The engine that handles your traffic is public on GitHub, so anyone can read, audit and build it. Load a Clash-compatible configuration or subscription and connect in seconds. ChocLite routes your device traffic through the servers you configure, following the rules you define, and shows you exactly what's happening on the wire. OPEN-SOURCE CORE • clash-rs, written in Rust and developed in the open: https://github.com/ibigbug/clash-rs • The core and the app are developed by the same team • Written in Rust for memory safety and efficiency, and designed to run within iOS network-extension limits CORE FEATURES • One-tap connect and disconnect • Clash-compatible configuration files and subscriptions, imported with one tap from a link • Rule-based traffic routing — by domain, IP, GeoIP, and more • Shadowsocks, VMess, VLESS (including REALITY), Trojan, Hysteria2, TUIC, WireGuard, AnyTLS, ShadowQUIC and SOCKS5 • Live traffic monitoring with charts • Subscription info and bandwidth tracking DASHBOARD (in-app purchase) • Rules — view and manage all routing rules • Proxy Servers — speedtest and monitor server latency • Connections — real-time active connection monitor with search • Flows — live traffic breakdown by destination, country, and ASN • DNS — query and inspect DNS records on the fly • Logs — detailed logging with export ADVANCED • TUN mode for system-wide routing • Custom DNS configuration • Outbound group management — switch nodes instantly • Tailscale integration • A refined, native UI for iPad and iPhone, in light and dark ChocLite requires you to supply your own Clash-compatible proxy configuration.
