Shadowrocket Download and Setup Guide

Shadowrocket is a widely used iOS proxy app that can import subscription-based proxy configurations. It is not the Clash core, but many providers supply compatible subscription entries for it.

Open App Store View tutorial

Quick start with Shadowrocket

The workflow is similar across clients: get the client, copy a private subscription URL, import it as a remote profile, select a node or proxy group, then choose a suitable proxy mode.

Get the client

Open the App Store page from the hero area and install the app for your Apple ID region.

Install and open

Follow the operating system prompts. On macOS, Android or Windows, review security prompts before allowing the app.

Import subscription

Open Profiles, Subscriptions, Remote Config or the equivalent entry, paste the subscription URL and update the profile.

Select a node

After the profile updates, choose a node or proxy group based on latency, region and your current scenario.

Enable proxy

Enable system proxy, VPN or the connection switch, then test whether traffic follows the expected route.

Usage notes

Some App Store regions may not show the app directly.
Subscription format support depends on your provider.
Keep the subscription URL private because it often contains account credentials.
