Remote Mac plans

Two Mac mini M4 plans, from daily to quarterly

Each plan gives you an entire dedicated physical Mac, not a virtual machine. Choose a configuration and location, then connect with macOS Screen Sharing or VNC. SSH is available for command-line access. All prices are in USD.

Both plans are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US East Coast. Check the dashboard for real-time availability when you order.

Add what you need

Add-ons priced separately

Estimate your storage needs based on your project before deciding whether to add capacity. Thunderbolt 5 daisy chaining is priced per Mac; review the configuration details before checkout.

Locations

Choose from five locations across both plans

Choose a location close to the people using the Mac, rather than basing your choice only on your team's registered address. Cross-region performance also depends on your local network and ISP routing.

Choosing a plan

Match the plan to your workload

Use these suggestions as a starting point, not a performance guarantee. Estimate memory use across your projects, simulators, and models, then confirm the final configuration in the dashboard.

01

Light builds & remote demos

For compiling one project at a time, checking interfaces, or demoing a macOS app, start with XV Desk M4: M4, 16GB unified memory, and a 256GB SSD.

Recommended: XV Desk M4
02

Everyday Xcode development

For routine editing, compiling, and a single simulator, consider XV Desk M4. If you often run several simulators or tools in parallel, compare it with the 24GB unified memory in XV Studio M4.

Recommended: choose between the two based on concurrency
03

Local LLM inference

For small-to-medium quantized models with MLX or llama.cpp, consider XV Studio M4. Add a +1TB SSD if your model weights and datasets need more room.

Recommended: XV Studio M4, with optional +1TB SSD

Renting, buying, or sharing: what’s the difference?

For short-term testing, consider delivery time and the cost of each billing period. For ongoing use, factor in purchase, setup, power, networking, and day-to-day management.

Comparison of a cloud Mac rental, a Mac mini you own, and a shared virtual machine
Compare Cloud Mac rental Own a Mac mini Shared virtual machine
Cost Pay by the day, week, month, or quarter; add-ons are extra Pay upfront, plus power, networking, and management costs May cost less upfront, but computing resources are shared
Getting started Delivery takes about 4 minutes; check the dashboard for the current estimate Purchasing, shipping, cabling, and setup usually take several days Quick to set up, but the physical Mac is not dedicated to you
Resource ownership Each rental gives you one dedicated physical Mac You manage the hardware yourself Host resources are shared with other instances
Changing your setup Choose another available plan or add-on to suit your needs Replacing hardware means purchasing and migrating again Depends on the virtual resources the provider offers

  3. 03Check the billing periodCompare daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly rates, then review the renewal date and order details at checkout.
  4. 04Estimate storageWork out how much space your projects, build artifacts, and model weights need before adding an SSD.
  5. 05Prepare to connectUse Screen Sharing on macOS or a VNC client on other systems. SSH is available for command-line workflows.
  6. 06Confirm your payment methodHave USDT-TRC20 ready, or pay with a Visa, Mastercard, or Amex card processed by Stripe.

Billing questions

Three things to know before you order

Changes can affect your current order and how the next billing period is charged. Check the prices and applicable terms shown in the dashboard before making changes.

Can I switch to the other plan during my rental?

The two plans have different memory and built-in SSD capacities. Before changing plans, confirm how to back up and migrate your data, then check the options and prices available in the dashboard.

Plan change FAQs

What if I need more storage partway through a billing period?

Estimate how much extra space you need and how long you’ll use it, then check in the dashboard whether the add-on is available for your current order and what it will cost. Don’t use the full-period rate above to estimate a mid-cycle charge.

Add-on FAQs

How are refunds calculated if I cancel?

Different terms apply to orders that haven’t been delivered and those that have. Read the refund policy in the terms before paying. To check a specific order, submit a support ticket through the dashboard after signing in.
