How-to
Pair a Mac for the unpaid host beta.
Host pairing exists so a local Mac can join the beta with a narrow device credential. This is voluntary testing; no earnings, wages, credits, reimbursements, or payouts accrue.
Steps
- Create or sign in to a host tester account at provider.rendermac.com.
- Accept the beta terms and the unpaid host tester acknowledgement.
- Generate a one-use pairing code from the provider dashboard.
- Open the native RenderMac Host app on the Mac and enter the pairing code.
- Confirm the Mac appears in the dashboard, then pause whenever you need the machine back.
The local host controller is loopback-only and per-launch-token authenticated. The host credential belongs in macOS Keychain, not browser storage. Choose
org_private for your own test capacity or shared_beta to volunteer for unpaid cross-organization routing tests; either way the host talks to RenderMac through the public gateway, not directly to a buyer service on your LAN.Volunteer for the unpaid host beta
