Your internet, Anywhere — fast, private, and beautifully simple. Anywhere is the proxy client your Apple devices deserve. No clunky wrappers, no bloated cross-platform shells — just a clean, native app built from the ground up in Swift, designed to feel like it belongs on your device. Because it does. Traveling abroad, working remotely, or simply wanting a more private way to browse? Anywhere connects you in a single tap, then quietly gets out of your way. --- WHY ANYWHERE • One tap and you're on. No menus to dig through, no dashboards to decode — open the app, tap once, done. • Fast by nature. Built natively in Swift, Anywhere launches in a blink, sips battery, and moves your traffic with the speed only a true native app can deliver. • Every connection takes the right path. Smart routing rules send traffic through your server when it needs protection and straight to the internet when it doesn't — so pages load faster and videos stream smoother. • Made for where you are. Heading home for the holidays? Country Bypass keeps your local apps running at full speed while everything else stays protected. • Ads, gone. Purify blocks ads at the network level — across your browser, your apps, and your favorite streaming services. No extensions required. --- EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • iPhone and iPad, with one-tap toggles right in Control Center • Apple TV, as a full native app for the living room • Apple Watch, so you can connect and switch setups from your wrist --- A FULL TOOLKIT, BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED • Import a subscription from a link or a quick QR scan • Test server latency with a single tap • Link servers into chains for advanced setups • Always On VPN, for protection that never sleeps • Deep, flexible routing rules for power users • Capture and inspect traffic with the built-in MITM tools --- WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Anywhere speaks the protocols you already use — VLESS (with Vision and Reality), Hysteria2, Shadowsocks, Trojan, AnyTLS, and more. If your provider hands you a subscription link, Anywhere takes it from there. --- PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Your traffic flows through your servers — never ours. We don't see it, we don't log it, we don't want it. And Anywhere is open source under GPLv3, so anyone can verify exactly what we do — and what we don't. --- BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO CARE We made Anywhere because we were tired of proxy apps that felt like homework. So we built the one we wanted to use: native, thoughtful, and polished down to details you can feel the moment it opens. --- Download Anywhere — and see what a proxy client can be when it's truly made for the device in your hand.
