NoMac.app

NoMac is an AI-native, headless mobile CI/CD service that runs the iOS publishing pipeline entirely in the cloud. It builds on cloud Macs, handles signing and provisioning, uploads to TestFlight, and performs App Store submissions so you do not need to open Xcode or manage certificates locally.

NoMac is designed for both human developers and AI agents: you can drive it via a CLI, API, or MCP. The platform includes a setup wizard for the one-time Apple-specific steps and then automates every subsequent build, distribution, crash/feedback collection, and App Store-ready checks.

Key Features

Cloud macOS builds

Release builds are produced on cloud Macs so you do not need a local macOS machine or Xcode.

Automatic signing & provisioning

Certificates, provisioning profiles, and signing are managed automatically with no manual certificate babysitting.

TestFlight upload & distribution

Built binaries are uploaded to TestFlight and distributed to testers; previews appear on your phone in about three minutes.

App Store submission

Metadata, screenshots, review-readiness checks, and the App Store submission itself are handled by the pipeline.

Crash & tester feedback collection

Crashes and tester feedback are collected and fed back to your agent or workflow.

Agent-first automation (CLI / API / MCP)

Can be driven by any agent that speaks MCP or can run a CLI; integrates with agents rather than shipping an LLM.

Setup wizard

Interactive setup wizard walks through required human-gated Apple steps and verifies them live; does not request your Apple ID password.

Simulators (coming soon)

Cloud simulators that agents can drive are planned; until then, manual simulation is required.

Use Cases

Agent-driven app publishing

Automate end-to-end iOS release workflows by letting an AI agent drive builds, TestFlight distribution, and App Store submissions via CLI, API, or MCP.

Headless mobile CI/CD

Run CI/CD for iOS entirely in the cloud without maintaining Macs, Xcode, or manually managing signing credentials.

Rapid device preview and testing

Deliver preview builds to an iPhone in minutes via TestFlight for quick iteration and feedback collection.

Automated App Store readiness and submission

Automate metadata, screenshots, review checks, and the final App Store submission to reduce manual release work.

Integrations

CLI

Drive NoMac from your local environment; example usage includes npx @nomac/cli login.

API

Programmatic access to drive builds and releases (platform lists API as a control surface).

MCP

Supports agents that speak MCP as a control channel.

Agent integrations (examples)

Works with agents that can run a CLI or speak MCP such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others.

Benefits

Eliminates the need for a local Mac or direct use of Xcode for iOS publishing.
Automates signing, provisioning, building, distribution, and App Store submission to reduce manual overhead.
Enables agent-first workflows so AI agents can fully operate the release pipeline via CLI, API, or MCP.
Fast preview distribution: first build can appear on a phone in minutes via TestFlight.
Setup wizard guides through one-time Apple gates without requesting your Apple ID password.

Limitations

Requires a human-set Apple Developer account and an App Store Connect API key (Apple Developer account costs $99/yr, paid to Apple).
Cloud-driven simulators that agents can control are not yet available ("coming next"); until then, you must provide testing via your device/TestFlight.
Some Apple-facing steps require one-time manual interaction (App Privacy questions, TestFlight invite acceptance).

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?
Apple gates a few things behind a human, one time: an Apple Developer account ($99/yr, paid to Apple); an App Store Connect API key (created once and pasted into NoMac); the App Privacy questions (a short form before your first release); and TestFlight on your iPhone (one tap on the invite). The setup wizard walks you through each step and verifies it live. NoMac does not ask for your Apple ID password.
What runs on autopilot?
Everything after the one-time Apple steps: certificates, provisioning & signing; cloud-Mac release builds; TestFlight upload & distribution; crash & tester-feedback collection; App Store metadata & screenshots; review-readiness checks; and the App Store submission itself.
Which agents work with it?
Any agent that speaks MCP or can run a CLI — examples cited include Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and the rest. NoMac ships no LLM; your agent brings 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. Your first build lands on your phone minutes later.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Step 1: Sign in with Apple and pick a NoMac plan.
  2. 2 Step 2: Complete one-time Apple setup: have an Apple Developer account ($99/yr), create an App Store Connect API key, answer the App Privacy questions, and accept a TestFlight invite on your iPhone.
  3. 3 Step 3: Use an agent or run the CLI (for example: npx @nomac/cli login in your app folder) or tell your agent to read nomac.app/install. The setup wizard verifies steps and your first build will land on your phone minutes later.
