About MacCloud · Founded in 2024
We only do one thing: make it affordable and useful for developersA truly cloud-based Mac——Not an emulator, not a shared virtual machine, but your exclusive physical Apple Silicon machine with a predictable network experience.
Cloud computing has changed the way software is developed, but developers in the Apple ecosystem have long faced a pain point: running native macOS workloads in the cloud is expensive and complex.
MacCloud’s mission is to remove this barrier. We source Apple M4 Mac Minis directly and deploy them in strategic data centers around the world, giving developers access to a truly dedicated physical Mac for less than $40 a day through an automated platform.
The licensing agreement for macOS does not allow running in a virtualized environment (except on Apple Silicon hardware), which means that a truly stable and compliant Mac cloud service must be based on real Mac hardware.
We don't take shortcuts. Each MacCloud instance is a real Mac Mini—no sharing, no virtualization, and all CPU, GPU, memory, and SSD performance exclusive to you.
On x86 and Linux clouds, minute-by-minute billing and elastic scaling have long been commonplace; but in the Apple ecosystem, the prerequisite for running macOS workloads in compliance isreal hardware. Many teams have been forced to purchase their own machines, build their own computer rooms, or pay high hosting fees for short build peaks - time spent on operations and maintenance rather than product.
MacCloud has chosen the "heavy asset + automation" route from the first day: unified procurement and quality inspection, standardized listing process, observable activation and work order system, leaving the complexity on the platform side,Predictable computing power and connectivityHand it over to the customer. We believe that when prices and delivery times are transparent, developers can confidently move CI, signature, multimedia and AI experiments to the cloud.
Today, thousands of developers are using our services in Asia Pacific and North America nodes. We are still expanding document, blog and console capabilities to make "opening a Mac" as hassle-free as "opening an ordinary cloud host" - while retaining the compliance and experience that the Mac ecosystem should have.
We try to make the "order → payment → delivery" path short and clear.
The same console manages multiple regional instances, which facilitates overseas business, multi-regional testing and disaster recovery drills. The following are the main service areas (specific inventory and routes are subject to the order page).
We pay attention to power, network redundancy and physical security on the data center side; on the software side, we continue to strengthen authentication, logs and access control, and are consistent with the commitments in the "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service".
The following are common paradigms only, actual usage depends on your tool chain and compliance requirements.
Run Xcode builds, unit tests, and archives on native macOS, and connect to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or self-built schedulers; use the CPU/GPU exclusively to avoid queuing and interference from shared runners.
Manage certificates and description files in a controlled environment, and connect tools such as Fastlane and App Store Connect API to shorten the feedback cycle from submission to release.
Graphical debugging through SSH and VS Code Remote, or through VNC, extends the "Mac at a fixed workstation" into a workspace that can be accessed anytime and anywhere.
Tasks that are sensitive to the kernel and drivers, such as end-to-end testing, audio and video transcoding, and Metal-related experiments, are more suitable to run on physical machines to reduce the uncertainty caused by the virtualization layer.
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Product descriptions are consistent with actual services and are not exaggerated or misleading.
5-minute activation commitment, 4-hour support response, and respect for developers’ time.
Serving developers in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the United States, and supporting global business with localized languages and nodes.
We are also developers ourselves, and our products are based on real pain points.
Exclusive physical machine, data is not mixed with other tenants; comply with applicable privacy regulations.
Continuously optimize the activation process, node coverage and stability.
we maintainHelp Center、Developer Blogas well asOpenClawand other topic pages for easy retrieval. For topic selection suggestions or business communication, please contactTicket support pageAfter understanding, submit a work order on the console.
Exclusive physical machines mean that disks and operating environments are not mixed with other tenants under normal circumstances. For the scope of processing of personal information and order data, see"Privacy Policy";For service boundaries and liability limitations, see"Terms of Service". Corporate customers are welcome to request supplementary instructions or safety questionnaires before purchasing.
