NoMac: a cloud Mac for your AI agent, billed per minute
On-demand macOS VMs on Apple silicon with Xcode preinstalled, reachable over MCP, CLI, REST or SSH: an agent spins one up in about a minute, builds and tests an iOS app, and the meter stops when the Mac is deleted.
Why it matters
It closes the cloud-agent blind spot: coding agents on Linux boxes cannot build iOS apps without a Mac, and NoMac rents one for $0.90 an hour with no subscription and credit that never expires.
What you could build with it
A solo iOS developer on a Linux workstation could give their coding agent a NoMac session for each feature branch, so builds, simulator tests and signing happen on a real Mac while the agent works on the Linux box.
Does it hold up?
Usable now for short bursts: a fresh Mac with Xcode and root in about a minute, but it is one session at a time and the 20 GB drive is the only state that survives between sessions.
