Mac Hosting
Entire Mac mini hosted in the datacenter, running 24/7, ideal for long-term builds and macOS server workloads.
Mac VPS · macOS VPS
Dedicated macOS cloud server with full root access, rent by the day. More stable than shared VMs, ideal for multi-project isolated deployments.
Virtual Desktop Mac · VDI
Remotely access a graphical macOS desktop via VNC — view simulators and UI, reduce latency for cross-border team collaboration.
Mac mini Cloud
Apple M4 bare-metal Cloud Mac, supporting Xcode, iOS Simulator, Flutter and the full CI/CD toolchain.
Renting a Cloud Mac — what workloads does it cover?
Whether you're an iOS developer, a cross-border team, or an AI engineer, you can run native toolchains in a full macOS environment.
Xcode & iOS CI/CD
Compile, sign, and run the simulator on a Cloud Mac. Write code on Windows/Linux locally, offload heavy builds to the remote M4. Perfect as a GitHub Actions alternative and for multi-branch pipelines.
Mac Virtual Desktop · Remote Collaboration
Access Mac VDI graphical desktop via VNC — feels closer to local for cross-border teams. Dedicated IPv4 and nearby nodes (Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, US East) reduce latency.
AI Inference & macOS Experiments
Offload model inference and training orchestration to a remote M4, keep only debugging local. Full sudo access to install Core ML, Python, and any native macOS dependency.
