TYO-M4P-07, dedicated physical Mac, not a VMRun Xcode builds, CI jobs, and MLX experiments on a dedicated M4. Get an entire physical Mac mini, not a VM. Typical setup takes about 4 minutes, with daily rentals starting at $20.2 /day.
Prices in USD · Card payments processed by Stripe · Availability is confirmed live in the console
Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US East Coast (Virginia). Both configurations are available at every location.
Typical time from registration to receiving connection credentials. Blockchain confirmation may add to the wait.
Based on 30 days, the downtime allowance is about 43 minutes. Downtime beyond that is credited as service time.
Flow M4 daily rate for M4 / 16GB / 256GB, billed in USD.
Tool names indicate compatibility, not endorsement. Configure project dependencies, tool versions, and build settings to match your repository.
After provisioning, check your configuration, billing term, and connection details. This interactive management demo does not connect to a real machine. Your actual node ID, expiry date, and credentials appear in your signed-in console.

Both configurations are available at all five locations. Choose a location based on your team’s proximity and access experience, then consider where to keep project caches and data. Machines run year-round, 365 days a year. For help with a specific instance, sign in to the console and submit a support ticket with your node ID.
Both plans provide an entire Mac mini, with the CPU, GPU, and unified memory dedicated to you. Start with a daily rental to validate your workload, then choose a weekly, monthly, or quarterly term based on how long you need it.

Base rental and add-ons are priced separately. Need more storage? Choose an extra 1TB or 2TB SSD. For multi-machine collaboration, consider Thunderbolt 5 daisy-chaining. It does not combine memory across machines into one pool; your apps must support the collaboration workflow.
Have your email address, intended use, and project ready. This is a typical provisioning timeline, not a guaranteed countdown. Payment confirmation and system readiness are shown in the console.
Card payments are usually confirmed instantly. USDT-TRC20 requires blockchain confirmation, which typically takes about 1 minute but varies with network conditions.
Sign up and verify your email. Manage orders, invoices, and support tickets from this account—no separate connection portal needed.
Pick one of the two configurations, then choose from five locations. Pay in advance by the day, week, month, or quarter. Review any add-ons and check the order total.
Pay with USDT-TRC20 or Visa / Mastercard / Amex processed by Stripe. Before transferring, verify the TRC20 network and order details. Available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend.
Provisioning starts after payment is confirmed. Your order is assigned a dedicated physical Mac. Connect once the system is ready—there’s no need to recreate your order.
Find connection details in your instance page in the console, and retrieve credentials from the notification. Change the default password after your first connection. For SSH, use a key where possible, then bring in your project and toolchain.
Start with memory and cache needs, then consider concurrency. Don’t choose based on framework name alone: dependencies, test volume, and parallel jobs can all affect what an Xcode project needs.
Run Xcode archives, IPA exports, and build scripts on a cloud Mac while you keep coding locally. Store signing assets in the dedicated system’s Keychain and configure access permissions for your project.
For device testing, check how your devices connect and what network access is needed. A cloud desktop is not a direct replacement for a local USB connection. Run a full build successfully before moving your regular workload.
Register a self-hosted runner in GitHub Actions or GitLab, then route jobs to the cloud node using labels. Keep dependencies and caches in a fixed workspace so pipelines no longer tie up developer laptops.
Start by validating the environment, permissions, and artifact paths with one job, then increase concurrency gradually. Manage build logs, certificates, and access tokens separately; never commit secrets to your repository.
The M4 Pro comes with 64GB of unified memory and a 2TB SSD. Create a dedicated Python environment for experiments, and keep model files, dependency versions, and inference settings together in a reproducible directory.
Whether a model fits depends on parameter count, quantization, and context length. Start with a daily rental to check memory usage, initial load time, and sustained performance before extending your term.

No. Each rental is a dedicated physical Mac mini, with its CPU, GPU, and unified memory reserved for you, running native macOS. Use the desktop or command line and configure Xcode, dependencies, and build scripts for your project.
A dedicated machine is not a substitute for project backups. Keep separate copies of your source code, signing assets, and model files—especially before your rental expires or you move to another location.
We accept USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex processed by Stripe. All payments are in USD. Available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend.
For USDT, verify the TRC20 network, order amount, and recipient details before sending. To ask about payment status, keep your order number and transaction hash, then submit a support ticket in the console.
Based on a 30-day period, the downtime allowance is about 43 minutes. Downtime beyond that allowance is credited as service time. Submit a support ticket in the console within 7 days of the incident ending, and include your node ID.
This is a service commitment, not a live uptime reading on the homepage. Nodes run year-round, 365 days a year. Terms for events beyond our control and user actions are covered in the service terms.
Check the expiry details in your console and renew or export your data in advance. When your rental ends, the machine is reclaimed and its entire disk is erased before it is assigned to another customer.
Before moving, check your project repositories, Keychain assets, build caches, and model files separately. Don’t leave the only copy on a machine whose rental is about to end. For renewals or term changes, refer to the options shown on the order page.
Find practical steps for choosing a plan, moving builds, and connecting remotely—all in one place, so you can review them before provisioning or refer back during setup.
