Why rent instead of buying a Mac mini

Buying a Mac mini means paying the full price up front, finding somewhere to keep it running, and handling power, networking, updates, and failures yourself. Renting turns that into one monthly fee with no setup cost, and you can cancel the next renewal from your dashboard when the need ends.

Renting is not always cheaper over a long horizon. If you expect to need the same machine for several years and are comfortable hosting it, buying can cost less in total. Our guide on renting versus buying walks through the math honestly.

How remote access works

Your Mac mini stays powered on in our facility. You connect to it over the internet from a Mac, Windows PC, Linux machine, or tablet using two supported methods: SSH for the terminal, and remote desktop for the full macOS interface.

Connection details and step-by-step instructions appear inside your signed-in dashboard once the machine is ready; we never send credentials by plain email. Your files, tools, and sessions persist between connections, so you can disconnect and pick up where you left off.

Setup and onboarding

1. STEP 1

   Create an account

   Sign up with your email or Google account and verify your address. No payment is collected at this step.

2. STEP 2

   Request your Mac

   Tell us how you plan to use it and accept the terms. We review every request by hand.

3. STEP 3

   We prepare the machine

   A team member assigns a dedicated Mac mini to you, installs a clean copy of macOS, and configures secure remote access.

4. STEP 4

   Start your subscription and connect

   When it is ready we email you. You set up payment, billing starts at activation, and your connection details appear in the dashboard.

Real limitations and requirements

• [x]Machines are prepared by people, not provisioned instantly. Expect days, not minutes; your dashboard shows each stage.
• [x]One customer per computer. Sharing a machine among several end users, reselling access, or sublicensing is not permitted.
• [x]Administrator access is included but subject to security and licensing requirements: you cannot disable the management controls we rely on, and macOS use must follow Apple’s software license terms.
• [x]Permitted use is developer and business computing: software development, testing, CI, automation, and AI coding agents. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
• [x]No physical access to the hardware, and no hardware changes (memory and storage are fixed at the configuration you rent).
• [x]Third-party subscriptions are not included: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, the Apple Developer Program, and any licensed software are yours to bring.
• [x]You are responsible for your own backups. When a rental ends, the storage is securely erased before the hardware is reassigned.
