Dedicated physical workstations for developers
Use a real Apple Silicon Mac mini remotely for Xcode builds, continuous integration, local inference, and professional creative work. Administrator access, SSH, and remote desktop can all be configured, with resources dedicated exclusively to your device.
Capabilities for your workflow
Development workflows
Organize your device around repositories, toolchains, caches, and build artifacts. Every workflow retains inspectable logs and results, making environments easier to reproduce, failed steps easier to diagnose, and tasks easier to hand off.
Real-world usage paths
First determine how code, signing assets, caches, media, and build artifacts will enter the workstation, then choose the right configuration and rental term. Each of these four task types can be broken into clear inputs, execution steps, and acceptance criteria.
Clone the repository, restore CocoaPods and Swift Package dependencies, import organized and sanitized signing assets, then complete testing, archiving, and export. Ideal for developers who need a stable macOS environment without keeping a local device running long term.
Register a dedicated Runner and set the working directory, concurrency limit, and cache-clearing policy. Retain script output, test reports, and archive context for failed jobs so the team can reproduce them rather than see only a failure status.
Pin Python, the inference framework, and model versions while recording unified memory, disk cache, and throughput. Keep models, scripts, and experiment outputs on the dedicated device for repeated tuning and baseline comparison.
Migrate media, install plug-ins, rebuild audio caches, and verify the remote monitoring path with a test project. For large projects, check additional storage, media transfer times, and backup plans first.
Two configurations available
Evaluate Core for a short single-project engagement; choose Plus when running more simulators, containers, caches, or media libraries at once.
View all plansDesigned for single-project development, everyday upkeep, debugging, and short build jobs.
For multitasking, more simulators, larger caches, and local datasets.
| Configuration | Chip | Memory | Storage | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NUMACS M4 Core | M4 | 16GB | 256GB | Remote desktop / SSH |
| NUMACS M4 Plus | M4 | 24GB | 512GB | Remote desktop / SSH |
Four Asia-Pacific nodes
Both NUMACS M4 Core and NUMACS M4 Plus are available across all four nodes. The catalog shows qualifying combinations consistently; final availability is determined by the console in real time. All nodes operate continuously 365 days a year.

Node selection takes place during order configuration. The catalog does not display unavailable combinations or infer availability from temporary status.
Migration and validation
Restore data, the toolchain, and CI separately. This makes it faster to determine whether an issue comes from permissions, versions, dependencies, or pipeline configuration, while preserving a clear record for rebuilding.
Sync the code repository, required configuration, and project media. Rebuild caches, derived data, and temporary artifacts as needed instead of carrying local history problems into the new environment.
Validation result: repository and permissions pass inspectionRecord and pin macOS, Xcode, Homebrew, Ruby, Node.js, and package manager versions, then confirm compilation and archive permissions with an independent test project.
Validation result: test project builds successfullyRegister a dedicated Runner, configure the working directory, cache, concurrency, script permissions, and failed-log retention, then run a complete pipeline.
Validation result: pipeline artifacts are reproducibleNeed to complete connectivity, environment restoration, and first-task validation step by step? Start with the complete pre-order checklist.

A stable development environment is more than a device showing as online. Observe build time, resource usage, disk space, test results, and host status together in a single run record.

Average processor utilization during the continuous build.
Unified memory used by the build, simulators, and supporting tools.
Physical node online; remote desktop and SSH checks passed.
Dependency resolution, compilation, testing, signing, and export are separate failure domains. Keeping the complete timeline makes reproduction easier than saving only the final error line.
High CPU usage is not necessarily abnormal. Observe memory pressure, available disk space, cache growth, and task completion time together to determine whether you need a larger configuration.
Delivery validation is complete only after repository checkout, dependency restoration, test execution, archiving, and artifact export all pass.
Engineering notes
When Xcode cannot open build.db or reports database corruption, inspect the evidence first and rebuild only XCBuildData before considering a full DerivedData reset.
Shared DerivedData turns parallel xcodebuild jobs into competing writers. This guide isolates job paths while preserving useful dependency caches.
Turn XCTest durations into comparable CI data, then block only repeatable slowdowns that exceed both absolute and relative thresholds.
Performance testing, development environment migration, CI Runner setup, and professional creative workflows will be published as reproducible step-by-step guides.
Confirm before ordering
NUMACS provides dedicated physical cloud Mac workstations. Users are responsible for project data, access credentials, signing materials, and ongoing backups; technical support helps identify service issues using the complete context.
No. NUMACS M4 Core and NUMACS M4 Plus are dedicated physical Apple Silicon Mac minis, with resources not shared with other tenants.
Rent by the day, week, month, or quarter. Core costs $21.7/day, $58.5/week, $108.4/month, or $294.8/quarter; Plus costs $41.6/day, $112.3/week, $207.9/month, or $565.5/quarter.
Choose Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, or Hong Kong when ordering. Both configurations are available across all four nodes; final availability is shown in real time by the console.
Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe) are supported. All charges are settled in US dollars (USD); available gateways are determined by the backend interface.
Device details are provided in the console. After the first connection, change the initial credentials, configure SSH keys and remote desktop, and verify administrator access. The public Help Center provides the complete check sequence.
Get started
Choose NUMACS M4 Core or NUMACS M4 Plus, then confirm the rental term, node, and add-ons. For pre-sales guidance or technical assistance, email support or submit a ticket after signing in.
