Give Claude Code, Codex or Cursor its own Mac in the cloud: Xcode on Apple silicon, ready in about 30 seconds. Your agent builds your iOS app, runs it on an iPhone Simulator you can watch live, and ships it to TestFlight and the App Store. Then the Mac shuts down. Billed per minute from prepaid credit, no subscription: a whole build costs a few cents.
Coding agents can write an iPhone app, but they can't build one: Xcode only runs on a Mac, and Claude Code, Codex or Cursor often run on Linux, in a cloud sandbox, or on a Windows laptop.
NoMac gives your agent its own Mac. Connect it in one line (claude mcp add nomac -- npx @nomac/cli mcp), then ask in plain words. Today I asked Claude Code to build a small iOS app on a cloud Mac, run it on the iPhone Simulator and save a screenshot. It started a Mac (ready in 25 seconds), built in 11.4 seconds, read the Simulator's screen, saved the screenshot and shut the Mac down. The Mac time cost 3 cents.
What your agent gets:
• A full Mac with Xcode on Apple silicon, ready in about 30 seconds. It's the admin, so nothing waits on a password prompt.
• iOS Simulators it can actually use: it reads the screen as text and taps by label, and you watch it live from a link.
• Signing, TestFlight and App Store submission as tools.
• A drive that keeps the project between Macs, so the next build only compiles what changed.
$0.90 an hour, billed per minute, from $10 of prepaid credit that never expires. No subscription, no 24-hour minimum. You can use the Mac yourself too, in the browser or over SSH.
What would your agent build first? I'm here all day.
what does a start retried with the same request_key return if that mac already stopped on its spend cap
Watching the simulator live while my agent clicks through the app is the part that would save me the most time, since I usually only find out a flow broke when it is already on TestFlight.
If the agent ships to TestFlight, does the next Mac still have my Apple Developer login and signing certs on that persistent drive, or do I re-auth each boot?

Who hunted NoMac?
NoMac was hunted by Gary Miklos. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
