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 — all running on a network engine written from scratch for Apple platforms. Switch it on once and the whole device is behind the proxy. Every connection your apps make can be inspected, routed, rewritten, or blocked by rules you wrote. SYSTEM-WIDE PROXY • Chute VIF — a transparent virtual interface on a custom TCP/IP stack, no per-app setup • Local HTTP and SOCKS5 servers for the other devices on your network • Hot reload — edit rules, DNS, and scripts without dropping a single connection • On-demand activation, per-Wi-Fi behavior, and persistence across 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 — plus a built-in Tailscale client.

A single one-time purchase — no subscription — adds multiple switchable configurations, iCloud sync, HTTPS decryption, traffic recording for Chute Dashboard, local server control, the Picture in Picture monitor, 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 does not provide network access on its own — you 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.
