Where it started
It started with a build queue that never cleared.
Our team once waited on CI builds for an iOS project. It needed macOS, Xcode, and a reliable environment, but the options fell short: buying a new machine for a busy stretch meant a hefty upfront cost, while shared machines meant competing with other builds for resources. What we needed wasn’t a long-term hardware budget. It was a Mac ready to take on the work now—and available to return when we were done.
So we kept the service focused: a whole Mac mini, available to rent for as little as one day. You choose what to run and how long to rent it; we provide the machine and connection details. The goal isn’t to make your development setup more complex—it’s to keep a temporary build task from turning into a hardware purchase.
01A real machine
macOS runs directly on a Mac mini. We don’t split one machine into multiple virtual machines.
02Dedicated resources
Each rental gets one physical machine. Its CPU, memory, and built-in storage aren’t shared with other renters.
03Rent for the task
Rent for a day to ship a release, a week for a sprint, or longer for ongoing builds. Short tasks don’t have to start with a monthly plan.
Why a dedicated physical machine
Keep build uncertainty in your code—not your neighbors.
In a shared environment, you can’t control when another task uses the resources. XcodeVPS gives you an entire dedicated physical machine, not a VM: the chip, unified memory, and built-in storage are yours for the rental term. Build times will still vary by project, but you won’t be competing with other renters for the machine’s hardware.
Choose memory for your workload
The XV M4 Runner has 16 GB of memory. For more parallel tasks or Simulator workloads, choose the XV M4 Studio with 24 GB. Both are M4 physical machines.
Storage included with the machine
The Runner includes a 256 GB SSD; the Studio has a 512 GB SSD. Use these capacities to decide whether you’ll need extra storage for source code, build caches, and test assets.
Use macOS with its graphical interface or connect over SSH to work in the command line. Connection credentials are provided after provisioning; for setup steps, visit the Help Center.
Why rent by the day?
The machine should fit your workload—not the other way around.
A release day, a compatibility test cycle, or a temporary boost to your CI queue all have a clear start and end. Rent for as little as one day to get the macOS environment you need now. If you need it longer, choose a weekly, monthly, or quarterly term.
Shorter isn’t always cheaper. The XV M4 Runner costs $21.4 per day or $57.8 per week. If you expect to use it for three consecutive days, the daily rate adds up to $64.2, so the weekly plan is the better value. Estimate your task duration before choosing, and leave time for backups and wrap-up.
Estimate your rental term
Release crunch
List the archive, test, and upload steps, then choose a daily or weekly plan based on how long they’ll take.
Scale up team CI
Decide how many tasks need to run at once, then choose whether to queue them on one machine or rent multiple machines to handle them separately.
Test and experiment
Check memory, storage, and data requirements first. There’s no need to commit to a long rental for a short experiment.
Back up your files before the rental ends. Machines that aren’t renewed by the end of the term are reclaimed and fully reset.
Choose a location
Four Asia-Pacific locations, chosen for practical proximity.
Remote desktop responsiveness depends on the network route, so consider the distance between your team and the machine before ordering. We offer both listed configurations in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong, with Asia-Pacific development teams in mind. Location alone doesn’t determine your latency; connection quality also depends on your local network and carrier routing.

A good fit for teams based in Southeast Asia who want nearby access to a remote desktop.

Our commitments
Clear pricing, clear data handling, clear machine ownership.
When renting a remote machine, it matters whether it can run Xcode—but that’s not all. Before you pay, you should know what it will cost. Once connected, you should know who uses the hardware. Before your rental ends, you should know what happens to your data. Here are our clear answers.
Rates published by term
Daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly rates for both configurations are listed on the Plans page—line by line. Extra storage and Thunderbolt 5 daisy-chaining are priced separately, so you can check the full cost before choosing.
All prices in USD
Pay with USDT-TRC20 or Visa, Mastercard, and Amex processed by Stripe. Available payment gateways are shown in the console. Stripe handles card details; they never pass through our servers.
One machine, one renter
During your rental, the machine’s CPU, memory, and built-in storage aren’t allocated to anyone else. You get a complete macOS environment with both a graphical interface and command-line access.
We don’t access your files
Source code, certificates, and test assets stored on your Cloud Mac remain yours. We don’t access or analyze them. When a rental ends without renewal, the machine is reclaimed and fully reset. Please back up your files during your rental.
