Why a Mac

Kelvin drives your app on a real machine and records what happened there. The cloud schedules the work and keeps the evidence; the Mac does the work.

Enrol one

1. Download and install Kelvin on the Mac you want to enrol. Run doctor before enrollment.Download Kelvin for Mac
2. Open Nodes in the dashboard.app.kelvincode.com
3. Give the machine a label — optional — and create an enrollment code.
4. Copy the code and run the command shown on the Macs page in Terminal. Wait for node.ready.

The code is single-use and shown exactly once, and it is short-lived: the screen counts it down, and the code disappears when it reaches zero. Nothing is lost if that happens — create another.

Who can do this

Seeing the fleet and creating a code needs the fleet administrator role. Somebody without it sees the screen say so, rather than a button that could not work.

What happens next

The Mac appears in the fleet. Once online, Cloud can send it jobs; Kelvin runs the app and records the session evidence.

The build and the scenario a run will use reach the project through the API — that is the way in for what the run needs.
