Buying means upfront spend and upkeep

You pay the full hardware price, handle repairs and macOS upkeep, find desk space and power, and watch resale value drop.

Renting keeps it simple

Predictable monthly billing, fully managed hardware, access from anywhere and terms that fit your project.

Security

Your Data on a Rented Mac Mini M6 Stays Yours

A strict zero access policy, credentials only you control and a certified wipe between customers.

01 Handover

Only you hold the credentials

You receive a fresh macOS install, create the admin account yourself and change every secret on first login.

02 In service

We stay out of your system

We monitor power and network at the rack level only. Nothing inside your macOS reports back to us.

03 Cancellation

Time to migrate, then a wipe

You get a grace window to move your data. After that, the SSD is cryptographically erased and the keys are destroyed.

04 Reassignment

Verified clean before reuse

macOS is reinstalled from a clean image and the wipe is logged before the machine returns to our pool.
