SoloRackMac mini rental in the cloud, by the day, week or month
Rent a dedicated Mac mini M6 for a day, a week or a month, and use it from any computer.
Pick the length that fits the job
The 24-hour pass ($19) covers a single focused task: publishing an app built on Windows, running a one-off build or checking a bug report on macOS. The 7-day pass ($49) suits a sprint, a release week or a round of testing. The monthly plan ($112) is for ongoing development, CI and anything that needs a Mac every day.
All three use the same Mac mini M6, with the same specification and the same access, so moving between them changes the length of the rental and nothing else. Prices are in US dollars, VAT included where it applies, with no setup fee.
What every rental includes
Every plan gives you a whole Mac mini M6, used by one customer at a time, in a datacenter in the European Union. It runs the current macOS and your account has full admin rights. You install Xcode from the App Store with your own Apple Account, and anything else you need with Homebrew or a download.
You connect with a remote-desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux, plus SSH. Support is by email, answered by people from the team. When a rental ends, we warn you first, then your files are gone: no copy is kept anywhere, and the whole Mac is erased before anyone else uses it.
Extend without starting over
Two hours before a 24-hour or 7-day pass ends, and again thirty minutes before, we send a reminder. If you need more time, extend with another day or another week and keep working on the same Mac, with your files, your installed tools and your Xcode exactly where you left them.
When a short project turns into a long one, switch to a monthly plan from My account, on the same Mac. Monthly renewals come with reminders 3 days and 1 day before and 24 hours to fix a failed payment with your Mac untouched and reachable.
Renting instead of buying
A Mac bought for occasional work spends most of its life switched off, and it still needs updates, space on a desk and, one day, a buyer. Renting turns that into a cost you pay only when there is work to do. A team that publishes an iOS update once a month can cover each release with a 24-hour pass.
Renting also keeps the hardware current. The machine is a Mac mini M6 on the latest macOS, so the newest Xcode installs straight from the App Store and App Store Connect accepts your builds. When Apple raises the Xcode version it asks for, you are already on a Mac that runs it.
How the rental starts
Choose a plan and pay by card on a checkout page hosted by Stripe, with 3D Secure supported. There is no sign-up: your account opens with your first payment. Usually within 5 minutes, your Mac is ready in My account with its remote-desktop details and macOS password, and we email you.
Your rental time starts when your Mac is ready, not at the moment you pay. At checkout you ask for your pass to start right away, so buy it when you are ready to work. Consumers in the EU can still withdraw within 14 days and pay only for the time already provided.
Who rents a Mac mini
Developers on Windows or Linux who need Xcode for an iOS release. Flutter, React Native and Capacitor teams preparing an App Store submission. Freelancers who take on an Apple project for a client and want a clean Mac for it. Teams that need an extra build machine for release week.
Also QA testers checking a web app in Safari, people running a coding agent on macOS, and developers whose own Mac is too old for the latest Xcode. Whatever the reason, the rental works the same way, and you pay only for the days, weeks or months you use.
