Workload Fit

Plug into the development and delivery workflows your team already uses

The names below describe compatible toolchains and do not imply customer relationships or endorsements. Nodes provide a standard macOS graphical interface, command-line environment, and administrator access, so teams can install the versions required for each project.

Fixed Resource Boundaries

One node, dedicated to your workloads

CPU, memory, and storage are never split with other orders. System permissions, build caches, and background services remain on the same physical Mac, making builds easier to reproduce and pipelines easier to keep running.

Dedicated Physical Machine

Each order maps to one Apple Silicon Mac mini. CPU, memory, storage, and system sessions are not shared with other orders.

Node typePhysical Mac ProcessorApple Silicon Resource boundaryFixed

No Virtual Machines

macOS runs directly on physical hardware. Hardware specifications, system information, remote sessions, and the build environment can all be verified on the node.

Administrator Access

Install Xcode, command-line tools, dependency managers, build services, and self-hosted runners as your project requires.

Fixed Resources

Specifications are set with the order. Parallel builds, dependency installation, and archive jobs are not affected by temporary contention from other orders.

Resource schedulingNo cross-order sharing
Background tasksRuns continuously Build cacheRetained runner serviceCan stay active

Continuously Online

Nodes operate normally 365 days a year without relying on a developer’s local computer being online. Disconnecting the remote display does not actively terminate background build tasks.

Two Available Plans

From single-project maintenance to parallel build pipelines

Starting at $20.3/day. Both plans provide a dedicated physical Mac and support daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly rentals. Check full-term pricing and add-ons together on the plans page.

From Order to Ready

Four statuses, with connection details generated step by step

After payment confirmation, the system assigns a node based on the plan and region in the order, then initializes the account and core system status. The typical process takes about 4 minutes in total; exceptional orders undergo manual review.

Typical Use Cases

Keep macOS-only tasks running on a dedicated node

Code, dependencies, build tools, and caches stay on the same physical Mac, reducing time lost to repeated environment setup. Different workloads can share a node, but choose the plan based on concurrency, peak memory use, and storage growth.

01 / DEV

Everyday iOS and macOS Development

Use Xcode, simulators, and debugging tools through a remote graphical interface, or run tests, dependency installation, and automation scripts from the command line.

Check: Xcode version, target SDK, and project disk usage.
02 / CI

CI/CD self-hosted runner

Connect GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, and keep runner labels, dependency cache directories, and service startup behavior consistent so each job does not redownload the environment.

Check: concurrent jobs, cache strategy, and least privilege.
03 / UNITY

Cloud Unity iOS Builds

Export an Xcode project from Unity, then complete dependency installation, archiving, signing, and delivery on the dedicated node. This makes logs easier to retain and package changes easier to reproduce.

Check: project size, archive space, and dependency versions.
04 / VISION

visionOS Development Environment

Validate Xcode, the target SDK, project builds, and remote-display requirements. For workloads with higher memory demands, consider VMArm M4 Plus first.

Check: peak memory, available storage, and display settings.
05 / AI

Local AI Experiments

Run lightweight models, developer tools, and data-processing tasks on Apple Silicon. Choose additional storage when models and data are growing quickly.

Check: model size, unified memory usage, and data volume.
Billing Terms

Choose daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly billing based on project length

Use daily or weekly billing for short-term validation, or monthly or quarterly billing for ongoing development and long-running runners. All orders are settled in USD; the amount is determined by the plans page and the confirmation shown before order submission.

Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly
  • Choose memory based on build concurrency first
  • Then choose a node based on repository and team location
  • Finally verify the term and additional storage
Payment and Billing

Only Two Payment Methods Supported

Digital assetsUSDT-TRC20
Card · via StripeVisa
Card · via StripeMastercard
Card · via StripeAmex

The settlement currency is USD only. Actual gateway availability is determined by the backend response. Before submitting payment, verify the node, model, storage expansion, and billing term again.

Before Ordering

Confirm the product type, configuration, and connection method first

VMArm explains the service through specifications, steps, and verifiable status information. For questions about existing orders, billing, or node issues, sign in to the console, submit a ticket, and include the order number and redacted logs.

Does VMArm provide virtual machines?

No. Each order gets its own Apple Silicon physical Mac mini. Resources are not split into virtual machines or shared with other orders.

Which plans are currently available?

Only two plans are available: VMArm M4 Core: M4 / 16GB / 256GB, and VMArm M4 Plus: M4 / 24GB / 512GB.

How soon can I connect after payment?

The typical process takes about 4 minutes, including payment confirmation, node assignment, system initialization, and connection-detail generation. Exceptional orders may require manual review.

Can I install Xcode and a runner?

Yes. Nodes include administrator access, allowing you to install Xcode, command-line tools, dependency managers, and self-hosted runners, while managing version changes and cache directories yourself.

Which payment methods are supported?

All orders are settled in USD. Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex via Stripe are supported. Actual gateway availability is determined by the backend response.

Next Build

Put your next build on a cloud Mac

Choose one of the two plans, then select a node in Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, or the Western United States. After payment confirmation, it is typically ready in about 4 minutes.
