Remote Mac Build Node Guide

Use a shared Mac mini M4 as a CI build node for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or other runners. This guide points you to setup and best practices.

Why a dedicated Remote Mac build node?

A dedicated Mac mini gives you a stable, consistent environment for iOS/macOS builds: same macOS version, same Xcode and toolchain, and no queue contention with other teams. You can pre-pull dependencies (e.g. with OpenClaw) so each pipeline run is fast and reproducible.

See our blog for step-by-step setup: Team shared Mac build node setup guide.

Recommended setup

Choose M4 Advanced or Pro for team-shared CI (see pricing).
Select a region close to your team or CI origin (Singapore, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, US West).
Use dependency acceleration (mirrors, pre-pull) as in dependency acceleration and OpenClaw guides.
