A remote Mac mini
you can access from anywhere.

Tailscale makes it feel like it's on your desk.

Every Halfpenny Mac is connected via Tailscale — a modern VPN built on WireGuard. Once you join the same Tailscale network, your Mac mini is accessible as if it were on your local network:

• SSH access — ssh youruser@your-mac.tailnet from anywhere in the world
• VNC (Screen Sharing) — full graphical desktop access, built into macOS
• No port forwarding. No public IP. No firewall rules to manage
• End-to-end encrypted — WireGuard encryption between your device and your Mac
• Works from any device — Tailscale clients for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android

Latency from anywhere in the UK is typically under 15ms. Even from continental Europe, it's fast enough for interactive SSH sessions and comfortable VNC.

What people use a remote Mac for.

• iOS CI/CD — Xcode builds, fastlane, App Store submissions running 24/7
• Development environment — a persistent Mac workspace you can connect to from any machine
• Browser automation — Playwright, Puppeteer, persistent logged-in sessions
• AI inference — Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX running local models around the clock
• Media processing — Compressor, ffmpeg, audio/video transcoding on Apple silicon
• Home lab without the hardware — all the benefits of a Mac server, none of the physical infrastructure

Full root access. Install anything you want. It's your Mac — we just keep the hardware running.
