Features

Everything you need to run macOS at scale

From single-machine dev work to multi-node CI/CD fleets.

Automation-First CLI

Full control from the command line. Script your entire VM lifecycle — create, snapshot, clone, destroy. Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions workflows.

Terminal

Templates & Cloning

Save your perfect VM setup as a template. Clone new instances in under 30 seconds using APFS copy-on-write — no extra disk space required.

Instant Snapshots

Sub-second snapshot and restore. Keep named restore points like "pre-enrollment" or "clean-xcode". Only deltas are stored — minimal disk overhead.

OCI Image Support

Pull and run OCI-compatible macOS images. Standardize your build environments across your team with container-like workflows.

Apple platform note: Apple's Virtualization.framework limits concurrent VMs to 2 per Mac. You can store unlimited VMs, but only run 2 simultaneously. This is an Apple limitation — we want you to know before you buy. Scale horizontally with Fleet Manager across multiple Macs.

Scale horizontally

Fleet Manager connects all your Macs into a single control plane. Manage VMs, monitor resources, and orchestrate CI/CD runners across your entire infrastructure.

Real-time CPU, memory, and disk metrics per node

Developer SDK

Automate everything with code

First-class Python and JavaScript SDKs to manage VMs, snapshots, and your entire fleet programmatically.

Python SDK

pip install ciderstack

from ciderstack import FleetClient client = FleetClient("192.168.1.100", api_token="csk_abc123...") # List VMs on this node vms = client.list_vms() for vm in vms: print(f"{vm.name}: {vm.state}") # Run a command inside a VM result = client.exec_command( vm_id="vm-uuid", command="xcodebuild test", ssh_user="admin", ssh_password="password" ) print(result.stdout)

Async support Type hints Fleet management

JavaScript SDK

npm install @ciderstack/fleet-sdk

import { FleetClient } from "@ciderstack/fleet-sdk"; const client = new FleetClient(); // Create a VM from template const vm = await client.createVM({ name: "ci-runner", template: "Xcode-16", }); // Run a command const result = await vm.exec("xcodebuild test"); console.log(result.stdout); // Snapshot and clean up await vm.snapshot("post-test"); await vm.destroy();
