Free. This site provides an arm64 apk for most phones and tablets released in recent years. The iPhone / iPad version costs $2.99 once on the App Store; Mac, Windows, and Linux versions are also free.
Architecture: arm64. Open the download from your browser's download history and follow the prompt to allow that browser to install unknown apps. If the download won't start in WeChat, open this page in your system browser and tap the installer button.

Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so the system may block them on first launch. Confirm the download source and device architecture, then follow the relevant prompt. Don't disable overall system protection.
| System and prompt | Steps | What to check afterward |
|---|---|---|
| Windows “Windows protected your PC” |
Confirm that you downloaded the Windows installer from this site. In the SmartScreen prompt, select “More info,” then “Run anyway,” and continue through the setup wizard. | If “Run anyway” isn't available or an organization policy blocks installation, contact the device administrator. Don't treat a browser download failure, architecture mismatch, and SmartScreen warning as the same issue. |
| macOS “Unable to verify developer” |
Move the app to Applications and try opening it once. Then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, find the relevant blocked app entry, select “Open Anyway,” and confirm as prompted. | Launch the app again from the Applications folder. If the computer is managed by an organization, system policy may restrict this action; check with the administrator. |
| macOS “App is damaged” prompt |
First confirm that the app came from this site and is in Applications. Open Terminal and run: xattr -cr /Applications/Shadowrocket.app |
The command recursively removes extended attributes from this app. Verify the path before running it, and apply it only to this app, not a system folder. Then reopen the app. |
| Android Install-source permission prompt |
Open the apk from your download history. Follow the prompt to open that browser's Install unknown apps settings, enable “Allow from this source” or “Allow installation of unknown apps,” then return to the installer. | The permission applies to the browser or file manager that opened the apk, not all apps. You can revoke this permission afterward. If the installer is incompatible, check the arm64 architecture. |
| Linux AppImage won't run |
Go to the download directory, replace the filename with the actual downloaded name, then run: chmod +x Shadowrocket.AppImageThen run: ./Shadowrocket.AppImage |
Check the path and filename first. If a runtime dependency is missing, install it according to your distribution's instructions; don't use execute permission changes as a substitute for checking dependencies. |
| Linux Install deb / rpm |
In the directory containing the file, use its actual filename. Debian / Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./filename.debFedora: sudo dnf install ./filename.rpmopenSUSE: sudo zypper install ./filename.rpm |
The package manager displays dependencies and changes; review them before confirming. The filename is an example and should be replaced with the complete name in your download directory. You can use terminal completion. |
Once the client opens normally, the system prompt stage is complete. If you can't establish a connection, check the imported details, server parameters, selected policy, and current network instead of reinstalling repeatedly. When you first enable a connection, the system may ask you to confirm network configuration or related permissions. Read the prompt and grant permissions as needed for your device.
If you have an existing configuration, save any necessary details before updating. App updates for iPhone and iPad are managed by the App Store; for other platforms, return to this page to get the latest installer. Updating the app does not update a subscription. Check them separately to avoid mistaking a change in subscription content for an installation issue.
This section applies to iPhone and iPad only. For Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux, use the installers from this site above; there's no need to search the App Store for desktop or Android installation formats.
The app isn't available in the mainland China App Store. The country or region associated with your Apple ID determines which store you see; it isn't determined solely by your phone language, network location, or the region shown in system settings. The product link uses the US storefront, but it won't switch your signed-in account to the US storefront. Seeing the product page in a browser doesn't guarantee that your current purchasing account can complete the purchase.
The name is only one clue. For iPhone and iPad, check the developer, official icon, and app ID together. For other platforms, use the installer buttons on this page.
id932747118, and the app ID is 932747118. Search result rankings can change; the ID is more reliable for verification than a result's position.The iPhone and iPad versions cost $2.99 once on the App Store; the Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. For a first-time purchase, a listing with the same name marked free in the App Store is an imitation. If the original account has already purchased the app and shows a cloud download button, that is a normal way to restore the purchase; check the developer and ID as well.
The computer and Android versions are free, so App Store price checks don't apply to them. Use a button on this page to get a file from this site's /dl/shadowrocket/ path, and check the platform and format. Modified installers from other sources are not official installers provided by this site. Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial application; a similar interface is not a substitute for checking the download source.
These are official App Store screenshots of the English interface, provided only to help identify screens and fields. Lists, server details, and interface details may vary with user configuration or app updates. The displayed content is not usable connection information, and does not mean this site provides the corresponding service.
App purchase records and connection configuration are separate types of data. Restore the client first, then check whether your own subscription, server details, and rules have been restored.
The initial iPhone / iPad purchase is a one-time $2.99 on the App Store. Downloading again with the original purchasing account does not require another payment; the Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. An iPhone and iPad using the same Apple ID share one purchase, but each device needs a separate installation and configuration check.
A restorable purchase record does not guarantee that all settings migrate automatically. Before resetting or handing over an old device, save any configuration and subscription details you still need, and manage their credentials securely.
When changing devices, return to this page and download for the new device. An old Intel Mac doesn't mean a new Mac also needs the Intel version; on Linux, check the distribution and installation format again. Once the app is installed, restore your own configuration files.
If you're migrating configuration from an old device, check local paths, network interfaces, and device-specific settings. Don't assume that the old values still apply on the new device. After importing, test a basic connection before restoring more complex rules and on-demand connection conditions.
If restoration fails, note the step where the issue occurs: missing purchase history, failed download or installation, configuration not restored, or no connection after restoration. Checking each stage is more effective than repeatedly reinstalling.
Keep the cost of getting the client separate from the cost of services you already use. A download button, app purchase record, and subscription update are different things.
| Device | Client price | Getting and updating |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone / iPad | One-time $2.99 on the US storefront; no monthly client fee. Other storefronts show local currency. | Purchase, redownload, and update through the App Store; check the product page for compatibility. |
| Mac / Windows / Android / Linux | Free. The Apple silicon and Intel Mac versions are in the same free tier. | Get the installer using the button for your platform on this site. When updating, choose the right platform and architecture again. |
The validity period, available servers, and connection parameters for a user's existing subscription depend on their current service or own server configuration. The client reads those details and establishes connections according to its settings. If the list is empty after import, first check the subscription content and its validity; buying the client again won't resolve that issue.
After installation, test basic functionality with connection details you've confirmed are valid, then switch to Config to check rule routing. For the steps to import a Subscribe link or enter details manually with Add Server, see the Getting Started guide. For DOMAIN-SUFFIX, GEOIP, and FINAL rule behavior, see the Configuration Reference.
