ClashBoard is a native iOS dashboard for a Mihomo, Clash or sing-box core that you already run yourself — on a home server, a router, or a VPS. It is not a VPN. ClashBoard installs no network extension and carries none of your device's traffic. It connects to your own core's external controller, shows you what that core is doing, and lets you change it. NO SERVER? START WITH THE DEMO A complete simulated core is built in, one tap from the first screen. Traffic, nodes, connections, rules and logs — all of it running on the device, opening no connection of any kind. You can see the whole app before you configure anything. WHAT YOU GET Overview — live upload and download, charted separately so upload is still visible when it runs two orders of magnitude below download. Total transferred, active connection count, and which hosts are busiest right now. Proxies — every node group, with latency. Switch a group's selection or latency-test the whole group. Delays that read zero are shown as untested rather than instant, because that is what a core actually means by zero. Connections — every open connection, searchable by host, IP, process, chain or rule. Per-connection throughput, computed by differencing the core's cumulative counters. Tap for full detail: route chain, matched rule, destination, source process, DNS mode. Closed connections are kept for half an hour, so a connection that ends while you are reading it does not simply vanish. Rules — your whole rule set in evaluation order, searchable. Logs — the core's log stream, live. BUILT FOR iOS Real UITabBarController navigation, Liquid Glass on iOS 26, and a list that holds still: nothing is ever ordered by a value that changes while you are looking at it. MULTIPLE SERVERS Keep as many as you like and switch between them. Addresses stay on the device; secrets are held in the iOS keychain. PRIVACY No accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs. ClashBoard collects nothing about you. REQUIREMENTS A Mihomo, Clash or sing-box core you run yourself, with its external controller reachable from your iPhone. Plain http over a local network is expected and supported.
