About DedicatedMac
Who runs DedicatedMac, what we operate, and how we differ from virtualized Mac cloud providers.
DedicatedMac rents single-tenant Mac mini M4 hardware by the day, week, month, or quarter. Every customer gets a physical machine in our racks — not a slice of one, not a VM on a hypervisor, and not a container on a shared build host.
We started the service because the existing options for "a Mac in the cloud" were almost all virtualized. That is fine until you need reliable timing for benchmarks, a stable machine identity for code signing, or an always-on host for an agent that must not be recycled between jobs. Those workloads need real hardware, so that is what we operate.
What we operate
Our fleet is Apple silicon Mac mini hardware housed in a Phoenix, AZ data center in the US West region. Machines are provisioned with an administrator account, reachable over an encrypted remote desktop session, and connected to a 1 Gbps link. We manage the fleet with mobile device management tooling so a machine can be restarted, re-provisioned, or fully erased on request.
When a rental ends, the machine is wiped and re-imaged before it goes back into the available pool. No customer ever inherits another customer's disk.
How we are different
- Bare metal, single tenant: one customer per physical Mac for the whole rental period.
- Full administrator access: install anything, change anything, run anything within our acceptable use policy.
- No contracts: subscriptions are cancellable and run to the end of the paid period.
- One region, stated plainly: all machines live in Phoenix, AZ. We do not claim global points of presence we do not have.
- Transparent stock: the pricing page reads live inventory, and out-of-stock configurations show a waitlist instead of a checkout button.
Who we serve
Most of our customers are developers and small teams who need macOS for a specific job: shipping an iOS build, signing and notarizing binaries in CI, running a macOS-only test matrix, rendering in Final Cut Pro, or keeping an autonomous agent running around the clock on a machine they control.
We are a small operation and we answer our own support email. If you need something the standard configuration does not cover — a longer term, several machines, or a custom provisioning step — write to us and you will get a real answer rather than a ticket number.
