1. Site Purpose and Scope
This is the official Shadowrocket site and manual, with guidance on getting the app across platforms, importing configurations, rule-based routing, and troubleshooting. This disclaimer applies to the instructions, examples, and on-site resource information published here. App purchases, payments, and refunds are also subject to the applicable store policies.
Use the client only on devices and networks you are authorized to manage, and confirm that your connection destinations and configuration uses comply with local laws, network policies, and applicable service terms. 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 the law.
2. The Client and Network Services
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes, subscriptions, or related services. Import guides assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. They explain how to enter, identify, and manage configurations, but make no guarantees about their source, validity period, availability, or connection performance.
A one-time client purchase is not a network service plan. Buying the client does not provide access to servers. For expired subscriptions, authentication failures, decommissioned servers, or network restrictions, check your existing service details and actual network conditions separately. Addresses such as example.com in tutorial examples illustrate formatting only; they are not usable connection details.
3. Tutorial Accuracy and User Responsibility
Tutorials are based on app interfaces and system workflows that could be checked when they were written. The location of Home, Config, Settings, and other options, as well as the steps to reach them, may vary by app, system, and device. If the instructions differ from the interface you see, check your current settings rather than repeating the steps mechanically.
We update content when we find errors, but cannot guarantee that every instruction reflects every device setup at all times. Before changing rules, DNS, or connection settings, save your existing configuration. Change only what is necessary, one item at a time, and verify the result. Responsibility for connection interruptions, overwritten configurations, or data loss depends on the actual cause and applicable law. Tutorials do not guarantee any particular outcome.
4. App Availability, Pricing, and External Links
Get the iPhone / iPad version from the App Store product page. The US store price is a one-time $2.99 purchase; check the App Store page for the purchase options and current price. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free, with installers available only from this site under /dl/. Check the App Store page for iPhone / iPad system requirements.
When checking the store listing, verify the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, the official icon, and app ID 932747118. The App Store is an external site and is responsible for its listing, payment, and order processing. We cannot guarantee that external pages will remain available, and links from this site do not replace the platform’s information about transactions.
5. Allowing Installation and Resolving Issues
Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so your system may block them during installation or the first launch. First confirm the platform and package type on the app download page, then follow the installation guidance. On Mac, check your chip type first. If Windows SmartScreen appears, verify the file’s source. On Android, grant only the permissions needed by the app performing the installation.
Allowing a file to run only permits that file to execute; it does not mean the system guarantees your connection configuration or subsequent results. Pause if a prompt does not match the instructions, the file’s source is unclear, or the device is managed by an organization. Do not broadly disable system protections. See the FAQ for common issues and the user guide for import and connection steps. Do not share subscription URLs, passwords, or other authentication details while troubleshooting.
