A remote Mac when you do not own one

Sometimes you need a Mac for a day: check a site in Safari, run a macOS-only program, sign a file or chase a bug that only reproduces on a Mac. Rent a VM or a Mac mini for a day and connect from Windows, Linux or another Mac.

Bring your own remote tool: you have administrator rights, so install whatever you already use. On a whole Mac we suggest Parsec, which is pre-installed — sign in with your own account for a smooth desktop. In a VM the supported route is Screen Sharing (VNC) and SSH: Parsec inside a VM is not confirmed yet. Screen Sharing and SSH are always there.

The computers are in Kuala Lumpur. Browsers, terminals and IDEs are comfortable; video, animation and anything that needs a snappy screen will lag over that distance. A day is a cheap way to find out for yourself.

Good for

  • Testing sites and web apps in Safari
  • Software that only exists for macOS
  • One-off jobs that take a day or two

Not a fit

  • Video editing and games — distance adds lag
  • A low-latency everyday workstation from Europe
