Clash - Rule based proxy utility is now on iOS. Clash is a rule-based network proxy utility powered by Hako. Hako builds on the open-source mihomo project and powers the app's NetworkExtension runtime on Apple platforms. The app is built natively with SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad — not a web wrapper and not a port. Bring your existing Clash or mihomo profile URL. Clash then decides how each connection should be handled: direct, through a selected proxy, or rejected by your rules. Clash ships with no servers and no proxy lines; you supply your own configuration or profile URL. GETTING STARTED 1. Import — paste a profile URL, scan a QR code, open a YAML configuration, Share one from another app, or start with a blank profile. 2. Choose — refresh policy groups, test latency, and select the route you want. 3. Connect — connect from Home, Control Center, or Shortcuts, then switch routing modes whenever needed. RULE-BASED ROUTING • Rule / Global / Direct modes, switched in one tap • Match domains, suffixes, keywords, IP-CIDR, GEOIP, GEOSITE, ports, network types, and more • Add custom rules with a visual editor — no YAML by hand • Update remote rule providers on a schedule • Every connection shows the rule it matched and the node it took NODES AND POLICY GROUPS • select, url-test, fallback, load-balance, and relay policy groups • Refresh nodes, test latency, and change selections quickly • Create nodes manually with a field-level editor, configure proxy chains, or use nodes from an imported profile • Read mihomo-format YAML configurations and remote profiles directly • Accepts ss / ssr / vmess / vless / trojan / hysteria2 / tuic / anytls share links and Base64 node lists DNS • Resolver lists, per-domain policies, Fake-IP and real-IP modes • DNS over HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, and UDP • Local DNS mapping: pin a domain to an address you choose, ahead of any resolver • DNS self-checks, cache controls, and resolution-path diagnostics A VISIBLE NETWORK • Live upload and download speed with cumulative traffic • Current connections, request history, matched rules, and outbound routes • Runtime logs, core status, and resource usage • Network quality testing, STUN, and NAT type detection BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • A sidebar with two-column detail on iPad; ⌘1 through ⌘9 jump to the sidebar sections • Light and Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver throughout • Control Center control for one-tap connect • Shortcuts and Siri actions for connect, disconnect, toggle, and routing mode • Share extension: send a configuration from any app to import it • On Demand rules for automatic takeover on selected networks • Local and iCloud Drive configuration backup and restore • Localized in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese SUPPORTED OUTBOUND PROTOCOLS HTTP, SOCKS, Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, Snell, VMess, VLESS, Trojan, AnyTLS, Mieru, Sudoku, Hysteria, Hysteria2, TUIC, ShadowQUIC, GOST Relay, WireGuard, Tailscale, ZeroTier, SSH, MASQUE, TrustTunnel, OpenVPN PRIVACY • No data collected • No ads, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs • Configurations and credentials use iOS Data Protection; optional backups use your own Apple/iCloud account. • Logs and diagnostics stay local unless you choose to share them. • Network traffic flows only between your device and the services you configure OPEN-SOURCE CORE The Hako core source is public for audit. Issues are welcome. Hako is built on the open-source mihomo project. To connect, you need a Clash or mihomo configuration — bring your own, or create and edit one in the app — and a network service you control or are authorized to use.
