Nix for macOS

Nix for macOS, without the friction

Determinate turns macOS into a first-class Nix platform: signed and notarized installers, deep Keychain and MDM integration, and a Nix that survives every macOS update instead of breaking on it.

Native Keychain integration

Credentials and certificates are managed through macOS Keychain, so nothing sensitive touches disk unprotected.

Survival mode

Determinate Nix keeps running through macOS updates instead of breaking, so upgrade day doesn't turn into an incident.

Run macOS builders at scale on EC2 Mac instances, autoscaling to match CI demand.

Enterprise network ready

Automatic certificate handling means Determinate Nix works out of the box behind enterprise proxies like Fortinet and Zscaler as well as custom certificate authorities.
