For Mac mini owners

Put a Mac mini to work
and share the rent

Supply a Mac mini M4 and we rent it to developers. You earn a share of the rent every month it is rented. We handle the renters, billing, support and the software.

How it works

01

Apply and get approved

Tell us how many Macs and where they will run. We reply by email and open your host account.

02

Prepare each Mac

Sign it out of your Apple Account with Find My off. We erase it, enroll it in our device management and turn on FileVault.

03

Earn monthly

Your host dashboard shows each Mac, whether it is online and rented, and your share so far. Statements close on the 2nd of each month.

  • Your share is calculated on the rent actually collected for your Mac in that calendar month, after refunds. A month with no rental earns nothing.
  • Renters never learn who hosts their Mac, and you do not get access to their data. FileVault stays on and the Mac has no account you can sign in to while it is rented.
  • Keep the Mac on a wired connection and powered. A Mac that is offline cannot be rented.
