About Shadowrocket Manual
Shadowrocket Manual · Official Guide covers Shadowrocket setup, importing an existing subscription, rule-based routing, and troubleshooting. Find instructions for your device and the step you're working on.
There are two ways to get Shadowrocket: the iPhone and iPad version is a $2.99 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 installers are provided through this site’s download page at /dl/.
Content maintenance and fact-checking
Instructions are based on hands-on checks of the current interface. Interface labels such as Home and Config remain in English, with explanations of their purpose and the steps to follow. Where behavior differs by system, the relevant conditions are stated; a single test result is not presented as universal.
For iPhone and iPad, verify the official icon, developer Shadow Launch Technology Limited, and app ID 932747118 on the App Store product page. Check that page for the current system requirements.
If your system blocks the app when you first open it, first confirm that the file came from this site. Then follow the installation and security prompt guide for macOS Privacy & Security, Windows SmartScreen, Android installation permissions, or Linux execution permissions.
Service scope and user responsibilities
No nodes or subscriptions are provided, sold, or recommended on this site. Configuration guides assume you already have your own subscription or server details. A one-time app purchase is not a network service plan; app access fees and network service fees are separate.
Users are responsible for following local laws and network policies and confirming they are authorized to use any relevant servers and configurations. Examples in this documentation explain how to use the app and do not guarantee results for any particular network or connection.
For help, start with Troubleshooting or review the steps in the Getting Started Guide. Remove subscription URLs, passwords, and keys before describing an issue.
