Sparehand

Download Sparehand

The Mac app. It starts a 14-day full free trial the first time you open it, and no card is needed.

Ask for early access

The public download opens with the first signed release; until then, write to support@sparehand.dev for a copy. Requires macOS 14 or newer, on Apple silicon or Intel. Everything you need, and what changed in each version.

Getting started

  1. Install the app

    Open the downloaded file and drag Sparehand to Applications. Open it; it sets up the sparehand command for you.

  2. Add a spare computer

    In the app choose Add a machine, then Pair with a code. Run the one command it shows on the other computer and check that both screens show the same code.

  3. Run something

    In a project folder, run sparehand run npm test (or any slow command).

What you need

  • Your main Mac with macOS 14 or newer (Apple silicon or Intel)
  • One or more other computers: a Mac, a Windows PC with WSL2 (set up as an administrator), or a Linux machine
  • Your projects in git folders
  • For GPU jobs and local pictures or clips: a machine with an NVIDIA graphics card. The beta features need more: see Requirements.
