Questions & answers

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, pasted into NoMac
  • ·The App Privacy questions — a short form before your first release
  • ·TestFlight on your iPhone — one tap on the invite

The setup wizard walks you through each step and verifies it live. We never ask for your Apple ID password.

What runs on autopilot?

Everything after that — every build, every release, hands-off:

  • ·Certificates, provisioning & signing
  • ·Cloud-Mac release builds
  • ·TestFlight upload & distribution
  • ·Crash & tester-feedback collection
  • ·App Store metadata & screenshots
  • ·Review-readiness checks
  • ·The App Store submission itself
Which agents work with it?

Any agent that speaks MCP or can run a CLI — 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.
