Why 24 hours, not hourly

Apple's macOS licence only allows a Mac to be leased for periods of at least 24 consecutive hours, to a single customer. Every provider that respects the licence applies the same minimum, AWS and Scaleway included. We bill exactly that: one day at a time, never by the hour, never shared. Your day ends after 24 hours, unless you turn on auto-renew.

What you get for a day: a dedicated Mac with admin rights, a public IP, SSH and VNC, Xcode and the simulators. Enough to archive and upload an app, run a test pass, sign a release, record a demo, or try the service before a monthly plan.

How many days do you need?

Mac mini M4, 16 GB / 256 GB: $14/day or $85/mo

Beyond one day, this estimate assumes auto-renew is on: charged every 24 hours until you turn it off. By default, a daily Mac stops after its first 24 hours.

Daily is the cheaper choice for this stay. On this Mac, monthly becomes cheaper from day 7: switch from your instance page, applied at the end of the current day.

USD, excl. tax. If auto-renew is on, we email you once on the day monthly becomes cheaper (day 7 on most Macs), with a link to switch to monthly.

How daily billing works

Your Mac stops after 24 hours, unless you turn on auto-renew.

“Auto-renew every 24 hours” is off by default. Turn it on when you deploy, or later from your instance page, and turn it off at any time. The instance page always shows how many hours are left before your Mac renews or stops.

Each choice, at checkout and every change after, is recorded with its date and time.

On your instance page Mac mini M4, 16 GB / 256 GB, $14/day
Auto-renew every 24 hoursChosen at checkout, 10 hours ago

Stops and is deleted in 14 h

Nothing is charged after the 24 hours you paid for. Turn auto-renew on to keep this Mac.

1

Deploy and pay for 24 hours

Your card is charged once at deployment, and your bank confirms this first payment during checkout (3D Secure). The Mac is yours within minutes, with SSH and VNC.

2

Stops after 24 hours by default

Auto-renew is off unless you turn it on. When the 24 hours you paid for end, your Mac stops: the instance and all its data are deleted, and nothing more is charged.

3

Auto-renew, only if you want it

With auto-renew on, each new day is charged at renewal, with no limit on renewals, until you turn it off. No invoice emails: every invoice sits in your billing history.

4

Switch to monthly at any time

Monthly or yearly, applied at the end of the current day, on the same Mac, nothing charged before. One daily Mac per account: choose monthly or yearly for another Mac.

With auto-renew on: a failed renewal means immediate deletion

This rule only applies when auto-renew is on. Daily plans have no grace period and no retry: if a 24-hour renewal payment is declined, access is cut immediately, the instance is deleted and the Mac is erased as soon as Apple's licence allows. Its data cannot be recovered.

You receive a single email, the deletion notice, which states that the payment was declined. Keep your card valid, turn auto-renew off, or switch to monthly or yearly. With auto-renew off, there is no renewal payment.

Questions about daily plans

How much does it cost to rent a Mac mini for a day?

From $14 per day for a dedicated Mac mini M4 with 16 GB and 256 GB. Mac mini M6 starts at $22 per day and Mac mini M4 Pro at $34 per day. The Mac Pro M2 Ultra is $99 per day, only while one is in stock. All prices are in USD, excl. tax.

Does a daily plan renew automatically?

Not unless you choose it. By default, your Mac stops when the 24 hours you paid for end: the instance and all its data are deleted, and nothing more is charged. To keep it longer, turn on “Auto-renew every 24 hours” when you deploy or later from your instance page. Each new day is then charged at renewal until you turn auto-renew off, which you can do at any time. Your instance page shows how many hours are left before your Mac renews or stops, and each choice is recorded with its date and time.

Is it a dedicated Mac or a shared one?

Dedicated. You are the only user of a physical Mac, with administrator rights, for the whole period.

Can I rent by the hour?

No. Apple's macOS licence requires a minimum lease of 24 consecutive hours. A day is the shortest period any provider can legally offer.

How long can I keep a daily Mac?

24 hours by default. Turn on auto-renew to keep it as long as you want: charged every 24 hours, with no limit on renewals, until you turn it off. Monthly is cheaper from day 7 on most plans (day 9 on the Mac mini M4 Pro 64 GB, day 10 on the Mac Pro). If auto-renew is on, we email you once that day with a link to switch.

Can I run several daily Macs?

You can run one daily Mac at a time. Choose monthly or yearly for another Mac.

What happens if the daily renewal payment fails?

This only concerns a daily Mac with auto-renew on: with auto-renew off, there is no renewal payment. Access is cut immediately, the instance is deleted and the Mac is erased as soon as Apple's licence allows. There is no grace period and no retry on daily plans. You receive a single email, the deletion notice, which states that the payment was declined.

Can I switch my daily plan to monthly or yearly?

Yes, at any time, from the instance page. The switch applies at the end of the current day, on the same Mac, and nothing is charged before then. Your Mac then continues on the new plan, whatever your auto-renew setting; if you cancel the switch, your previous auto-renew setting comes back.

Can I add the backup disk or a network upgrade?

Not on a daily plan. Add-ons are offered on monthly and yearly plans only.

How is my card verified?

Your bank confirms the first payment during checkout (3D Secure). Every card you add also goes through 3D Secure verification, with a $1 hold that is released right away.

Will I receive invoice emails?

No, we do not send invoice emails, on any plan. Every invoice is in your billing history.

Is there a free trial or a refund on daily plans?

No free trial and no refund: a day is fully used as soon as it starts. The daily plan is the way to try the service at the lowest cost.
