NoMac.app

NoMac is an AI-native, headless mobile CI/CD service for iOS that runs builds on cloud Macs and automates the full publishing pipeline — from signing and TestFlight distribution to App Store submission. It is designed for agent-driven workflows: you or an AI agent can control NoMac via a CLI, API, or MCP. The product removes the need for a local Mac or Xcode, manages certificates/provisioning/signing, and provides a setup wizard that walks through required one-time Apple steps (Apple Developer account, App Store Connect API key, TestFlight on device).

Key Features

Cloud Mac release builds

Build signed iOS release binaries on cloud Macs so you don't need a local Mac or Xcode.

Managed certificates, provisioning & signing

NoMac handles certificates, provisioning profiles, and code signing automatically after initial setup.

TestFlight upload & preview on device

Uploads builds to TestFlight and enables preview on your iPhone in minutes; crashes and tester feedback flow back to your agent.

App Store metadata, screenshots & submission

Automates metadata generation, screenshot handling, review-readiness checks, and the App Store submission process.

Agent-first controls (CLI, API, MCP)

Drive the pipeline programmatically via CLI, API, or MCP so AI agents (or humans) can manage builds and releases.

Setup wizard

Interactive setup wizard walks through required Apple steps and verifies them live without asking for your Apple ID password.

Crash & tester feedback collection

Collects crash reports and tester feedback and surfaces them to your agent or workflow.

Use Cases

Agent-driven app publishing

Have an AI agent build, test, and submit iOS apps end-to-end via CLI/API/MCP without manual Mac or Xcode intervention.

Continuous delivery for iOS

Automate frequent builds, TestFlight distribution, and App Store submissions as part of a headless CI/CD pipeline.

Rapid device previews and feedback loops

Send a build to TestFlight within minutes for on-device testing and route crash reports and tester feedback back to your agent for iteration.

Validation of signed release builds

Produce and validate signed release .ipa artifacts on cloud Macs before distribution.

Integrations

TestFlight / App Store Connect

Uploads builds to TestFlight, distributes to testers, and submits releases to the App Store (requires App Store Connect API key).

Cloud Macs

Runs Xcode builds on cloud Mac infrastructure to produce signed .ipa release artifacts.

MCP / CLI / API-compatible agents

Works with any agent that speaks MCP or can run a CLI, listed examples include Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.

Benefits

Eliminates need for a local Mac or Xcode by running builds on cloud Macs.
Automates certificates, provisioning, signing, TestFlight upload, and App Store submission for hands-off releases.
Enables agent-driven workflows (CLI/API/MCP) so AI agents can manage mobile release pipelines.
Quick previews on your iPhone — first build can arrive in minutes.
Setup wizard verifies required Apple configuration without asking for Apple ID credentials.

Limitations

Requires an Apple Developer account and App Store Connect API key (one-time human steps enforced by Apple).
TestFlight testing requires a physical iPhone and accepting the TestFlight invite.
Cloud-driven simulators that agents can drive are 'coming next' — until then, the user or agent must handle simulation locally ('Until then, you are the simulator').

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NoMac?
An iOS publishing pipeline that runs entirely in the cloud: it builds, signs, uploads to TestFlight, and submits to the App Store. You — or your AI agent — drive it through a CLI, API, or MCP.
Really — no Mac?
Really. Builds run on cloud Macs, and testing happens on your own iPhone through TestFlight. You never open Xcode.
What do I have to set up myself?
You must provide an Apple Developer account ($99/yr), create and paste an App Store Connect API key once, answer the App Privacy questions before your first release, and enable TestFlight on your iPhone. The setup wizard guides and verifies each step.
What runs on autopilot?
After the one-time setup, NoMac automates certificates/provisioning/signing, cloud-Mac release builds, TestFlight upload & distribution, crash & tester-feedback collection, App Store metadata & screenshots, review-readiness checks, and the actual App Store submission.
Which agents work with it?
Any agent that speaks MCP or can run a CLI — examples mentioned include Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. NoMac does not ship an LLM; your agent provides the intelligence.
How do I start?
Sign in with Apple and pick a plan, then tell your agent to read nomac.app/install or run npx @nomac/cli login in your app's folder to begin. Your first build can land on your phone in minutes.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Sign in with Apple and pick a plan on nomac.app.
  2. 2 Provide one-time Apple items: an Apple Developer account, create/paste an App Store Connect API key, and answer App Privacy questions (the setup wizard guides and verifies these).
  3. 3 Install or invoke the CLI (e.g., run npx @nomac/cli login in your app folder) or have your agent read nomac.app/install to start a build.
  4. 4 Upload code and instruct your agent or run CLI commands to build, distribute to TestFlight, and submit to the App Store.
