Chute turns your iPhone and iPad into a complete network workstation: a rule-based proxy client, an HTTPS debugging proxy, and a full DNS stack β€” all running on a network engine written from scratch for Apple platforms. Switch it on and every connection your apps make can be inspected, routed, rewritten, or blocked by your rules. SYSTEM-WIDE PROXY β€’ Chute VIF β€” a transparent virtual interface on a custom TCP/IP stack, no per-app setup β€’ Local HTTP and SOCKS5 servers for other devices on your network β€’ Proxy chaining β€” a node through another node, a group through one upstream, or one Front Proxy for every node β€’ Hot reload β€” edit rules, DNS, and scripts without dropping a connection; on-demand start that survives reboots 17 PROXY PROTOCOLS HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 over TLS, Shadowsocks (AEAD, AEGIS, and 2022), ShadowsocksR, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, TUIC v5, Hysteria2, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, AnyTLS, ShadowTLS, MASQUE, and SSH tunneling β€” plus a built-in Tailscale client.

A one-time purchase β€” no subscription β€” adds multiple switchable configurations, iCloud sync, HTTPS decryption, traffic recording for Chute Dashboard, local server control, Picture in Picture, and Always On. One purchase covers up to 3 iPhone or iPad devices and 3 Apple TV devices. Chute does not operate proxy servers and provides no network access on its own β€” bring your own server or a service you already use. Traffic and logs stay on your device. Chute collects no browsing data and sells nothing to anyone.
