Macless
Builds and ships your iOS app to TestFlight on GitHub's free Mac runners, no Mac needed
Macless wraps GitHub Actions' free macOS build minutes (normally used for tests) into a six-step wizard that signs your iOS app with your own certificates and uploads it to TestFlight — replacing a $699 Mac or a $20–100/month cloud-Mac rental for something you'd use minutes at a time. Signing details are stored as encrypted GitHub secrets the wizard creates for you, and no workflow runs on pull requests, closing the usual way public repos leak secrets. It's $19.99/month or $299 once, built by a solo developer who used this exact pipeline to ship his own app, Citolex, with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you can't get a signed build out.
What holds up
- +Uses GitHub's free macOS Actions minutes — no $699 Mac or $20–100/mo rental
- +Workflows never run on pull requests — closes the usual way public repos leak secrets
- +$299 once buys it outright — no ongoing subscription if you'd rather not pay monthly
- +30-day money-back guarantee if you can't get a signed build out
Mind the limits
- −Free GitHub macOS minutes apply to public repos — private repos likely burn paid Actions time
- −$19.99/mo (or $299 once), on top of Apple's own $99/yr developer program fee
