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.

meow is a native iOS proxy client built on the meow-rs engine — wrapped in a SwiftUI iOS 26 Liquid Glass UI, with traffic carried by a NetworkExtension packet tunnel provider. If you have ever managed a Clash or meow-rs configuration, meow will feel familiar. Subscribe to a YAML config, choose a proxy group, flip the toggle, and your traffic flows through the proxy engine — all on-device, with no cloud component. WHAT IT DOES • Clash-protocol YAML subscriptions with auto-refresh and a built-in YAML editor • Rule-based traffic routing (domain, IP, GeoIP, GeoSITE) • DNS-over-HTTPS resolution • Per-app proxy groups, latency tests, and selector switching • On-device packet tunnel — no external server handles your traffic SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS Shadowsocks, Trojan, and VLESS outbounds (with TLS, WebSocket, gRPC, H2 and HTTPUpgrade transports). HTTP and SOCKS5 outbounds are also supported for upstream proxies. PRIVACY Your subscription URLs, proxy credentials, configurations, and tunneled traffic stay on your device and are never transmitted by meow. The packet tunnel runs locally inside the Network Extension sandbox. The app does not collect analytics, subscription URLs, proxy credentials, configuration contents, DNS queries, or tunneled traffic. See the privacy policy for details. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or later (iPhone and iPad) • A proxy subscription you trust — meow does not provide any proxy servers meow is a one-time purchase, with no in-app purchases and no subscription fees. "Subscription" here means a proxy configuration URL (a Clash-style config subscription) that you supply — not a paid subscription. OPEN SOURCE meow-ios is open source.
