Test with your Mac
What volunteering in the unpaid beta means.
Unpaid host beta
Help test real media jobs on idle Apple Silicon.
RenderMac host testers run an agent that claims typed beta work: Remotion, FFmpeg assembly, and VideoToolbox encodes. Pause anytime. Participation is voluntary and unpaid during this stage.
Compensation, plainly: This beta does not pay earnings, wages, credits, reimbursements, or payouts. Test activity creates no payable balance. A future paid host program would require separate terms and explicit opt-in.

- Power draw - electricity in cents; time/thermals dominate.
- Idle Mac render network and Mac mini render farm.
