A Mac for a day
What is a Mac day rental?
A Mac day rental is a whole physical Mac mini that you rent for 24 hours and reach over the internet with a full remote desktop. It is not a macOS virtual machine: you get the machine's own Apple silicon chip, memory and network line, and nobody else uses it while it is yours.
Day prices
Pick the Mac, pay for one day.
Every plan with a day price can be rented for 24 hours. An extension costs the same as the first day.
How a day runs
24 hours, counted from ready.
- 01Pick a Mac on the Macs tab and pay once by card through Stripe
- 02We message you the moment it is ready, and your 24 hours start then
- 032 hours and 15 minutes before the end, a message with an Extend button; you can extend from the dashboard too
- 04At the end the Mac is fully wiped and everything on it is deleted
You can also book a day rental up to 14 days ahead.

Mac servers by the month Compare every priceWhich Macs can I rent by the day?

What can I do on a Mac for a day?
What a standard macOS user can do on real Apple silicon. Install apps into the Applications folder in your home folder, use Homebrew without a password, and give your apps their privacy permissions with Allow an app.
Can I keep my files after the day ends?
No. At the end of the rental the Mac is fully wiped and everything on it is deleted. Copy your work off before then, or extend the rental by another 24 hours.
How do I pay for a day rental?
By card through Stripe, as one payment. Each extension is another 24 hours at the same day price.
