Rolling out new firmware versions without manual access.
• Detecting offline or overheated machines in real time.
• Keeping smaller farms running smoothly with minimal effort.
What to Watch Out For
• Only works on local networks — not over the internet.
• Don’t use modified or third-party versions — always download from Bitmain.
• Firmware flashing takes time — don’t power off mid-update.
• If a miner doesn’t show up, check subnet settings or disable the firewall temporarily.
• Wi-Fi connections can cause delays — wired LAN is best.
APMinerTool isn’t glamorous, but it’s one of those utilities that just becomes part of your day-to-day workflow.
It’s simple, quick, and quietly reliable — exactly what mining management software should be.
