After merging code, you should be checking build results—not wondering whether the office lost power. OSXPort hosts dedicated physical Mac minis for CI teams, keeping power, networking, and cooling at the data center so your team can focus on engineering and release schedules.
From $19.7/day, billed in USD. Test your own pipeline first, then decide whether to move it long term.
Share the server across your branches without competing with other customers for its resources.

Office self-hosting, shared runners, and dedicated hosting can all run builds. The difference is who keeps the machine available and whether you need an environment that stays up long term. We’re a fit for teams merging several times a day that want less hardware to look after—not for every packaging workload.
Power, network connectivity, and cooling are part of the hosting environment. Servers run online 365 days a year; overnight jobs no longer depend on the office power switch or air-conditioning habits.
This means fewer non-code tasks for the person responsible, but it doesn’t guarantee every build will succeed. Dependency downloads, test results, and project configuration still need to be troubleshot separately.
Your team configures and manages the code, runner registration, toolchain versions, signing assets, concurrency limits, and build artifacts. The macOS GUI and command line are fully available, so existing workflows can be connected as usual.
Back up signing certificates, project configuration, and critical artifacts yourself. Caches can speed up repeat builds, but they’re no substitute for restorable project files and credential backups.
If a server has connection issues, first determine whether the cause is the network, the system, or the job itself. If you suspect a hardware fault, submit the server ID, time, and details in a support ticket through the console to start troubleshooting and server replacement.
After a replacement, verify the runner, toolchain, and signing configuration again. Documenting recovery steps in advance is more reliable than assuming a machine will never fail.
A dedicated physical server makes resource ownership and environment changes easier to understand. It removes competition for resources from other customers on the same machine, but not fluctuations caused by project size, job volume, or dependency services.
The CPU, unified memory, and SSD serve your workloads alone. Your team manages DerivedData, dependencies, and project caches; another customer’s builds won’t clear them.
When build times change, investigate project updates, cache hits, test scope, and local concurrency instead of guessing whether an unfamiliar job is using the machine.
Multiple branches from the same team can still compete for one server. Starting every job at once won’t create more compute capacity; set runner concurrency based on memory use and release priorities.
A single server is less elastic than an on-demand shared setup. Shared runners may suit occasional builds or brief, unpredictable peaks; if you already have an idle Mac and build only once or twice a month, self-hosting may cost less.
Use the same code to compare checkout, dependency setup, compilation, testing, and upload. Then identify whether the bottleneck is compute, networking, or job design. Dedicated hosting clarifies resource ownership; it doesn’t solve every build problem.
Apple Silicon M4 suits lightweight packaging and everyday development; M4 Pro offers another option for larger projects and higher memory needs. We list the chip, unified memory, and SSD capacity rather than relying on vague tier names, and make no claim that one plan will speed up every project by the same amount.
Apple Silicon M4 · 16GB unified memory · 256GB SSD
For a single app, a few builds a day, or an initial test of remote builds. Not recommended for running multiple simulators and many parallel compilation jobs at once.
$19.7/day · $98.5/month
$53.2/week · $267.9/quarter
Rent Port M4 BaseApple Silicon M4 · 24GB unified memory · 512GB SSD
For daily merge builds, multiple branch jobs, and simulator testing. Set concurrency based on your project’s actual peak memory use—not simply to the maximum number of jobs.
$40.3/day · $201.6/month
$108.9/week · $548.4/quarter
Rent Port M4 PlusApple Silicon M4 Pro · 64GB unified memory · 2TB SSD
For large projects with multiple targets, memory-intensive jobs, and local model inference experiments. If your workload depends on multi-GPU training, a Mac mini isn’t a substitute for the appropriate hardware.
$61.4/day · $307.1/month
$165.8/week · $835.3/quarter
Rent Port M4 ProPrices shown are for the server only and billed in USD. Storage upgrades and other add-ons are charged separately; confirm the full configuration and final price at checkout.
Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US West Coast serve teams across Asia-Pacific and the western US. All three server plans are available in all five regions; check the console for real-time availability. Choose a region based not only on the distance from your team to the server, but also on the full path for code checkout, dependency downloads, and artifact uploads.
A good first region to evaluate for Southeast Asian teams. Test with your code repository and commonly used dependency sources to see whether setup time is a major part of the build.
Choose a Singapore serverAn option for teams in Japan and across East Asia. If you need frequent remote access, test both the interactive experience and upload routes.
Choose a Tokyo serverWorth comparing for teams in Northeast Asia. Test with the same commit and dependency versions so cache differences aren’t mistaken for regional performance differences.
Choose a Seoul serverA region to consider for teams in South China and Southeast Asia. Cross-network routes can vary by carrier, so base your decision on a test with your own project.
Choose a Hong Kong serverA good region to evaluate for repositories, dependency sources, and team connections on the US West Coast. For distributed teams, choose based on where most pipeline data flows.
Choose a US West Coast serverThese are guidelines for choosing a region, not city-by-city latency measurements. For cross-region teams, record checkout and upload times before moving a server; don’t use location names as a substitute for testing.
CI leads need information they can use to make decisions. We clearly separate the product catalog, suitability limits, and payment terms so there are no surprises after signup.
We list the chip, unified memory, SSD, and all four billing periods separately. Base server prices and add-ons are clearly distinguished; monthly prices aren’t presented as daily starting rates, and specific configurations aren’t hidden behind labels like “high-spec.” Check the resources first, then the total cost for your intended term.
If you have an idle Mac and build infrequently, self-hosting may cost less. Shared runners may be more flexible for brief, variable peaks. Workflows that depend on debugging on a local device shouldn’t rely solely on a remote server. Dedicated hosting suits ongoing use; it doesn’t need to replace every development setup.
We accept USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe) only. Available payment gateways depend on the response from our backend. Before ordering, confirm the server, region, term, and add-ons. Contact support through a console ticket for payment or billing issues, or email support@osxport.com with pre-sales questions.
Start by running checkout, dependency setup, compilation, testing, and archiving. Record build times and peak memory, then choose a plan, concurrency level, and term. Day trials start at $19.7/day, so you don’t have to commit to a long-term environment upfront.
If you already have an idle machine and package only once or twice a month, we recommend calculating your self-hosting costs first.
