About us

We believe real security
means a machine that is truly yours.

Time's Lab Cloud is a bare-metal Mac hosting service based in Toronto, Canada. We rack brand-new Mac minis and Mac Studios in a professional facility, give each machine to exactly one customer, and after 15 months of continuous subscription hand the whole machine over to you.

Why we built this

Three risks for teams operating overseas.

Many teams need a Mac that stays online with a fixed network setup, for builds, testing or running agents. The usual workarounds are shared proxies, shared accounts, or paying a third party to top up and activate services. They work in the short term but leave three kinds of risk. We designed our service to solve only the technical part, and we spell out what we don't do.

RISK 01

Unstable network and account environment

Shared proxies and constantly changing exit IPs easily trip third-party platforms' risk controls. Many platforms expect you to sign in from the same IP and the same device over time. Remote-desktopping into a home computer can't guarantee bandwidth or stability either.

Possible outcome: accounts restricted or suspended, business interrupted.

OUR APPROACHOne dedicated physical Mac, one long-term static public IP on commercial fiber, and an environment that doesn't change under you.
RISK 02

Proxy payments and proxy-held accounts

Paying subscriptions through a third party, or sharing or reselling accounts, breaks most platforms' terms of service. Collecting and paying money across borders on someone else's behalf may also fall under local payment and foreign-exchange rules. And once an account registered in someone else's name is suspended, appeals and data recovery are very hard.

Possible outcome: lost accounts and history, and legal exposure for whoever paid.

OUR APPROACHWe don't top up, collect or pay on your behalf, and we don't register or hold any third-party account for you. You sign up and pay in your own name; we provide only the hardware and the network.
RISK 03

Unclear control of data and assets

Multi-tenant VMs, and accounts or devices in someone else's name, blur who can see your business data. Moving data across borders can also bring extra compliance obligations that need assessing up front.

Possible outcome: client records, quotes and other sensitive information leak.

OUR APPROACHPhysical isolation, and the machine is yours after 15 months on service. [Our staff never log in without the customer's authorization], and data responsibilities are written into the business contract.

What we believe

Our principles.

01

Dedicated, never shared

Every customer gets a whole physical Mac, its own switch port and its own static IP. No virtualization and no overselling, which rules out guilt-by-association bans at the root.

02

Transparent pricing

Every configuration is priced from Apple Canada's own prices and includes 1 year of AppleCare+. Speed upgrades are on the price list. No hidden fees.

03

Yours in the end

You're not just paying rent. After 15 months on service, ownership of the whole machine passes to you.

04

Clear boundaries

We only do hardware hosting and network access, and never touch your money or your third-party accounts. The scope of service is written into the contract.

Infrastructure

Three fiber nodes, one per speed tier.

Pick a speed tier and we place your machine on the matching node. There's no node to choose yourself.

  • [Bandwidth note: shared line rate-limited to your tier / dedicated guarantee]
  • UPS with LiFePO4 battery backup
  • [Temperature / cooling details]
  • [Remote ops: response time for reboots and reinstalls]
