Apple Silicon CI · built in Menlo Park

Fast Mac CI for
humans and agents.

Ephemeral M4 Pro runners for iOS and macOS teams. Keep GitHub Actions, change one line, and give every developer—or coding agent—fast, predictable Apple Silicon.

Current pilot image: macOS 15.7.7 with Xcode 26.6. Xcode 16.4 remains available through an explicit compatibility label. See the image contract.

One runner layer

Built for the way Mac software ships now.

The same GitHub-native runner handles interactive teams, automated coding agents, and real Aqua GUI tests.

SW

Swift & Xcode CI

Build, test, and package iOS and macOS projects on pinned Apple Silicon images.

AX

GUI & accessibility

Run XCUITest, Accessibility workflows, and simulators in a real Aqua session.

AI

Agent-generated code

Let coding agents open PRs and validate each change on a fast, repeatable Mac environment.

Flat-rate pricing

Pay for concurrency,
not build minutes.

Get a dedicated M4 Pro profile for each job and a predictable monthly bill, with no per-minute overage charges.

Start free

Simple capacity: each Standard runner has 6 vCPU, 22GB, and runs one job at a time.
Free trial: one Standard runner for 14 days or 300 build minutes. After the trial, Founding is $99 monthly with that price guaranteed for 12 months—no annual prepayment required. Fair use: above 15,000 minutes per runner in 30 days starts a capacity review, never a surprise charge. This is an early-access pilot without a contractual SLA. See the pilot terms and refund policy.

GitHub stays in charge.

Manzanita replaces only the slow machine underneath your existing job.

01

Install the GitHub App

Grant access only to the repositories that should use Manzanita.

02

Change one runner label

Keep your actions, secrets, cache keys, artifacts, and GitHub workflow structure.

03

Get a clean Mac

Every job starts in a prewarmed Tart VM and the VM is destroyed afterward.

Isolation you can inspect

Trust the lifecycle,
not a black box.

The control plane never proxies your source or build logs. A disposable VM checks out source directly from GitHub with short-lived credentials, uploads logs and artifacts to GitHub, then destroys its workspace.
