Neko Dash is a modern dashboard client for remotely connecting to and managing Clash-compatible cores, OpenWrt controllers, and Surge controllers. It is not a VPN or proxy application itself. Please note before purchasing or using: • This app requires an already deployed Clash / OpenWrt / Surge controller to function properly. • This app does not provide proxy nodes, subscriptions, routing services, VPN services, or network access. • This app is best suited for users who already understand the basic concepts of controller dashboards. If you already have a working controller environment, Neko Dash helps you monitor and manage it remotely and conveniently on your iPhone. If you do not have a connectable controller environment, or if you do not understand what a “Controller” is, please download and purchase with caution. 【Trial and Purchase】 Neko Dash includes a 7-day free trial. After the trial period ends, a one-time in-app purchase is required to continue using the app. This purchase unlocks the full app experience permanently and is not an auto-renewing subscription. Users who previously purchased or downloaded the paid version of Neko Dash may continue using the app without purchasing again, subject to App Store receipt validation. You can restore your purchase at any time from the unlock page. 【Core Features】 • Multi-Controller Management Add and manage multiple Clash cores, OpenWrt controllers, and Surge controllers simultaneously. • Real-Time Status Dashboard Monitor upload and download speeds in real time with a clean, native iOS-style dashboard. • Widget Support Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen widgets help you quickly view important controller status. • Powerful Proxy Group Control Visualized policy groups clearly display included nodes and their current status. One-tap latency testing helps you test nodes within policy groups. Quick switching provides a smooth interactive experience for changing proxy nodes. • Connection and Traffic Analysis View active TCP/UDP connections in real time, including source IP, target domain, upload/download data usage, and connection duration. Force disconnect allows you to manually close specific connections when needed. • Rule and Configuration Management Preview active routing rules directly inside the app. Modify supported controller settings remotely, including running mode, log level, and port settings, without manually editing configuration files. • Visual Experience Designed for iOS with support for both Light Mode and Dark Mode.

CloudDrive2 brings all your cloud storage together in one powerful app. Access, manage, and stream files across multiple cloud services — no switching between apps. UNIFIED CLOUD MANAGEMENT Connect all your cloud accounts in one place: Google Drive, OneDrive, Aliyun Drive, Baidu Pan, 115, S3, WebDAV, and more. Browse, search, copy, move, rename, and organize files across clouds with a clean, intuitive interface. On iPad, a Finder-style Columns view and a file inspector panel make large libraries easy to navigate. EMBY & JELLYFIN CLIENT WITH DIRECT STREAM Connect your own Emby or Jellyfin servers and browse your libraries with posters, cast, and Continue Watching. When your CloudDrive can reach the same file, Direct Stream plays it straight from the cloud — bypassing the server transcoder for full-quality playback of formats servers can't transcode, while your watch history stays in sync. AI SUBTITLE TRANSLATION Generate translated subtitles for any video: CloudDrive2 translates the existing subtitle track (including PGS bitmap subtitles via on-device OCR) or falls back to speech recognition when there is none. Uses Apple's on-device translation models — free and private — or your own API. Generated subtitles are saved next to the video, ready to reuse on all your devices. POWERFUL MEDIA PLAYER Built-in video player with hardware-accelerated decoding supports H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision — including true Dolby Vision playback of Profile 7 Blu-ray content. Stream directly from the cloud without downloading. Picture-in-Picture, per-track audio/subtitle delay, subtitle styling, and HDR subtitle brightness control included. BLU-RAY ISO PLAYBACK WITH DISC MENUS Play Blu-ray ISO images directly from your cloud storage — now with native disc menu navigation: scene selection, colored shortcut keys, in-menu audio/subtitle setup, even 2D+3D combo discs. Disc menus cover HDMV discs; BD-J (Java) discs play the main feature directly. MULTICHANNEL & DOLBY ATMOS Dolby Atmos (Dolby Digital Plus) bitstreams to your AVR over HDMI. TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS decode in full and reach multichannel USB DACs, HDMI adapters and AirPlay 2 as 5.1 or 7.1 — never folded to stereo. AirPods Pro/Max get head-tracked spatial audio instead. AUDIOPHILE-GRADE DSD & SACD DSD files (.dsf, .dff) and SACD ISO images stream straight from the cloud — including multichannel DSD in true 5.1. DoP output feeds compatible DACs bit-perfectly, and background playback keeps the music going. PDF READER Read PDFs streamed from the cloud — no full download needed. Zoom, page thumbnails, bookmarks, and reading-position memory. MOVIE LIBRARY METADATA Reads your local .nfo files and poster/fanart/logo artwork (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby naming) for rich movie info — no online scraping, your library stays private. CROSS-CLOUD TRANSFERS Copy or move files between cloud providers. Transfer manager with pause, resume, retry, throttling, and concurrency control. Upload folders recursively. BACKUP & SYNC Automated backup tasks with scheduling, plus photo library backup. FILES APP INTEGRATION Full File Provider extension — access your cloud files from the iOS/iPadOS Files app and any app using the document picker. CloudDrive2 can also act as an external player for other apps via the clouddrive:// URL scheme. SECURITY Two-factor authentication, encrypted folders, and session monitoring. A built-in WebDAV server shares your cloud files with your other devices, and API tokens grant scoped, expiring access. ADVANCED FEATURES • Disk cache with configurable eviction • Multiple view modes: list, grid, gallery, columns • Open in third-party players (Infuse, VLC, nPlayer) • Dark and light themes Some advanced playback features (Emby/Jellyfin client, AI subtitles, Blu-ray disc playback, DSD/SACD) require the optional App Pro upgrade, available as an in-app purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Neko Dash at 4.8 against CloudDrive2's 4.0. CloudDrive2's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neko Dash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CloudDrive2 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Neko Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Neko Dash's written reviews are positive against 67% of CloudDrive2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Neko Dash ships an update every 2 weeks, CloudDrive2 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
