Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between MacinCloud and MyRemoteMac?

MacinCloud offers various cloud-based Mac plans, often virtualized or shared, with varying levels of access. MyRemoteMac focuses exclusively on dedicated physical Mac servers with full root/admin access, optimized for professional development and CI/CD.

Can I get full admin access with MyRemoteMac?

Yes. Every MyRemoteMac server comes with full root/administrator access via SSH and VNC, allowing you to install any software or configure the OS as needed.

Why choose dedicated vs cloud remote Mac?

Dedicated servers provide consistent performance without "noisy neighbors," full compliance with Apple's licensing (1:1 hardware allocation), and greater security for sensitive codebases.

Do I get stable performance for CI/CD?

Yes. Since you are not sharing resources with other users, build times are consistent and predictable, which is critical for automated pipelines.
