Me and my friends moved our whole AI agent setup (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor agents) from my MacBook to a Hetzner box following @levelsio 's tips. Best decision we made, except for one thing: every time we touched a native iOS app, we were back on the Mac. Signing, archiving, uploading to TestFlight, all of it chained to that one laptop.
We looked at the usual options:
- Cloud Macs: $100+/month for a machine that sits idle 95% of the time
the no-xcode pipeline feels like it was built by people who actually shipped an iOS app from Linux and got tired of the friction. love that the MCP integration is first-class instead of an afterthought.
Interesting product, but don't know how to implement it.
Gary, needing one particular machine just to get an app out the door has always felt like a silly gate. Knocking that barrier down so more people can actually ship their ideas is lovely to see.
