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.

塔台是一个在你 iPhone 上运行的配置文件转换工具。 它解决的是一件很具体的事:你手上有一份订阅文本,而你使用的客户端需要另一种格式的配置文件。塔台把前者转换成后者。 转换全部在这台设备上完成。订阅地址、节点信息和生成的配置文件不会上传到任何服务器,也不经过任何第三方在线转换服务。 ■ 它做什么 · 读取订阅文本,识别其中的节点条目 · 支持十二种协议格式的解析与输出 · 生成七种客户端各自的配置文件格式 · 按国家和地区自动分组,生成对应的策略组 · 内置规则集,也可以导入你自己的规则 · 生成好的文件可以分享、复制,或直接交给同一台设备上的目标 App ■ 为什么在本机做 同类工具通常把订阅内容发到远程服务器转换。订阅文本里有服务器地址和密码,一旦发出去,你就无法确认它被怎么处理了。 塔台不发。转换器、规则快照和用于识别国家地区的 IP 数据库都随 App 一起打包,需要用到时直接在设备上查。 ■ 关于联网 塔台只在三种情况下联网,每一种都由你按下按钮触发:获取你自己填写的订阅地址、导入你主动提供的规则链接、以及解析节点域名。除此之外它不会在后台或启动时发起任何请求。 国家和地区的识别不联网:先看节点名字,看不出来才查随 App 打包的离线数据库。你的服务器地址不会被发送出去查询。 ■ 关于数据 塔台没有账号、没有统计、没有崩溃上报、没有广告,也没有任何第三方 SDK。它不收集任何数据。 写到磁盘的文件——包括导出的配置和二维码图片——使用 iOS 的完整文件保护,设备锁定时无法读取。 ■ 代码是公开的 上面每一条都可以自己去代码里核对,而不用相信这段文字: https://github.com/pengchujin/tower ■ 请注意 塔台是一个文件格式转换工具。它本身不建立任何网络连接隧道,不接管系统流量,也不提供任何服务器或节点。你需要自备订阅内容,并使用其他 App 来使用生成的配置。
