Cloud Mac / Dedicated physical node

Cloud Mac,dedicated physical machine, not a virtual machine.

Rent a dedicated physical Mac mini on demand and keep builds, tests, and experiments running continuously. Review the hardware, node, and rental term first, then retrieve connection details from the console and connect to your device.

Connect, verify, run

Follow verifiable steps from device claim to a ready session.

Read connection details from the console. On first access, verify the device identity and host fingerprint, configure SSH, and enable the macOS graphical interface only when your workload requires it.

01

Claim device

Read the device ID, node, connection address, and temporary credentials in the order details.

Order confirmed → Device assigned
02

Verify fingerprint

Compare the host fingerprint shown in the console with the result from your first connection, item by item.

Hostname → ED25519 fingerprint
03

Configure SSH

Import the public key used by your project and confirm that the command-line session and file permissions work correctly.

Key access → Permission verification
04

Start session

Check the macOS, Xcode, and command-line tool versions before starting work.

Environment verified → Workflow ready

If the host fingerprint does not match the console record, stop the connection and submit a ticket through the console. Never include passwords, private keys, or complete payment details in public email.

Workload scheduling model

Your workload runs on a dedicated resource without competing with other orders for the same device.

Local workflows depend on whether a device is powered on and available; shared resources are also affected by platform queues. VMDebug devices are used by a single order, while your team controls concurrency, cache reuse, and disk cleanup.

Two physical resource tiers

Exactly two tiers, with hardware and four term prices listed directly.

Both tiers are dedicated physical cloud Macs, not virtual machines, and can be rented by the day, week, month, or quarter. Pricing for additional storage and Thunderbolt 5 parallel connections is listed separately on the plan page.

VMDebug M4

Mac mini M4 · 16GB RAM · 256GB SSD

Ideal for single-project development, automated testing, standard archiving, and light to medium continuous integration workloads.

Daily$19.9
Weekly$53.7
Monthly$99.4
Quarterly$270.4

All prices are in USD. Node selection does not change the listed base hardware price; final configuration, add-ons, and amount due are reviewed together before order submission.

Five nodes

Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the US West node all support both hardware tiers. The US West node is provided as one complete node, not split into multiple city options.

Hardware and node availability

Both VMDebug M4 and VMDebug M4 Pro are available in all 5 nodes listed above.

Current availability

Actual availability at checkout is determined by the real-time response from the console.

Service availability target
99.9%

Target availability / service terms definition

Daily status for the past 90 days

Each short bar represents one calendar day and shows the day-by-day structure of the target measurement window. The formal measurement scope, exclusions, claim materials, and results are governed by the service terms.

Year-round operation

All nodes operate normally 365 days a year with continuous availability.

Compensation terms

When the service terms are met, compensation is calculated based on the affected service period.

Claim materials

Submit the order number, device ID, affected time period, and any necessary redacted logs.

Four workload categories

Choose physical resources based on memory, storage, and concurrency needs.

Recommended configurations simplify initial selection but do not replace project-level measurement. Before ordering, review dependency caches, build artifacts, datasets, concurrent jobs, and available disk space.

XCODE
BUILD

iOS / macOS development

Recommended: VMDebug M4

Suitable for dependency restoration, compilation, unit testing, archiving, signing checks, and artifact downloads. Pin Xcode and dependency versions for long-running projects.

Configuration
M4 · 16GB · 256GB
Resource note
Reserve enough space for build directories, DerivedData, and archived artifacts
CI
RUNNER

CI/CD runner

Recommended: choose based on concurrency and cache volume

Register a self-hosted runner and isolate its work directory, caches, and secrets. Start single jobs on M4; review M4 Pro first for high concurrency or large caches.

Configuration
M4 or M4 Pro
Resource note
Limit concurrency and configure cache reclamation and failed-job cleanup
64GB
RAM

AI experiments

Recommended: VMDebug M4 Pro

Suitable for experiments requiring more unified memory, local dataset storage, and persistent sessions. Record dependency versions, model files, and baseline outputs first.

Configuration
M4 Pro · 64GB · 2TB
Resource note
Reserve disk space for datasets, checkpoints, caches, and intermediate results
REMOTE
MEDIA

Remote media toolchain

Recommended: VMDebug M4 Pro

Deploy media import, proxy generation, batch processing, and export to a cloud Mac, while completing final picture and audio review locally.

Configuration
M4 Pro · 64GB · 2TB
Resource note
Measure media upload time, proxy size, export space, and network latency first
Migration preview

Move from a local Mac to a cloud Mac in three acceptance stages.

Copy only the necessary data first, reproduce the toolchain from a checklist, then connect the cloud Mac to CI. Keep verification points and rollback actions at every stage to avoid migrating the entire environment at once.

View the complete setup path
01 / DATA

Data migration

Migrate repositories, build inputs, required caches, and redacted configuration; do not copy obsolete historical artifacts.

Input
Repository, resource files, and environment variable list
Verification
File checksums and repository workspace status
Rollback
Keep a read-only local copy
02 / TOOLCHAIN

Toolchain reproduction

Match Xcode, command-line tools, Git, certificates, Keychain permissions, and dependency versions.

Input
Version inventory and project dependency files
Verification
Run a no-cache baseline build
Rollback
Restore the recorded toolchain versions
03 / CI

CI integration

Register the runner, isolate the work directory, inject secrets, and retain necessary logs for failed jobs.

Input
Runner configuration and least-privilege credentials
Verification
Testing, archiving, and artifact downloads
Rollback
Switch back to the original runner and stop new jobs
Pre-order checklist

Answer four questions about resources, terms, nodes, and payment first.

Review the complete FAQ and service terms for access permissions, system upgrades, data export, renewals, and compensation limits.

View the complete FAQ
Is the device a virtual machine?

No. VMDebug provides dedicated physical cloud Macs, with device resources assigned to one order and not shared with another order on the same device.

Can I rent by the day?

Yes. Both hardware tiers support daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly terms. The VMDebug M4 starts at $19.9/day.

Which nodes are available?

Choose from Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and US West—5 nodes in total. Actual availability is returned in real time by the console.

Which payment methods are supported?

Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe) are supported. All orders are billed in USD; the actually available payment gateway is determined by the backend response.

Submit an order runbook

5 nodes, 2 dedicated physical Mac mini tiers.

Choose a hardware tier, node, and daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly term, then verify the configuration and USD amount before submitting. Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe) are supported.
