Real Apple hardware
Mac mini M6 and Mac mini M5 Pro — fully dedicated, never shared.
Hosted in Europe

Remote power control
Hard reboot, power on/off through APC PDUs, audited per action.
JetKVM console
Open a real KVM session with virtual media to install or recover macOS.
Remote hands
Reseat cables, swap drives or attach a display — book it in the portal.
Proactive support
Engineers monitor your Mac 24/7 and reach out before you notice.
Built for every Mac workflow
From a single dev workstation to a fleet of CI runners — vBoxx scales with your team.
Self-hosted macOS build runners for Xcode projects
For development teams that need unattended, repeatable iOS and macOS builds. You register a dedicated Mac mini as a runner in your CI system, and every push produces a signed build or test result on hardware nobody else uses.
- Queue time on hosted macOS runners. Shared macOS runners can be slow to start and are billed per minute. A dedicated runner is always on and picks up jobs immediately.
- Cold caches on every job. Ephemeral runners start empty. A persistent Mac keeps DerivedData, SwiftPM, CocoaPods and Homebrew caches between builds.
- Control over Xcode versions. You decide when to install a new Xcode or macOS release, instead of following the image schedule of a CI vendor.
A persistent remote Mac for interactive Xcode development
For developers who write and debug iOS or macOS apps but do not work on a Mac, or who need a second, always-on Mac. You connect to your own Mac mini, open Xcode, run the simulator and pick up where you left off the next day.
- Developers on Windows or Linux. Xcode only runs on macOS. A remote Mac gives Flutter, React Native and web teams a place to build and debug the iOS side.
- One workspace that stays put. Your checkout, simulators, settings and caches persist. Nothing is reset between sessions.
- No hardware to ship or manage. New team members or contractors get access to a Mac in the datacenter instead of a laptop in the post.
Test in real Safari and on real macOS
For QA teams and web agencies that need to see how a website behaves in Safari, or how a Mac application behaves on a real macOS installation. Run manual checks, automated UI tests and screenshot comparisons on a Mac you control.
- Safari bugs you cannot reproduce on Windows. WebKit engines in other tools are close, but not identical to Safari. Layout and media issues often only show up in real Safari.
- Testing a Mac app before release. Installers, permissions prompts, notarisation and sandboxing behave differently on a real Mac than in a description.
- Unreproducible test results. A dedicated machine with a known macOS and browser version gives consistent screenshots and test runs.
A remote Mac workspace for macOS-only applications
For businesses whose staff work on Windows, Linux or at different locations, but occasionally or regularly need a macOS application. They connect to a dedicated Mac mini in the datacenter and find their files and apps exactly as they left them.
- One macOS app in a Windows company. Buying and managing Macs for a single application is expensive. A hosted Mac gives access without new laptops.
- Distributed or temporary staff. Contractors and remote employees get a Mac they can reach from anywhere, and access can be removed again in one step.
- Work that should not leave the company. Files stay on a Mac in your account in a Dutch datacenter instead of on personal devices.
Offload video rendering and encoding to dedicated Macs
For production companies and creative agencies that want long exports, transcodes and batch renders off their editing workstations. Upload a project or source files, let a hosted Mac process them in the background and download the result.
- Editing machines blocked by exports. Moving long renders to another Mac frees the editor to keep working.
- Repeated encoding jobs. Delivering the same master in several formats is easy to script on a machine that is always on.
- Apple-specific codecs and tools. Apple silicon has hardware media engines for H.264, HEVC and ProRes, used by macOS-native tools.
Run language models on your own dedicated Apple silicon
For teams that want to run open-weight language models without sending prompts to a third-party AI API. You install the inference software, load the model and put your own authenticated API in front of it.
- Prompts and documents leaving your control. With your own inference server, prompts are processed on a Mac only you control.
- Large models on limited GPU memory. Apple silicon shares unified memory between CPU and GPU, so the memory you choose is available to the model.
- Predictable cost. A fixed monthly price instead of paying per token.
Install anything you want
You get root on real Apple silicon. No sandboxes, no restrictions. Bring your toolchain, your provisioning profiles and your simulators.
- Xcode
- Docker
- Homebrew
- Node.js
- Flutter
- Cursor
- VS Code
- fastlane
- Git
- Python
- Ollama

Trusted by teams shipping from Europe
From indie iOS developers to enterprise CI/CD pipelines.
Build times for our Xcode pipeline dropped from 18 to 6 minutes after we moved off virtualised Macs to dedicated Macs on vBoxx.
Their remote power and JetKVM saved us a 3-hour drive to the colo more times than we can count. Setup was an afternoon.
EU-only hosting and the ISO 27001 certificate ticked every box for our security review. Procurement signed off in a week.
