View full plansKeep a dedicated machine for tasks that require macOS.
Every use case maps clearly to a desktop, terminal, log, or build artifact—without the vague resource boundaries of shared virtual machines.
Independent developers
Maintain Xcode projects remotely
Inspect projects, simulators, and signing settings on the VNC desktop; sync branches, run tests, and archive build logs in the terminal.
- Pin Xcode and dependency versions
- Keep a continuously available development directory
- Return build artifacts to local devices
CI teams
Run a self-hosted runner
Standardize runner labels, workspaces, and cache boundaries, and write failures, build commands, and full output to team logs.
- Manage build queues and concurrency
- Isolate project credentials and cache directories
- Archive diagnostics by failed task
AI experiments
Test Apple Silicon workloads
Validate dependencies, inference scripts, and container images on arm64, recording memory peaks, startup time, and per-task duration.
- Check binary architectures and dependencies
- Monitor resource curves for long-running tasks
- Keep reproducible run commands
Audio and video teams
Run encoding and automated exports
Keep media queues running remotely, monitor progress, failed jobs, and output directories in the terminal, then retrieve artifacts together.
- Separate input, cache, and output directories
- Record encoding parameters and task duration
- Verify export results by batch
From configuration to workload, everything is tracked on one delivery board.
The console connects the model, region, desktop connection, and task record. Allocation maps to a dedicated physical machine, not a shared virtual machine.

Delivery timeline
From order to availability, expect about 4 minutes.
The system confirms the plan, verifies the order, allocates a physical node, and generates connection details in sequence. Check each step in the console.
About 4 minutes
Estimated total for four steps
Actual timing depends on the availability and processing status returned by the console.
Confirm plan and billing term
Review M4 Core or M4 Plus, region, daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly term, and add-ons.
Verify order
Confirm the USD amount and payment result, then add the order to the delivery queue.
Allocate a dedicated physical node
A dedicated Mac mini is assigned from the selected region, with computing resources not shared with other orders.
Generate connection details
The console provides the target address, username, credential status, and first-connection instructions.

Remote workspace
Desktop and terminal, each for the tasks they handle best.
Use the graphical desktop for Xcode, simulators, and GUI tools; use the terminal for builds, tests, runners, and long-running scripts. Credentials and node status are managed centrally; after a disconnect, check the node and session status before reconnecting.
VNC desktop
Open Xcode, simulators, and desktop tools remotely.
Terminal access
Run builds, tests, and automation scripts.
View credentials
Review the target address, username, and credential status in one place.
Reconnect session
Restore the connection based on node, local network, and client status.
Let build tasks follow the team, not a single desk.
Mobile development, continuous integration, and collaborative reviews share clear nodes, task states, logs, and handoff records—without invented customer logos standing in for verifiable workflows.

Before you order
Understand the service boundaries before choosing a configuration.
For connection, credential, billing, or build-environment questions, visit the support page to see what information to prepare.
Is BookAMini a shared virtual machine?
No. Each order gets a dedicated physical Mac mini, with computing resources not shared with other orders.
How soon can I start using it?
Plan confirmation takes about 30 seconds, order verification about 1 minute, physical node allocation about 2 minutes, and connection details generation about 30 seconds—about 4 minutes total. Actual timing is shown by the console.
Which payment methods are supported?
Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex processed through Stripe are supported. All orders are settled in USD; available gateways are determined by the backend response.
How do I choose a region?
Choose the nearest region to your team first, then test repository access, VNC input latency, and build dependency download speed. The current directory includes Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, US East, and US West.
Do the nodes run year-round?
All nodes operate normally 365 days a year. Connection quality still depends on the user’s local network, routing, and client settings. Troubleshoot in order: node status, local network, client logs, and credential validity.
