About This Site and How to Get Shadowrocket
This is the official Shadowrocket site and guide for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux users. Shadowrocket is closed-source commercial software. The guide covers installation, importing existing subscriptions, rule-based routing, and troubleshooting.
There are two ways to get Shadowrocket: the iPhone and iPad version costs $2.99 as a one-time purchase on the App Store; the Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Mac versions are available for Apple Silicon and Intel. Free installation packages are provided at /dl/. See Downloads for all platforms for links and steps to allow the app to open for the first time. For iPhone and iPad, check the App Store page for system requirements; the store listing identifies Shadow Launch Technology Limited as the developer and gives the app ID as 932747118.
Content Updates and Where to Start
Instructions are based on tests with the current interface. Interface labels such as Home, Subscribe, and Config remain in English, and setup steps are distinguished from the conditions required for them to take effect. Interfaces may change with updates, so follow what appears on your device. Rule examples explain syntax and are not complete configurations to apply as-is.
For your first connection, follow the setup guide step by step. For organizing or updating an existing subscription, see the subscription guide. If something looks different or you have a question, search by symptom in Troubleshooting, then check the relevant steps again.
Service Scope and Responsible Use
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend servers or subscriptions. Import instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details. A one-time app purchase is not a network service plan; the app price does not include network services.
Follow local laws and the requirements of the network you use. Only configure connections you are authorized to access. Check server details and rule purposes before use, and keep a backup before making changes. Connection results depend on your local network, server status, and configuration; this guide does not guarantee the availability of any particular service.
