Disclaimer

This is the official Shadowrocket site and guide. This disclaimer explains the scope of the information on this site and guidance on obtaining and using the client. Read it before downloading, installing, or changing your configuration. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited, or affects rights you have under applicable law.

1. Website Scope and Service Boundaries

This site provides guidance on getting Shadowrocket, using its interface, managing configurations, and troubleshooting. Shadowrocket is closed-source commercial software. The client processes connections and rules configured by users; installing it does not grant access to any server.

This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscriptions, and is not involved in transactions between users and service providers. The articles and guide assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. Get subscription URLs from your service provider. A one-time client purchase does not include a service plan. Subscription validity, availability, and connection requirements depend on the relevant service.

2. Download Options and Pricing

The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time US price of $2.99. The actual price, currency, and terms of purchase depend on the App Store listing. The Mac versions (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Installers are available from /dl/shadowrocket/ under /dl/ on this site.

Before buying, check the product name, Shadowrocket, the official icon, the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, and app ID 932747118. For iPhone and iPad, check the App Store listing for system requirements. Download links for all platforms are listed on the download page. App Store payments, refunds, and purchase restoration are subject to the store's current policies.

3. Guide Accuracy and User Responsibility

Tutorials are based on the interface available and features that could be verified when they were written. Layouts, settings locations, and system permission prompts may change with app versions, device environments, or system updates. The steps described do not guarantee that every device will show the same interface. If something looks different, check the conditions stated in the guide, then follow the options shown in the app.

Before changing Config, Global Routing, or Subscribe, keep a recoverable copy of your configuration and confirm that you have the required server details. Incorrect rules, addresses, or authentication details may interrupt your connection. Examples in the guide explain fields and syntax; they are not ready-to-use services. For help, see the setup guide and configuration management guide before replacing a working configuration.

4. Installation Prompts and Device Security

Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so your system may block them the first time you install or open them. Confirm that the file came from the download path specified on this site, then follow the platform-specific steps in the installation instructions on the download page. Mac users should select the version for Apple silicon or Intel. On other systems, choose a file that matches your device and package format.

A system prompt does not verify where a file came from. Allow installation only for Shadowrocket files whose source you have confirmed; do not leave system protections disabled. Organization policies may restrict installation on managed devices, so follow your device management requirements. If you are unsure what a prompt means, stop and check the instructions first.

The App Store link on this site lets you view the app listing and make a purchase. Once you leave this site, the store controls its page content, regional availability, payment processing, and terms of service. This site cannot control changes to or access to the store page, and this guide does not replace current transaction information shown by the store.

Configure the client in accordance with applicable law and your organization’s network-use policies. Keep subscription URLs, passwords, and exported configuration files secure. Responsibility for issues caused by configuration errors, changes to a service, or device conditions depends on the circumstances; this disclaimer does not exclude liability wholesale. The version published on this page applies when this disclaimer is updated. For information about personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
