Workloads
Macs ready for build queues, remote sessions, and inference experiments
Choose a Mac mini M4 configuration, storage, location, and rental term, then connect to the entire dedicated physical device. Your development environment never shares compute resources or local storage with other tenants.
iOS and macOS development
Pin Xcode, SDK, certificates, and dependency versions to turn your local setup into a continuously connected team workstation. Ideal for projects requiring a graphical interface, command-line builds, and a long-lived environment.

AI inference experiments
Validate MLX workloads, model loading paths, and memory usage before purchasing hardware. Export results and remove temporary tokens after each experiment so your team can reproduce the conditions.

“Once I moved my local build queue to the cloud, I could take over tasks whenever I wanted instead of waiting for hardware at a fixed location to become available.”
“Each machine is dedicated, so environments are easier to reproduce. Runner toolchains and logs are also easier to manage by project.”
“I could validate the MLX workload without buying hardware first, then decide what to do next after confirming memory usage and model paths.”

Engineering workflow
From connecting a device to joining a build pipeline
Replace the example parameters. Teams should manage connection parameters, versions, code-signing materials, and third-party tokens according to the principle of least privilege.

Migration path
From local Mac to cloud Mac: a reproducible environment in three steps
Sync project data
Confirm how repositories, build artifacts, and required files will be synced. Exclude caches and sensitive materials that do not need to move.
Restore the toolchain
Verify Xcode, SDK, package manager, certificate, and dependency versions, then validate the environment with a complete build.
Connect the Runner
Inject short-lived tokens, configure log redaction, and remove temporary files and build credentials when the pipeline ends.

Order and device relationship
1 order = 1 dedicated node
Security and dedicated access
Clear boundaries between orders, physical devices, and access credentials
Every valid order corresponds to one dedicated physical Mac mini. Compute and local storage are not shared with other tenants; this is not a virtual machine service.
Dedicated physical deviceThroughout the rental term, the entire Mac mini is assigned exclusively to the associated order.
Access credential managementUse a dedicated SSH key, rotate credentials regularly, and restrict connection sources.
Cleanup at the end of the termExport required data first. After access is revoked, the device enters the collection and data-cleanup process.
Technical content
From first connection to a stable pipeline
Six learning paths are organized around commands, parameters, credential boundaries, and troubleshooting order. Start with the basic connection, then gradually add build and experimental workloads.
