Dedicated hardware, not a VM

A full physically-isolated Mac mini — no neighbors fighting you for CPU or I/O. 100% of the chip's performance is yours, so build times for the same project stay predictable and reproducible.

Billed daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly

From $19.9/day, monthly plans work out to about $3.3/day. Renew anytime, release when you're done — no minimum term, no hidden bandwidth fees, and refundable within 24 hours of your first order.

5 locations across APAC + US West

Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul, and Silicon Valley. Every location gets 1 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth with no metering, running around the clock, 365 days a year.

Built for CI

Your CI scripts just run

Root access plus a full macOS install — fastlane, CocoaPods, and xcodebuild need zero rework. Copy over your local Fastfile and ship a build straight to App Store Connect. The full macOS GUI and command line are both available, and you manage certificates, provisioning profiles, and keychains exactly the way you already do locally.

  • Multiple Xcode versions side by side, pinned per project
  • Self-hosted runner for GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
  • KVM-level VNC — connect to the GUI anytime

Our uptime commitment is written into the terms of service: any month that falls short gets credited to your account at 3x the downtime, automatically — no ticket needed. Every location runs around the clock, 365 days a year.

Use Cases

Three kinds of users, three ways to use it

From solo app shipping to team CI to local model experiments — one dedicated hardware box covers it all.

iOS device builds and App Store submissions

Install your certificates and provisioning profiles, and xcodebuild ships a Release build directly. Median upload time to App Store Connect from our US West locations is 90 seconds — no more borrowing a coworker's Mac just to ship an update.

Self-hosted CI runners

Register it as a GitHub Actions or GitLab CI runner and run parallel jobs on a dedicated 10-core chip. Cache stays local, cold starts are fast, and your build queue stops backing up.

MLX / CoreML experimentation

64GB of unified memory on the M4 Pro loads 70B quantized models directly — MLX inference and CoreML conversion happen on the same machine, no juggling GPU memory shards.

Regions & availability

Configuration × location availability

The table below shows which tiers each location offers; the configurations actually available at order time are returned live by the portal.

In stock — activates right after checkout Not offered at this node

How to choose: for low latency from Asia, pick Hong Kong or Tokyo; publishing to App Store Connect is smoothest from the US West node; for teams split across Asia and the US, Tokyo is the middle ground. Measured latency for every node is on the regions page.

Quick math: a CI team renting a Mini Pro by the quarter pays $823.3; buying a comparable M4 Pro runs about $2,199 — before hosting, bandwidth and maintenance. See the full rent-vs-buy comparison on the rental plans page.

User stories

How customers use OnceMini

I used to borrow a colleague's Mac for every release. Now I rent a Mini S for a day, build, release the machine — done for $19.9.

Indie iOS developer · Austin

We registered two Mini M units as GitLab runners: build queues went from a 40-minute average to zero, and nobody complains about CI anymore.

CI lead · 20-person team

With 64GB of unified memory I load 70B quantized models directly. MLX inference needs no VRAM partitioning — far simpler than renting cloud GPUs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I install any Xcode version?

Yes. With root access and a full macOS you can install multiple versions side by side via xcodes install, then pin xcode-select per project. The latest stable Xcode is preinstalled at delivery; older versions are yours to install. Switching details are on the support page.

Do I get root access?

Yes. The delivered account has sudo: create users, change system settings or reinstall macOS freely. Our staff has no login access; out-of-band management stops at the power layer, and only you hold the SSH key and VNC password.

What happens to my data at expiry?

The machine is kept for 72 hours after expiry so you can renew or download a snapshot; after that the APFS volume encryption keys are destroyed and the disk fully rewritten — recovery is impossible. The detailed wipe timeline is on the security commitments page.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Visa / Mastercard / Amex (Stripe) and USDT-TRC20, all billed in US dollars. Teams ordering 10+ machines can arrange monthly invoicing and contracts — see the contact page.
