How it works

A real Mac in our Canadian facility, reserved for you and reachable from anywhere over the network.

Choose your machine

Pick the model, memory and storage you need, and the rental duration. The monthly price in CAD is shown before you commit to anything.

We confirm availability

We check whether that exact machine is in our facility and free for your dates, and reply by email. If it is not, we tell you plainly.

We rack and prepare it

The Mac is installed in our facility in Alberta, connected, and set up with an administrator account for you.

You connect remotely

You get remote access with full administrative control. It behaves like a Mac on your desk, because it is a Mac — just not in your office.

A dedicated machine, not cloud compute

The difference matters more than the marketing usually admits.

One tenant per machine

The Mac you rent is not shared with another customer. Its CPU, memory and disk are not divided between tenants.

Real Apple hardware

Genuine Apple silicon, not an emulated or virtualised Mac. Xcode, Simulator, notarization and code signing behave as they do on hardware, because it is hardware.

Persistent, not ephemeral

The machine keeps its state between sessions. It is not reset out from under you like a disposable CI runner unless you ask for that.

Hosted in Canada

The hardware physically sits in Calgary, Alberta. If Canadian data residency matters to you or your clients, the machine does not leave the country.

Billed in CAD

Prices are Canadian dollars, so there is no exchange-rate drift between what you budget and what you pay.

You talk to us directly

ICYNET is a small Canadian company. Support is a person who knows the hardware, not a tiered ticket queue.

What people use a hosted Mac for

iOS and macOS development

A permanent Mac for Xcode work when your main machine is not a Mac, or when you need a second one.

CI/CD build agents

A build machine for Xcode builds, tests, archiving and notarization that stays online between jobs.

QA and testing

A consistent macOS environment for test runs, reproducing bugs, or validating releases on a known configuration.

Remote workstation

A Mac you can reach from anywhere, on a connection better than a home upload link.

Agencies and teams

Apple hardware for a team without buying, housing and maintaining it yourselves.

Temporary access

Short-term access to a Mac for a specific project, port or release, without a capital purchase.
