CPU / memory / storage ownershipYours alone

One machine, just for you · No shared quotas

Every Mac mini is a real, physical machine

You don't share CPU, memory, or storage with anyone else, and your machine doesn't run in a VM. Develop on it just as you would on a local Mac, with full access to the macOS desktop and command line.

Dedicated resources mean clear ownership, not zero contention between tasks. Compiling, running simulators, and doing inference on the same machine still draw on the same memory. Choose a configuration to match your workload, then manage concurrency for more predictable results.

  • Xcode and version management
  • Parallel simulator testing
  • On-device debugging workflows
  • Code signing and release workflows
  • Keychain and certificate management
  • Remote desktop and SSH

A remote machine can't connect to a USB device sitting next to you. If you need to connect a physical device, check the connection path first. Manage signing certificates and provisioning profiles according to your project's access requirements.

Who is it for?

Four developers, four ways to work

Pick a plan for your workload on a dedicated Mac mini. First, identify whether memory, storage, or task concurrency is your bottleneck.

Indie iOS developer

Run device regression tests before release

Rent for a day before release, run your build and regression tests, then stop. No need to buy another machine for a short sprint. Sync your project and test scripts first, and confirm how you'll connect a physical device.

Recommended planHold 16

CI/CD team

Run a self-hosted runner

Register a self-hosted GitHub Actions or GitLab Runner so builds run on your machine. Set permissions by repository, validate with serial jobs first, then gradually increase test concurrency.

Recommended planHold 24

Distributed team

Share a development machine across shifts

Team members in different regions can take turns using the same Mac mini with separate accounts. Schedule access to the desktop and keep shared projects separate from personal credentials. If everyone needs to work interactively at the same time, consider splitting the workload across multiple machines.

Recommended planHold 24

AI experimenter

Run MLX inference locally

Experiment with MLX inference using 64GB of unified memory. Whether a model fits also depends on quantization, context length, and runtime cache. Test with your actual model first, then commit to a longer rental if it works for you.

Latency ranges are a guide for choosing a location, not a guarantee from every network. For interactive development, consider the route between you and the machine. For automated builds, also account for how code, dependencies, and artifacts are transferred. Availability is confirmed in real time in the console.

From order to ready

Up and running in about 4 minutes

Choose a plan and location. After payment, the system assigns and initializes a physical machine, then delivers your connection details in the console.

These are typical step durations, not a countdown. Payment confirmation, initialization, and your network can affect delivery time. Check your order status in the console.

≈4minutes total
  1. Choose a plan and location

    Pick from 3 configurations and 5 locations. Choose where your Mac will be, then check the rental term, additional storage, and order total to make sure the machine has room for your workload.

    About 1 min
  2. Choose a payment method

    Pay with USDT-TRC20, or with Visa / Mastercard / Amex via Stripe. All charges are in USD. Available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend; check the network and recipient details before transferring.

    About 1 min
  3. Machine assignment and setup

    A Mac mini is reserved for your order and initialized with macOS. Closing the payment page does not cancel your order; check its status in the console for updates.

    About 1.5 min
  4. Get your connection details

    Your remote desktop and SSH details appear in the console. Change the initial password on first login, check the system and toolchain versions, then clone your code. Never share connection credentials in a public repository.

Uptime

99.9%

Monthly uptime commitment

Your machine needs to be online for delivery to be complete. All locations run year-round, 365 days a year, so work can continue across time zones.

90-day viewOne bar per day
Olive green = normalIllustrative graphic, not historical monitoring data

If monthly uptime falls below 99.9%, service time is extended based on the duration of unavailability.

If you have connection issues, first check whether the cause is your local network, system configuration, or the location. Include your machine ID, the time, and the error details in your support ticket. See the Terms of Service for the commitment and compensation rules.

Billing terms

Daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Renew or stop when your term ends.

Longer terms mean a lower effective daily rate. Rent by the day for a short sprint or by the quarter for a longer project. Watch for reminders before your term ends; whether to renew is up to you. Before you stop renting, back up your code, certificates, and any artifacts you need to keep.

  • Daily · Short-term capacity
  • Weekly · Release sprints
  • Monthly · Dedicated development machine
  • Quarterly · Long-running CI

If you run low on storage, clear rebuildable caches first, then consider an SSD add-on. Thunderbolt 5 daisy-chaining is billed per machine. Multi-machine workflows also require application support; memory from separate machines does not combine automatically.

Put your needs into words

Three reasons to rent

These example scenarios can help you decide whether renting makes sense for your current workload.

“Rent for a day before an overnight release, run regression tests, then stop. Easier than buying a new machine.”
Indie iOS developer · Example scenario
“Keep the runner on a fixed machine so the toolchain and caches are ready to go.”
Mobile CI lead · Example scenario
“Test the model with 64GB of memory, take the results with you, then end the rental when the experiment is done.”
AI experimenter · Example scenario
FAQ

Questions to ask before you order

Check who owns the resources, how you'll connect, and how to retrieve your data. For more on connections, signing, and migration, visit the Support Center.

Not sure which plan to choose? Share your project size, simulator count, or model requirements. That makes it easier to give practical advice than asking which machine is “fastest.”

Is it a virtual machine?
No. Each Mac mini is a separate physical machine, and its CPU, memory, and storage are not shared with other tenants. Tasks you run on your machine still share its resources with one another.
What workloads suit daily rentals?
Daily rentals work well for temporary builds, release regression testing, and short-term validation. All 3 plans have a daily rate. If your workload will run continuously for longer, compare weekly, monthly, and quarterly pricing before choosing a term.
Which payment methods are supported?
Pay with USDT-TRC20, or with Visa / Mastercard / Amex via Stripe. All charges are in USD. Available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend. Check the order total and billing term before paying.
How do I connect after delivery?
Sign in to the console to find your remote desktop and SSH details, then follow the support guide to connect. Change the initial password, keep a secure backup of your own, and configure your toolchain. Never share connection credentials publicly.
What happens to the data on my machine when I stop renting?
The disk is erased before the machine is reassigned to another user. Export your projects, build artifacts, and any configuration you need to keep before your rental ends. Don't use the machine's disk as your only backup.

“Put your Mac close to the users it serves.”

Choose a plan and location, then connect to your machine in about 4 minutes. From $21/day, billed in USD. Keep your toolchain remote and your development workflow in your hands.
