How Offtime works
Your Mac works.
You get paid.
Someone gets compute.
Offtime connects unused Mac compute with people who need it.
The simple version
Your Mac doesn’t have to sit idle.
Offtime handles the matching, execution, billing, and cleanup.
Your MacAvailable compute

Someone’s jobSupported workload
- 01You stop using your Mac.
- 02Offtime makes its spare compute available.
- 03Someone’s workload runs.
- 04You get paid for actual usage.
For providers
Turn your Mac’s downtime into income.
Set it up once. Offtime can take it from there whenever your Mac is available.
Step 02
Choose your rules
Decide when Offtime can work. Change your mind whenever you like.

Step 03
Go about your day
No jobs to hunt down. No machine to babysit. Offtime works when your rules allow it.
Step 04
Get paid
Your earnings reflect the time your Mac’s compute was actually used. Earnings are not guaranteed.

Offtime does the hard part.
Offtime matches each job with a Mac that meets the workload’s requirements.

Built for real life.
Provider Macs can go offline. Supported jobs are designed to retry or resume from a checkpoint when possible—without pretending every interruption can disappear.

Owner priority
Need your Mac back?
Just use it.
No negotiation with a renter. No waiting for permission. Your computer always wins.

Stopping compute…Sharing paused.
Stopping compute…Sharing paused.
Offtime stops or drains the current workload. Supported jobs can retry or resume from checkpoints when needed; workloads do not magically move live between Macs.
Security & privacy
Your Mac stays yours.
People don’t get remote access to your Mac. Offtime runs supported workloads separately from your personal environment.
What renters can use
- Offtime compute
- Approved workload environment
- Allocated resources
What renters cannot use
- Your files
- Your desktop
- Your browser
- Your apps
- Your Apple account
- Your personal data
Offtime limits renters to supported workload environments. As with any software running on hardware, security depends on the safeguards and workload isolation Offtime implements; it is not a promise of absolute protection from every possible threat.
