Rent a Mac in the Cloud
Rent a Mac is your ultimate solution for flexible, hassle-free access to top-tier Apple devices. Whether you need a Mac for a day, a week, or an entire month, we’ve got you covered with tailored subscription plans designed to meet your needs.
From $3.3/day if billed monthly
How Does it Work?
We host our own Mac computers in secure data centers, providing you with a direct remote desktop connection to our machines. No Virtual Machine involved. We will then make sure all the data is removed once you’re done or, if you desire, we can keep your data in our servers, so you can hop back in later and get back from where you left.
