NoMac provides on-demand, disposable cloud macOS environments on Apple silicon designed for AI agents to build, test, and ship Apple platform applications.
What the product does and how it is positioned
NoMac is a cloud platform that provisions real macOS instances on Apple silicon for autonomous AI agents. Coding assistants and agent frameworks such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, and ChatGPT connect directly via the Model Context Protocol, command-line interfaces, REST APIs, or SSH.
Each environment includes full administrative privileges with automated bypass of macOS permission dialogues and system prompts. Instances include preinstalled Apple developer tooling, cloud iOS simulation, persistent storage for incremental builds, and in-browser graphical desktop monitoring.
Source-supported ways to use the product
AI coding agents compile iOS projects with Xcode, create archives, and deploy builds directly to TestFlight or App Review.
Agents run applications inside cloud iOS Simulators to inspect interface elements, extract text, and capture screenshots or recordings.
Developer tools and platforms provision isolated macOS instances per user using TypeScript or Python SDKs with distinct persistent drives and signed webhooks.
NoMac configures macOS instances specifically for unattended automation by AI agents. Running on Apple silicon hardware, the operating system bypasses standard interactive security hurdles that typically disrupt automated pipelines. Commands requiring administrative access run without password prompts, system authorization dialogs are automatically cleared, and display sleep locks remain disabled.
Agents direct the machine through several interfaces, including the Model Context Protocol, command-line tooling, REST APIs, and standard SSH. Alongside programmatic execution, operators can open a browser-based desktop view to observe the agent working in real time or take manual control of the graphical user interface.
Checks to run with your own material and workflow
What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
Every session includes macOS with Xcode 27, Homebrew, Node, Python, and CocoaPods preinstalled, alongside the iOS Simulator for mobile app execution.
Each environment includes a 20 GB encrypted persistent drive mounted at ~/drive, allowing projects, packages, and build caches to carry over between sessions.
Yes, agents can perform code signing, upload builds to TestFlight, notarize Mac applications, and submit apps for App Review with an Apple Developer account.
Agents can control sessions through the Model Context Protocol, a command-line interface, REST APIs, or SSH, operating with administrative root permissions.
Sessions operate on real macOS environments powered by Apple silicon hardware, specifically utilizing Apple M6 and M5 Pro processors.
