Five platforms, one wiring diagram. Every platform's package list is sorted in recommended order: the first card is Clash Plus, the top pick, followed by alternative clients with their own strengths, and archived clients at the end that are no longer maintained. Version numbers and download links are driven live from the version manifest, so the page never falls behind an update.

Click a terminal below to switch platforms. The address bar picks up an anchor when you switch, so if you send the link to someone else, they'll land on the same platform.
Five clients are listed in recommended order. For everyday use, the first one is enough; if you want to tinker with rule editing or script overrides, check the ones below. All installers are x64 — just double-click and follow the prompts. Enabling the system proxy for the first time requires a one-time admin confirmation.
One interface across all five platforms, with the mihomo core built in — just paste your subscription and go. Launch on startup, system proxy, and TUN mode are all toggles on the home screen, no digging through settings. It's the easiest starting point for first-time Clash users, and configs carry over to other platforms with zero relearning.
The most actively maintained desktop client, built on Tauri with a small footprint. Rule editing, Merge/Script overrides, and multi-subscription grouping are all well fleshed out — a good fit if you already write YAML and want fine-grained routing control.
A cross-platform client built with Flutter, with a clean interface and the same logic on mobile and desktop. The portable build runs straight from the unzipped folder without touching the registry — handy for a USB drive or a work PC where installs are restricted.
Another Tauri-based fork with more polish put into its theming and animations; feature coverage is close to Verge Rev. Worth trying if you like customizing the look and feel — the config format is compatible with the other clients.
Once the desktop standard-bearer, the project has stopped updates and been archived. Basic proxying still works, but the core is frozen — no new protocol support, no bug fixes. Fine for running an old config as-is, but for long-term use, move to one of the actively maintained clients above.
| Item | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OS version | Windows 10 1809 or later | Verge Rev / Nyanpasu depend on WebView2, bundled since Win10 |
| Architecture | x64 | All installers on this page are 64-bit |
| Permissions | One-time admin confirmation | UAC prompt appears when enabling system proxy / TUN mode |
| Disk space | About 200 MB | Includes the core and rule database |
Each card offers both an Apple Silicon and an Intel build — check your chip first via Apple menu → About This Mac: pick arm64 for an Apple M-series chip, x64 for Intel. If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway."
Sits in the menu bar with one-click proxy mode switching, sharing the same config logic as the Windows and mobile versions. Runs natively on M-series chips without Rosetta translation, for better power efficiency.
The most full-featured desktop option — rule overrides and multi-config switching work just as well on Mac. Enabling system proxy or TUN mode for the first time requires a password to install a helper component; just authorize once when prompted.
The interface matches the Android version exactly, so users familiar with FlClash on their phone won't need to relearn anything on Mac. Subscription management and proxy group switching all happen on one screen — light and straightforward.
A classic Mac menu-bar client, minimal with no main window — a nostalgic pick for longtime users. The project is discontinued: the existing build still handles basic rule-based routing fine, but there are no new features or fixes. For a fresh setup, go with one of the maintained clients above.
| Item | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OS version | macOS 11 Big Sur or later | Clash Plus recommends macOS 12+ |
| Chip | Apple Silicon / Intel | Pick the build based on the chip shown in About This Mac |
| Permissions | One-time authorization | One Gatekeeper approval plus one helper-component install |
All Android builds are direct APK installs. Opening the downloaded file will prompt for "install unknown apps" permission — just allow it once for your browser or file manager in the system dialog. Starting the proxy for the first time triggers a VpnService authorization prompt, which you must accept, or the local tunnel won't come up. If you're unsure of your device's architecture, pick arm64-v8a — it covers virtually every mainstream phone released after 2016.
Shares the same subscription and rule logic as the desktop version, with per-app proxying, auto-reconnect, and a quick-settings tile all built in. It's all you need for everyday phone use, and configs carry over across devices.
The longest-running Meta-lineage client on Android — a plain but stable interface with the finest config-file-level control, suited to users who like editing YAML directly. Three architecture builds are available; the universal one is the largest but most compatible.
One of the most comfortable mobile interfaces: proxy groups laid out as cards, one-tap latency testing for the whole list, and dark mode that follows the system. Operation matches the desktop FlClash exactly, for a consistent experience across devices.
An Android client compatible with the Surge config format that also supports importing Clash subscriptions. Good for users with existing Surge-style configs who want to reuse them on Android; the universal build installs directly on any architecture.
| Item | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OS version | Android 7.0 or later | Clash Plus / FlClash recommend 8.0+ |
| Architecture | arm64-v8a preferred | Pick armeabi-v7a for old 32-bit devices, or universal if unsure |
| Permissions | VpnService authorization | Prompted on first connection — must be allowed |
| Background | Add to battery-saver whitelist | Prevents OEM battery managers from killing the background process |
iPhone and iPad install Clash Plus through the App Store, which pushes updates automatically — no manual version management needed. After installing, allow VPN configuration in Settings, then import your subscription; for more details, visit clashplus.io.
On iOS, the local tunnel runs through NetworkExtension, with support for rule-based routing, proxy group switching, and on-demand connection. It shares the same subscription system as the Android and desktop versions, so one subscription works across all five platforms. clashplus.io hosts a version index and docs for every platform.
| Item | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OS version | iOS 15 / iPadOS 15 or later | Installs on both iPhone and iPad |
| Install source | App Store | Updates are pushed automatically by the store |
| Permissions | Allow adding a VPN configuration | Confirmed via a system prompt on first connection |
Desktop Linux ships deb and rpm packages: Debian / Ubuntu use sudo apt install ./package-name.deb, and Fedora / openSUSE use sudo rpm -i package-name.rpm or the equivalent dnf command. Enabling TUN mode requires granting network capabilities to the core binary, which the client can do with one click in settings. For headless servers, use the mihomo core in T6 instead.
The most feature-complete, most actively maintained graphical client on Linux desktops — tray icon, system proxy, and TUN mode all work fine under GNOME and KDE. Rule overrides and subscription management match the Windows version exactly.
A lightweight option with a consistent cross-platform interface, few dependencies, and a fast startup. Users already familiar with FlClash on mobile can move to the desktop version with zero relearning.
| Item | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Distro | Ubuntu 20.04+ / Debian 11+ / Fedora 38+ | Other distros may work by manually unpacking |
| Architecture | x86_64 | ARM devices should use the T6 core files |
| Desktop environment | GNOME / KDE and other mainstream environments | Tray icon requires AppIndicator support |
| Permissions | sudo for install, authorization for TUN | Core capabilities are set with one click inside the client |
This is the bare core with no GUI, meant for servers, routers, and embedded devices: download the build for your architecture, unpack it, and run it from the command line or as a systemd service alongside config.yaml. Regular desktop and phone users don't need to download the core separately — it's already bundled in the T1–T5 graphical clients above and updates along with them.
