Dedicated physical machine
Your cloud Mac is a machine dedicated to your environment. It is not a virtual machine, making it a fit for ongoing work with development desktops, project dependencies, and toolchains.

Remote Mac desktop / How to connect
From order to desktop, step by step.
Your remote Mac desktop connects to the dedicated physical machine at the location you selected. Verify connection settings against your delivery details instead of relying on generic examples.
01
Choose your locationSelect a model, physical location, billing period, and storage. First check your project’s memory and disk requirements.
02

WORKLOAD INDEX / USE CASES
Choose a configuration for your workload.
Every use case runs on a dedicated physical machine, not a virtual machine. Suggested models are a starting point—not a substitute for checking project requirements and tool compatibility.
Everyday iOS / macOS developmentConsider project size, concurrent tools, and local cache requirements.
CI/CD buildsCheck self-hosted runner permissions, toolchains, signing assets, and secrets management.
Apple Silicon AI experimentsCheck model memory requirements and runtime compatibility before choosing a configuration.

ENVIRONMENT MIGRATION / 3 STEPS
LOCAL MAC → CLOUD MACMove your development environment from a local Mac to the cloud
Migration takes more than copying files. First decide what to bring over, then rebuild a verifiable development environment in the cloud, and only then connect your automation workflows.
01 / Prepare your data
Decide what to bring
List project files, dependencies, certificates, and local caches. Separate source files you need to keep from artifacts you can regenerate. Don’t copy configuration files containing secrets.
02 / Rebuild your toolchain
Verify your environment
Check macOS, Xcode, package manager, and project version requirements. Install dependencies one by one, then verify a manual build before connecting automation.
03 / Connect CI
Connect your automation workflow
Before connecting a self-hosted runner, check account permissions, signing assets, secrets management, and build logs. After the first run, compare the artifacts with the expected results.
Pre-order checklist
Check your use case, configuration, connection requirements, and payment method together before heading to checkout.
01Is your use case clear?First, decide whether you need everyday development, automated builds, or an experiment that calls for extra memory.
02Have you chosen a location?Choose from five physical locations based on where your team works and your connection requirements.
03Have you checked the billing period?Daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly are separate billing periods. Compare them based on how long you plan to use the machine.
04Is the storage enough?Check the included SSD against your project cache and any additional storage you may need.
05Are you ready to connect?Check your local network and remote desktop client. Use the connection details provided at delivery.
Payment and management have separate, clear entry points.
Place your order through the checkout portal. View your order, delivery details, and ongoing service management in the console after signing in. Prices are shown and charged in USD; available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend.

💬 FAQ
A few things to check before you start
Is this a virtual machine?
No. XCZone provides dedicated physical Macs. Choose a model, physical location, billing period, and any available add-ons when ordering. After delivery, check the connection details for your machine.
How do I connect to the remote Mac desktop?
After delivery, sign in to the console to find your connection details, then configure your remote desktop client using the method provided. Don’t use ports or credentials that haven’t been confirmed in your delivery information.View the connection guide ↗
Which configuration should I choose?
For light builds, compare M4 Start; for everyday development, consider M4 Work. For LLM inference experiments, first check model memory requirements and tool compatibility, then consider M4 Pro. Suggested models are not a performance guarantee.
Where can I find weekly, monthly, and quarterly pricing?
plans page lists all four billing periods and available add-ons for the three models. Check the model, location, billing period, and storage requirements before ordering.
